Greatest American Hero

[BlueSnags]

Craig,

Any chance of a Greatest American Hero line? Would love to see Ralph, Bill, Pam, maybe even a figure of one of the Green Guys (aliens)?

I thought another company, maybe EMCE Toys, already did a limited run of a Ralph figure.

A limited ed GAH was made for Florida's FX con about 5 yrs back, it was a repro of the Prototype done by Mego, However, we collectors now need the remaining 2 figures from the line, which are bill as well as pam, Also the GAH now sells for about $100-150 with the suit version going for a bit more, This may be a bit pricey for the reg collector or person who might want one, also factor in the Popularity of the Series. Something to consider and maybe we can get them, I hope.

Last year I asked William Katt if he had any Retro figures leftover from the FX show and he said his are l-o-n-g gone.

I see. Maybe at some point I could do something similar and just produce a Ralph figure to test the waters. I'll definitely put it on my list of projects to consider.

That was DocMego/EMCE for FX, and it wasn't a repro, it was a brand new sculpt.

I'd like to see a Sho' Nuff figure from The Last Dragon. He's is pictured in the avatar in the post above me.

[JediJaida]

Oh yeah! I'd definitely buy one with the new sculpt!

I loved that show and I hated the way that it was constantly being bounced around the time slot!

[megocrazy]

I don't believe it was Katt that had the call. It was Cannell. With him passing on I don't know if anything has changed with the possibility of redoing the line. A proposed movie deal was the hold up if I remember correctly, though I'm not positive. I believe Doc mentioned once he actually spoke with Katt and he was interested but Cannell was the one that needed to be on board. The new sculpt is really nice. Of course we never really knew what the final production piece would have looked like. I'd say between the FX GAH and the new Gorn, they're my two favorite new sculpts.

I believe Robert Culp actually got to see the 8" Bill Maxwell prototype before he died. I know for a fact they were in the same building at the same time. This would be a cool line to see finished.

[Nostalgiabuff]

I would definately be interested in that line. the FX limited run Dr. Mego did was awesome but out of my price range. a mass produced line wouldf be awesome. If i recall correctl S. J. Canal did not want to do more than what Paul did so I gues it would be up to his estate

[JuliusMarxAFI]

Yeah. I'd TOTALLY buy that line! I loved that show. I have one of the FX show ones... but I don't want to open it.

About 15 years ago I was in a Shakespeare company in upstate New York and one of Robert Culp's sons was in the show with me. His dad never knew about the Mego prototypes that were floating around out there so I got to fill them in on all that stuff. Mr. Culp was really interested in tracking one down.

I'd love a Bill Maxwell and a Pam Davidson... heck I'd even buy a Tony, Rhonda, Carlyle and a "little green guy."

You relize that it,s not sealed right? The clam it,s in opens and closes quite easily.

[bobws]

Yeah, I'd buy Ralph, Billand pam and the 4 students as well. even the Greatsest Heroine and her daughter from the 2nd pilot.

[Wise4671]

Yep I would be on board with these for sure and heck if you make the students we will also have an Eddie from Eddie and the Crusers :grin:

[jimsmegos]

After scoring one of these I must say it is perhaps one of my most favorites. To round out the line would be cool. fingers crossed.

Bless your heart! For recognizing that Mr Nuff is the baddest, meanest, and prettiest low-down around this town, it would be my pleasure to send you a Mr Rock card.

PM me your address.

[BlueSnags]

I believe sales for a GAH line would be strong.

Ralph (in costume), Bill (suit),Pam and one of the Green Guys could be the first wave.

Second wave could be Ralph in civilian gear, Tony and Rhonda.

Third wave could be Bill (Happiness is a warm pistol t-shirt), Bad guy/thug, and Carlyle.

Even cooler would be if the Volkswagen bug were produced...I'd be all over that.

I recently got one of these and posted it in the mego like section. Its a great figure and the sculpt is fantastic. If you are seeing this figure for $100-$150 you really need to grab it. I have seen this from $200 - $400 easily due to the limited nature of the figure, and of course which version you get. I paid about $165 shipped but after seraching for a price I liked. Everyone one I ran into was in that $200 - $400 range.

Now, That being said , I think a another run of these would be cool for those who missed out or were unable to attend the FX show. I think Pam and Bill would be great as well because there is nothing better than rounding out a toy line with main characters. Paul did a great job with this figure , and I am sure Zica would too. I love the idea of Ralph with another spin on the 8" format and adding Pam and Bill too.

[powersthatbe]

i luckily own a fX greatest american hero retro figure

[THE FALCON]

I would buy a new Ralph figure in a heartbeat. Hell, I'd buy two!

[captact]

Doesnt Paul sell the dress suit separately for Ralph?

[MEMEGO]

Wow!!! The original GAH FV exculsive figure is up on Ebay for 599.99 dollars and its the regular edition, the signed one is up for a penny more. Is this what its going for now???? if it is, I am surprised big time.

[starsky]

i think the prices are inflated. i've seen some going from $100-$150.
