I was just thinking today of how cool it would be to see Elvis figures from the new Mego. I would buy any versions they make.Comment

I'd have to re-read it, but my memory is telling me that the names were used earlier in their first Marvel comic. My memory has been known to be wrong on occasion though...Comment

Some folks are a little bent out of shape over that swap. I've gotten several missives over social media with stuff like "THE BAND HAS NAMES!". I take it that some of the fans are slightly disenfranchised with the current direction of the brand?
I mean it's not FTC or Mego have any choice in that mantra, that comes right from KISS itself.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

Some people just like to complain and look for any excuse to do it. If you are a Kiss fan, you can go into Target and buy $15 Kiss figures right off the pegs. If you are a Mego fan, Mego just got a high profile license with a massive fan base to mass market. There's really no downside.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

Maybe the snare drum and stand as a nod to the cut-outs on the back of the original 12" figures.
As for the names, I've never really been bothered by it. Like many people, I prefer KISS' music from the 70s with the original lineup. But I feel bad for the new guys because they're just employees doing their job. I think Eric Singer is an awesome drummer. At this point, he's been the drummer for KISS for more time than Peter Criss. Plus, before joining KISS, Eric played with Lita Ford, Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, and The Cult, so it's not like he hasn't paid his dues. Fans want KISS in their makeup, so Gene and Paul decided to have the band put the makeup on again. Then fans complain because it's two different guys wearing Ace and Peter's makeup, but that's who's in the band now. I think in the end, Gene and Paul are trying to give the fans what they want, but you can't please everyone. And honestly, if someone isn't not going to buy the new albums and merch because of who's in the band now, then that person isn't really KISS' target audience anyway.Nostalgia just ain’t what it used to be.Comment

Ultimately I don’t give a crap about any of this crap, lol. I just want to see good photos of them to see if their good lookin’ and lookin’ like they should be good!Comment

Could do a sort of Marvel Legends style "Build a Drum Kit" packaging. Each figure comes with their guitars and a piece of Catman/Peter's drum kit.Comment
