General New Mego Wishlist... Characters and Properties

[VulcansFury]

Still hoping for Logan's Run, a rerelease of the television Apes line and of course classic Galactica done right.

Yes, yes, and YES! Add in Land of the Lost, Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon and I'm a happy camper!

Hellboy. Mignola is farming it out to every format, so why not this one? Lots of characters to choose from, heroes, villains, monsters. They could go really deep with this one and tap into a big fanbase.

I'd love to see Hellboy and the BPRD Megos.

Rasputin, Lobster Johnson and the Baba Yaga as Megos would be amazing.

I should caveat Walking Dead. Marty Abrams did not say he was going to do walking dead, but could.

Here are others that were mentioned

They could do comic versions to avoid likeness issues.

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, maybe just Admiral Nelson and Captain Crain for crew members and they had plenty of villains, aliens and monsters to fight, I think it would be a cool collection.

I'll second that big time! Just go ahead and do Land of the Giants, Time Tunnel and Lost in Space too!

I still think Archer would be GREAT! LOTS of great characters to choose from.

Plus I feel like Mego would be up for updating the female 8" body to fill out some of the characters better.

I'd be over the moon if they did Archer. I'd hope it would be like how their doing Star Trek right now with 4 characters per wave and maybe make them episode centric.

One property I've not ever seen mentioned that may be feasible is Image Comics. Those who grew up around the early 90s have very fond memories of Spawn, Savage Dragon, Youngblood, Shadow Hawk, Cyber Force. The long term popularity and success of those books is debatable, but many are still being published. I think Mego styled figures on some of those characters would blow up with that segment and age of collectors. Like it or not, 90s is retro and borderline vintage.

The problem with Image is that Image owns nothing so you can't license anything from Image except the Image I logo. You have to make separate deals with each creator. If you want Youngblood, you have to license it from Rob Liefeld. You want Shadowhawk, you have to make a deal with Jim Valentino. Savage Dragon-you need to talk to Erik Larsen, Cyberforce-Marc Silvestri, etc. etc. And if you want to use the Image name and logo, then you have to licence that separately from the characters. It's not one license, it's dozens. Doesn't mean it's not doable, but it makes it a lot harder and a lot more expensive because you have to cut so many different deals.

Image is more like a traditional book publisher than the other comic publishers.They publish your books and bring them to market for a fee, they do not own any of the IP they publish though. That was part of the Image revolution-creators maintaining the rights to their creations If you want to license Tolkien, you don't go to Ballantine or whomever is currently publishing the books, you go to the Tolkien estate. Image operates the same way. You want something Image publishers, you go to the creator not the publisher.
