    No Firefly figures are being made.

      I had already thought of that but hoping mego expands to trek movies era. That has barely ever been touched except by playmates and that wasn't a great product. in my opinion.

        Firefly is the big winner here, but again, late to the punch as Funko already did a ReAction line and 6 inch figures. So I think the power of that line won't be as strong as it could, because regular action figure fans already have formats they're more comfortable with.

        WoZ seems to be tapping into the Oz Collector market and maybe that's a plus? I dunno. It's cool cause it's an old Mego property but I'm not sure how much power it has these days.

        Charmed might work as sort of an oddball item targeted at 30 something females. But where will these figures set? I sure hope not in the boys toy aisle.

        New Mego seems to be ClassicTVToys, lol.

        Right now almost everything seems to be aimed at the older adult non-toy collector. The same sort of people that Exclusive Premiere targeted back in the day. I sure hope there's a market for it.

          We have only been told that Firefly is not part of the launch. I'm still hoping the retraction is a sign that they jumped the gun and announced it too early, rather than it isn't happening all together.

            Same here, of all the licenses, next to Trek, that’s the one I was most psyched for.

                The only originals I think could have been improved were the Lion and Dorothy, and the latter only in the headsculpt; the rest of the line was pretty much the pinnacle of Mego costuming and design. I think simply re-doing what they did for the most part would be fine for that property.

                  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.
                  I'm all in for a White Canary / Sara Lance figure!
                  She's my favorite!

                  Just read in the other thread that SyFy either accidentally announced Firefly or confused it with something else.
                  So if no Firefly, does that also mean no Wizard of Oz or Charmed?
                  There are so many threads now that I'm confused what Mego is actually releasing.

                    The official word should come out on Friday at Comic Con. Not too long to wait now.

                      I think Oz is a very good bet; it would be a solid companion to Trek from Mego's heyday, and is perennially popular from generation to generation.

                        I am confused, as well. I would welcome Wizard of Oz, but they are fairly inexpensive for the original figures, I guess first time buyers might bite. 14 inch is too large a scale for me to collect. I am very excited about the I Dream of Jeanie set. I would not be interested in Firefly or Charmed, not really familiar with those shows, besides I doubt they would be in the 8 inch scale. Star Trek is great but I am hoping for some new characters, I am willing to support the line and buy some reproductions as long as new characters are coming. I bought Sulu from EMCE. I wonder if Gorn will have any changes. I just need something new to keep me interested. I am hoping Mego will consider both new buyers and long time collectors, like me.

                          She would be a good figure! That would be pretty cool-looking.

                            Do we see "Full House"? Did I miss that being mentioned here on the forum?

                              Nice catch. I'd hadn't seen Full House mentioned before.
