More Mego Licenses Announced! Firefly, Charmed and Wizard of Oz coming soon!
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...
They would do FULL HOUSE over doing MASH? Has the world gone insane (or is the MASH licensing fee just too high)?
sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.
Well Full House has more of an audience and potential to sell than MASH.
That said, I don't think either of those licenses are particularly good for Mego or anything in the current market. So it's like, the more successful failure.
I really do wish the new Mego well... But I am seriously starting to question the direction and wondering if this will have any legs at retail. As I feared when the early rumors started, what good licenses could they get or would they be stuck getting a bunch of oddball things... And it certainly seems like more and more oddball things are popping up. Will it work? I guess we'll see.
Mego seems to be doing what they did in the 70's making old tv shows instead of more
superheroes. I don't think Target shoppers are into Full house Megos but I could be wrong.
Most of their stuff is outdated like Joe Namoth and it seems like Figures has been doing
old shows like Happy Days, Space 1999, and Married with children( with limited success )but what really sells better is DC, Batman, Hanna Barbara and Kiss. Gilligans Island not so much
I’m waiting for more stuff like HBO, Showtime and Netflix Originals and other popular shows. Westworld, Game of Thrones, Orange is the New Black, Twin Peaks, Lost in Space, Bright, Shanarah Chronicles, Super Natural, Hemlock Grove, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, etc.

Westworld would be awesome, loved season 1. Humans would be rad too.
I think it's helpful to keep in mind, as said at Mego Meet and here, Target requested certain licenses.
I agree, that is important. We might not be seeing a good sampling of Mego's long term plans here, just what Target wants up front while they have the exclusive.

But it has been said before Target chose those licences and Paid in advance there for they were a complete sell out. Now if they dont sell its on Target not MEGO.
