    I'd love Dungeons and Dragons but that's owned by Hasbro so that's never going to happen.

    I'd be happy with a generic sword and sorcery line with knights, elves, goblins, wizards, etc.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

      It would be neat to see FTC use Action Jackson as a substitute for some licenses, like releasing him in their CHIPS uniforms when the new movie is out, or packaging some of their exiting military outfits with AJ figures to create different theme adventure sets. They already have Western Outfits, Knights, Pirates, CHIPS, SWAT, Sheriff, Super Hero, Wrestling gear and more. I know they are working with CASTAWAY who owns the license, but it seems like they already have everything they need to launch a whole line of AJ sets.

        I would love for them to do a Secret Identity line for the DC characters. They already have:
        Batman - Bruce Wayne
        Robin - Dick Grayson
        Superman - Clark Kent

        They need to expand with:
        Wonder Woman - Diana Prince
        Green Arrow - Oliver Queen
        Green Lantern - Hal Jordan
        Flash - Barry Allen

        Plus I'd still LOVE for them to do a Green Lantern Corps series!

          From anything I've seen on this thread... that line seems the most the most promising. Archie seems to be a pretty strong, pretty persistent property. It'd be a shame to only get a couple characters out of it though... like FTC Gilligan's Island did...

          Two waves, baby!
          WAVE 1: Archie, Reggie, Betty & Veronica
          WAVE 2: Jughead, Sabrina, Mr. Weatherbee & Miss Grundy

            I never was a big fan of Archie. I haven't read them in years but for some reason I did like Little Archie. I would be interested in some figures of those.

              I realized after I posted this that this is one line where bigger heads would be correct. Unless they try to make them bigger than adult scale and then are also struck with the FTC big head syndrome on top of that. Then they'll look like a Funko Pop. Now that I said that I wonder why they don't have Archie Funko Pops. They have everything else practically. They actually have a Laura Palmer wrapped in plastic coming.

                You know, I wouldn't have suggested Archie, but actually I think it's a fun idea. I liked the Marx figures.

                    A decently done Game of Thrones would certainly be nice.

                        I'm all for it. It would save us from that hack on the Museum who is always posting those terrible GoT customs...

                          The Archies and I dream of Jeannie are good suggestions. But I'd also like to see Columbo.

                            I Dream of Jeannie is a great license. It would be best to get it while Barbara Eden and Roger Daly are still alive too.

                            And if Disney Princesses are too difficult to get, what about the Don Bluth Princesses like Odette, Anastasia, and Krysta etc.?

                              To me, this is really a "No Brainer",...
                              Most Mego fans grew up in the 1970's and we were fans of Live Action TV shows like Star Trek, Planet of the Apes and Batman.
                              However, there were live action TV shows on Saturday mornings as well and these shows just Scream, 1970's.
                              I'm talking about the creations of Sid & Marty Krofft!

                              H.R. Pufnstuf
                              Land of the Lost
                              Sigmund and the Sea Monsters
                              The Buggaloos
                              Lidsville
                              Electra Woman and Dyna Girl

                              FTC already has a deal with Hanna Barbera, why not do the Banana Splits?

                              I'd also love to see the AHI Monsters and the McDonaldland figures (of the 70's) re-released on a more Mego type body.
                              The House of Dracula - Monster Model Museum.

                                OK here's some of my picks for new licenses.

                                Doc Savage
                                Johnny Sokko
                                Nexus
                                Magnus Robot Fighter
                                Mage
                                Madman (comic)
                                Marshall Law
                                The Shadow
                                Wild Wild West
                                Bonanza
                                Rifleman
                                Camelot 3000
                                King Arthur
                                Michael Moorcock based line - Elric, Corum etc.
                                Young Ones
                                F-Troop
                                Greatest American Hero
                                Lone Ranger
                                Red Green
                                Matrix
                                Axe Cop
                                Rick and Morty
                                Ripping Friends

                                Marshall Law and Ripping Friends would need at least a new torso.and arms to look right.
