What if Mego had lasted well into the 80s?
I don't think we've done one of these speculation type threads in a while.
How would they have countered popular 80s lines like Transformers, Masters of the Universe and GI JOE?
For Transformers, I'm thinking a Micronauts revival with the addition of transformable vehicles for the figures. For MOTU, I think they would have gone the Remco route and made their own MOTU like line maybe even with licensed characters like Thundarr. For GI JOE, I think they would have pushed Eagle Force maybe upping the scale to match.
Would they have abandoned the 8 inch format?
I'm thinking they would have changed with the times and went with all plastic figures. Maybe a few 8 inch figures released along with smaller scale lines. But I don't think full lines of just 8 inch figures would have continued.
What licenses would they have gotten?
I think A-Team and Knight Rider seems like a pretty good fit.
Would they have kept the DC and Marvel license?
I'm not sure. I think Secret Wars and Super Powers would have been done like Pocket Heroes if they did.
