Wouldn't LOST IN SPACE EMCE's Be Cool ?

[Mikey]

CBS, which now owns Star Trek is currently doing the Trek EMCE figures ......

CBS (I think) also owns Lost In Space ......

I think LIS should be an easy one and big seller .......

Never watched the show myself, but they look like something Mego could have done back in the day.

Is that Guy Williams (Zorro) there??

[Mikey]

Yep,
That's Zorro :)

[The Toyroom]

The best part though is the robot...he'd require totally new molds and such wouldn't he?

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

Mmm. Good idea. I would like a Mego robot from LIS. And Dr Smith has already had a dolly made of him for Space Academy...could be just shrunken down.

[HardyGirl]

Yep, that would be so cool! I love LIS, and every time I bring it to school, my kids love it! Bring it on!:grin:

[kingdom warrior]

Yup That would be Awesome but a big part of the show was the many creatures and Villans...which for me added to the show and is why it's one of my all time favs. The Robot is Key.... no Robot and the line is DOA...

I think Boobie is essential, but he'd also be the biggest headache to create and reproduce.
Everything would have to be from scratch.

could be cool I guess,But I don't think there's too much of a market for them

I think there would almost be as big of market for them as Star Treks repros ......

The Mego nostalgia market is based on 35 - 50 year olds (for the most part)...

Yes, they'd probably be peg warmers in Comic Shops where there's a lot of kids, but I think they'd sell like the dickens on the net.

Mark Goddard actually lives a couple of towns over from me. He grew up in Lowell Mass and went to the same college I did. He is a teacher at a school for disadvantaged kids in Middleboro Mass. A guy I worked with at my last job was a member at the same golf course as he was. Always said he was a real nice guy and would stop and talk to you and sign autographs whenever you asked. Never met him myself. They would be cool figures but I don't know if they would have enough of a following to support an action figure. I agree the internet would definately help sales though. Much easier to reach a wider sales base today then it was 20 years ago.

[Meule]

Never saw the show, so I would probably pass

[Hulk]

The license was definitely in play during CTVT's run, and was definitely a strong consideration at one point.

[thunderbolt]

There are several B9 robots out there that could be shrunk down to Mego size, and I'd sure be interested in the line.

[The Bat]

I remember liking the Show as a little Kid...but it's no STAR TREK. I'd pass on them.

[kingdom warrior]

The show was actually really good the first season but by the second season they focused on Will,Dr.Smith an the Robot a bit too much...when the third season started they tried going back to the first season formula but quickly went back to the silly Dr.Smith stories which killed the show the last episode is probably the worst of the run....It may not be in the league of Star Trek but I'm very nostalgic about the show and loved it.... I think it would do Great as mego type toys

[fallensaviour]

I think there is a possibility of decent sales with this line.It does have a huge following much like trek and space 99.And who wouldn't want a mego scale of the robot???
If they did it I would buy it for sure.

[captact]

Count me in on that!! I have all the Trendmaster ones and those that werent made, including Penny with the Bloop,..so it would be great if EMCE would pick up this line ala MEGO.....

[Captain]

Amok Time started their own toy company this year, and have the license for Lost in Space action figures. They are doing the 12" line, but rumor has it a 6" line may also appear.
They also have classic Galactica, and are coming out with a ton of figures (some rereleases from the previous 12" line).

[starsky]

that's great amok time has acquired the license because sci fi metropolis looks like they went belly up?

[Randy]

Id buy LIS EMCE figs for sure!!

Trendmasters made a 7"robot that was virtually indentical to their 10" version, so if the tooling could be purchased it might make the cost of producing a new line more profitable. My biggest concern is that after the limited sales of the three well produced recent lines, a small company like EMCE might not want to take the monetary risk.
