I don't know I will agree with the other poster here I have a feeling the retailer is most likely EE. which means the figures could be anything? I don't see Walmart or Target wanting to carry a "nitch" market item. Maybe Target in their "collector" section but IDK. And I think we can rule out Star Wars (Hasbro has the license) Star Trek (McFarlane has the “master toy license” whatever that means) Marvel (Hasbro has the license) Micronauts (Marvel owns them now not just a license). Now maybe they could get away with “retro” figures but not sure if they would sell you know at EE they might be a little more then if they were at say Walmart. I like many would love them to make more figures that would fit in with our collections to make them bigger IE Apes or Buck Rogers, but I think we will have to wait and see what happens. Personally, to be a big player again they will have to hit new licenses that will or could alienate the fan base.

The Orville maybe? That would be a fun way for Mego to relaunch. Also thinking if the new stuff is aimed towards we adult age collectors, then the FXX series Archer would also be an interesting license.

I would be so down with Orville figures......awwww hell yes that would make too much sense to ever be true

[Werewolf]

Thundercats and Silverhawks! Yeah, I know, it's not gonna happen. It would be super cool though.

I would love to see a Mego Secret Wars line if they can get the Marvel license.

[EmergencyIan]

They said the first wave of figures needs to be very well received. For that to happen, it’s going to have to be figures that have very broad appeal. To me, that means something along the lines of Marvel or Star Wars. It doesn’t have to be those specifically but something with the same broad appeal.

While the original Micronauts are not possible I'd love to see the Marvel Comics version

[classicgalacticalover]

I know I have not been commenting for quite some time now, but I really would love to see Mego tackle the classic Battlestar Galactica license and really do it the justice it deserves. It is the 40th anniversary anyway and Mego I belive would do a great job. They could even do adventure sets for the figures like their artic gear from "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero" instead of doing variations. Also would love to see Mego do classic Lost in Space, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Land of the Giants and Time Tunnel.

[Teemu]

Don't know why they haven't made The Walking Dead Mego's yet

[JediJaida]

I'd be happy to see a Classic Dracula series, with all of the portrayals.
From Lugosi, to Lee, to Langella, to the newest guy. Just skip over Nosferatu and all of the ugly ones.

[tmthor]

Don't know why they haven't made The Walking Dead Mego's yet

Because McFarlane toys has the license most likely

[Jason73]

I remember on an old Mego Museum podcast episode (remember those?) Doc Mego saying that Lego would block any attempt to rebrand the name Mego as a toy due to it's similar sound/spelling. Has this been resolved?

[Psykodelik Vampyre]

I'd also like to see musicians like The Beatles (in all their different eras), Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, etc. done in a 8-inch Mego form.

I believe Marty commented on that and said it had been resolved

[wise guy]

With no Toys r us, I don't see how these would sell at retail Mego name, or not. The original
Mego T-2 body was much better than the Emce bodies , and Marvel liscence of
80.00 a figure( that Diamond stated) is an issue. I hope this works out and not more
Waltons, Starsky and Hutch,Cavemen,Robinhood etc. I would like a bunch of new
Mad Monsters but Figures might have the rights to those

The monsters would be fine due to public domain
