What's the verdict on the EMCE POTAs?
Getting ready to buy some repro pieces from the Doc Mego site, and figured I'd round out the order with an EMCE Cornelius. Do you Mego Heads like the new versions? I think they look pretty darn cool but have no way to see one in person before I buy.

Do you have any of the EMCE Trek figures? If you like them, you'll like the POTA. They're as close to the originals as the Treks are. Which means: Nearly identical if you're a causual observer, or slightly different if you a bit of a mego head, or COMPLETELY wrong if you're anal
I'm in the middle. I find them to be a very nice, very close approximation to the originals.Like M.A.S.K.?

Cool. They don't have to be exact replicas for me to dig 'em. I'd just like to have something on a card that doesn't cost $300.

I would buy them with no reservations. I'm disappointed that the line is dormant right now.Comment

The only problem with these is that there are only four of them!No exclusives and no chase figures, please - I'm Canadian!

How about some Ape Generals and a few different Soldier Apes in different outfits?

The thing with the Soldier/Police Gorillas is their outfits are the same (except the "ranking" officers on the TV series have the stripes on the front of their vests), so different outfits aren't necessary unless you meant that you'd like to see reissued Gorillas with the same type of variants as the original MEGOs...
I'd prefer to see new Gorilla head sculpts rather than variant outfits unless the outfits would be truly different like Aboro's from "The Tyrant" TV episode or a sleeved (or sleeveless) tunic with a hieroglyphic like Julius wore in PLANET... An outfit made in the same colors as the Soldier Ape would be welcomed for Chief Urko though and a General Ursus outfit would be excellent (but maybe too hard to mass produce due to it being so elaborate compared to the rest)... But being that it sounds like EMCE won't be making new APES figures anytime soon, these "wants" of mine are pointless anyway...Comment

What about a baby Caesar action figure with pull-string voicebox that repeats, "Mama, mama!" over and over...Give us Golden Age Mego!!! Hourman! Golden Age Green Lantern, Jay Garrick would absolutely rock!sigpicComment
