YouTube interview with Paul "Dr. Mego" Clarke at SDCC

Its a great interview. Was that Marty's grandson in the background ringing up orders? He was fun at Mego Meet and really seemed enjoy being with his grandfather.

Doc's stuff could only be an improvement over FTC.

We can only hope. Let's remember, they are still being manufactured in China. They tend to like to say "Yes, can do" when given rush jobs or bigger orders under a tight deadline, but final product QC goes down and the targeted customer ends up staying away.

So friggin' awesome...with such friggin' awesome people. Such a wonderful time we are living in, *right now*. So exciting!! Paul is an angel

I forgot this in my first post, but I was a bit disappointed that it sounds like Mego won’t be making any pocket heroes or other 3 3/4 inch figures. That would be exciting and I think they would sell well, but I’m not running a toy company. Or, maybe that’s not the case and there are plans to make some 3 3/4 figures or the thinking will change to the favor of these. Fingers crossed.

Wow!! That was a totally awesome interview...you're the man Paul!! It's obvious Mego wouldn't even be back without you, because you refused to let it go...you didn't give up!!!☺

What I found interesting is that he referred to this first wave of figures as the "b-list" characters, and said the second wave would have a stronger mix of characters, and the third wave will be coming out close to the holidays and have the best mix of characters. And I'm thinking, "a b-list that includes Batman, Wonder Woman, Bela Lugosi, Captain Kirk, Fonzie, etc...?" I am very intrigued to see what characters will be coming in waves 2 and 3!

^Yeah, I played that back. I would think he means the Target gimme's are heavy in wave 1.
