    EMCE to make DC Megos!

    From the press release:

    EMCE Toys to release retro 8 inch action figures based on the DC license.

    They're back! EMCE Toys announces a new line of 8 inch action figures based on the DC license. Reminiscent of the action figures first released in 1977-1978 by the Mego Toy Company, these figures will have retro cloth clothing, 16 points of articulation, and accessories.

    Paul Clarke (aka Dr. Mego, as he is known in the action figure community) told reporters, "Back in the 1970s, Mego licensed all the hottest properties of the day: superheroes, Star Trek, Planet of the Apes, Happy Days, CHIPs... even the Waltons. We at EMCE would really like to continue that proud tradition. Unfortunately, our friends at Figures Toy Company had already locked up so many of the big licenses. But today, I am proud to announce we have secured the rights to produce our own line of 8 inch DC figures. Yes, you heard correctly, our new line of figures will be based on the characters of Washington DC. FTC tried to monopolize the 8 inch market, but I found a way to make DC Megos! They may not be as iconic as the ones from DC Comics, but there are still plenty of great choices for our own DC line. In fact, the first figure released will be President Donald Trump. What!?!? FTC is doing a Trump figure too... are you sh*%@ing me!!!" The phase 1 assortment will include disgraced mayor Marion Barry, Redskins owner Dan Snyder, and the Washington Monument.

    In an if-you-can't-beat-them-join-them move, the figures are expected to feature comically oversized rotocast heads. "The public has spoken with their wallets," Clarke explained, "and apparently they like their action figures with gigantic melons. Our motto was, if it doesn't look like the lovechild of Charlie Brown and Peyton Manning, then go bigger."

    These figures will be available soon wherever you buy action figures (in other words, online only).

                Oh lawd, for a minute there, I actually thought this was a serious post!

                It was certainly messed up, and I loved it.
