    Firefly, Charmed and Wizard of Oz

    EDIT: No Firefly

    I hadn't seen Firefly, Charmed or Wizard of Oz mentioned in the other press releases.

    From http://www.syfy.com/syfywire/mego-to...-trek-and-more

    Mego Corp., the company that innovated some of the earliest cross-merchandising action figure toys for cartoon, comics, and pop culture fans throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, is launching a new line of figures based on characters from DC, Star Trek, Firefly, Charmed, The Wizard of Oz, and more beginning this October.
    I will be all over the Firefly figures and hope they extend the Wizard of Oz to include flying monkeys!

      Thanks for the heads up! I wonder if MEGO can reissue original MGM movie Wizard of Oz 8" figures? Time-Warner owns MGM but also DC who MEGO is making 14" figures of. Original MEGO Oz figures were beautiful enough with excellent likenesses for re-issues! MGM movie 80th anniversary in 2019! My sister had all MEGO Oz figures and Emerald City playset but not rare Sears Witch's Castle or Munchikins. I want those rereleased, too! Flying monkeys and green skinned witch's soldiers!

      I know Charmed 3 beautiful actresses. Still not familiar with Firefly, but both are good licenses.

      The MEGO news keeps coming!

        Funny, in the top 10 video at the bottom of the page they use the Mego Meet DR Chromedome not the original.
        Better late than never.....

            If they do Oz again, I hope they redo those stupid pointy toed shoes that thw Wicked Witch wore. Put her in a respectable pair of low heeled pumps.

                      I think it is cool that they are doing Firefly, because I think it is a property they would have done if the show existed back then. Though they would probably be 3 3/4". So far I am definitely on board with those, Star Trek and maaaybee Wizard of Oz. Everything else announced remains to be seen. Exciting times!

                        I'm guessing this may help with the sales of the Wizard of Oz stuff. http://www.yellowbrickroadcasino.com/ I know they don't have the figures there........yet.

                          I've seen some clever Oz customs here over the years. Mike Oz did some terrific figures from the Kansas portion of the film.

                          I'd love to see new line succeed and grow. Like many, I'd especially like to see Nikko the flying monkey commander (on a child body).
                          I think they could also do a few from the books, too--the Nome King, Jack Pumpkinhead, perhaps the Patchwork Girl, Ozma, T.E Wogglebug. Those would expand the line nicely.
                          WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

                            I have been informed by someone at mego that Firefly isn't in this launch. I don't know why Syfy mentioned it...

                              Look like Syfy is doing a mea culpa, as here is what they are saying today:

                              Though the exact figures coming haven't been revealed, Mego did announce that Star Trek, DC Comics, and I Dream of Jeannie would be among those available in the first wave. Additionally, a very special 50th-anniversary version of Joe Namath will be for sale, and "Broadway" Joe will be on hand to sign figures at the show. Three waves are planned for the remainder of this year, with 8-inch, 14-inch, and 8-inch two-packs as part of the launch. Sadly, the full figure breakdown (aside from those in the teaser images) won't be divulged until Mego's SDCC panel on July 20.
                              From http://www.syfy.com/syfywire/awesome...-toys-are-here

                              Can't wait for the SDCC to get the full details.
