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...Comment

I don't mean to be gloomy and I think the majority of licenses will be a huge success. I just think some choices like, Cheers or Firefly, won't be as strong of sellers as other.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

Is there some doubt now about the SyFy story? Something about Paul leaving a comment on the story questioning it?Comment

It's not just the Reaction stuff. Funko's Game of Thrones and Firefly Legacy figures, which had very well done modern sculpts and articulation, moved slowly even on heavy discount. Even as popular as the shows are their figures didn't really move. Unlike the Funko Golden Girls figures which sold crazy good and are worth a ton on the secondary market, go figure.Comment

I agree we should wait it out and see what happens they could be a run away hit with people kicking themselves because they passed on it when they first saw them.Comment

1. Firefly is awesome.
2. Even though it is not a show to the Mego era, I think Firefly's fan base might really respond to Mego figures. Sometimes it is about finding the right format for the property (and executing on it, of course).
3. Did you see that "I Dream of Jeanie" packaging!?!? Clever, collector-friendly packaging could go along way to selling some of these properties.
4. If other people don't want these, then: Awesome, more for me!Comment

I think these will be amazing.
DC Legends of Tomorrow would be a great choice.
I'd like them to get a license for Highlander: The Series. I just realized that I want a Methos Mego along with a few other Immortals.Comment

I am very happy for the news of Wizard of Oz. I hope they make the Flying Monkeys and the Guards. If they have the same quality of the original Mego ones, they can be a great sales success - as can be seen by the great reception here.
In relation to the Munchkins, I would prefer that they do them in true Mego style, with the child body (which EMCE already has of its excellent Twilight Zone line).
And, in relation to the seven main characters, I would like if they improve the head of the Cowardly Lion, the only one that I think has not the same level of likeness. At least I hope they reverse his face-hair paint scheme.
Oh, as JediJaida said, it would be great if they improve the Witch's shoes, or put her socks on.
In any case, I´m very grateful for making them again!Comment

The show explores the lives of a group of people, some of whom fought on the losing side of a civil war, who make a living on the fringes of society as part of the pioneer culture of their star system. In this future, the only two surviving superpowers, the United States and China, fused to form the central federal government, called the Alliance, resulting in the fusion of the two cultures. According to Whedon's vision, "nothing will change in the future: technology will advance, but we will still have the same political, moral, and ethical problems as today".[2]
Firefly premiered in the U.S. on the Fox network on September 20, 2002. By mid-December, Firefly had averaged 4.7 million viewers per episode and was 98th in Nielsen ratings.[3] It was canceled after eleven of the fourteen produced episodes were aired. Despite the relatively short life span of the series, it received strong sales when it was released on DVD and has large fan support campaigns.[4][5] It won a Primetime Emmy Award in 2003 for Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Series. TV Guide ranked the series at No. 5 on their 2013 list of 60 shows that were "Cancelled Too Soon".[6]
The post-airing success of the show led Whedon and Universal Pictures to produce Serenity, a 2005 film which continues from the story of the series,[4] and the Firefly franchise expanded to other media, including comics and a role-playing game.[7][8]
the story was continued in the movie Serenity, which was actually my introduction to the show. it's a great show, mix of western and sci fi, great characters and cast. you should give it a shotComment
