General New Mego Wishlist... Characters and Properties

[EmergencyIan]

^ It’s different, though. That’s because even though the specific movie is in the public domain, it’s still a version of the classic werewolf that we all know. Because of that, it sells. It sells in spite of being in the public domain.

I would love to see:
CHiPs: Ponch and Jon
Greatest American Hero: Ralph Hinkley in costume
MacGyver: Angus MacGyver and Murdoc
Action Jackson: Kung Fu outfit (white jumpsuit/black belt/slippers)
Mr. T
Grizzly Adams
Star Trek: Salt Vampire and Vina
Buck Rogers (several characters): Buck, Wilma, Twiki/Dr. Theopolis, Hawk, Tigerman, and Ardala.
The Monkees
Logan's Run (TV): Logan, Jessica, Rem, and Francis.

Here’s my 2¢

I’d love to see the return of the Planet of the Apes Megos, both repros and new characters (including Taylor, Nova, Mutants, Ape-O-Nauts, I can go on for pages….)
BUT apparently EMCE’s and NECA’s lines did not sell, so this one is doubtful

Space:1999. Man oh man, would I love to replace my Figures Toy Company collection with actual Megos….
And while we are doing Space:1999, why not Gerry Anderson’s U.F.O.


Batman. The 1966-1969 television show. I have yet to pull the trigger on the Figures Toy Company versions. They have gone pretty deep, even making Henchmen now. The only thing keeping me from buying them all is the price. Now, $12.99 at Target ? I would be all over them!

Six Million Dollar Man/Bionic Woman
Flash Gordon (1980 movie)
James Bond
All need to happen; they are perfect properties for the Mego format

I would love to see these remade:
World’s Greatest Knights - or even better: the movie Excalibur
World’s Greatest Pirates
Robin Hood


Logan’s Run. Always wanted these Megos that were never made

And I would buy all of the following, before I would spend a penny on Charmed, Facts of Life, Full House, Happy Days, Married with Children, Brady Bunch nor Cheers:

Classic Battlestar Galactica
Classic Lost In Space
Back To The Future
The Munsters
The Addams Family
Get Smart
Fantasy Island Mr Roark and Tatoo 2 pack
NASA Astronauts
Land of the Lost (although all I would buy are the Sleestack)
Elvira Mistress of the dark
M*A*S*H
V
Alien Nation
Gilligan's Island

[Liu Bei]

For re-releases, I'd like to see Mego reacquire the rights to do:

DC superheroes (if/when FTC no longer has those rights)
Marvel Superheroes (if/when DST no longer has those rights, if they still do)
Planet of the Apes
Conan

For new licenses of classic properties, ones I'd like to see:

The X-Files
Kolchak: the Night Stalker
Ghostbusters
Star Wars (pipe dream, of course)
Rocky
Red Sonja
The Six Million Dollar Man
Dark Shadows
The Prisoner
James Bond
Doctor Who
The Shadow
Miami Vice
Knight Rider
Hammer Horrors' Dracula (and Van Helsing), Frankenstein (and his Monster), the Mummy, and the Curse of the Werewolf

I'd also like to see (though I seriously doubt it will happen) Mego branch out and tackle some properties that go outside there wheelhouse, with a Battle Royale line, or something based on Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

I like a lot of the potentials listed here, but I’d really love to see Magnum PI Classic and the new gang! Also I know my daughters would like to see “A League of Their Own” and “The Sand Lot” Megos.

More Monsters please. Nosferatu, Rondo Hatton, Tor Johnson, the Hideous Sun Demon, Monster on the Campus, etc.

[palitoy]

More Monsters please. Nosferatu, Rondo Hatton, Tor Johnson, the Hideous Sun Demon, Monster on the Campus, etc.

I really hope that they've figured out that the monsters sell.

[Werewolf]

I'd love some 80s stuff like Silverhawks and Sectaurs but I know we'd have a better chance of getting more 70s sitcoms like Makin' it, Fish and Angie.

[VulcansFury]

I really hope that they've figured out that the monsters sell.

Not at my store. They have a greeter at the front trying to hand out Dracula's, Frankensteins and Werewolfs to make room for more of the constantly-selling-out Tooties, Norms and Alices.

Honestly, I will be disappointed if we don't get a Nosferatu, and I would hope they would go the extra mile and give him new hands with creepy long fingers. And I would love to see them do new, original tooling for a Metropolis Maria.

For Lost In Space, I just picked up the DST light-up Robot figure. He's super cool, and maybe a smidge big (looks like a Mego could fit inside like the actor, but stands *maybe* a half-inch too tall? Not the biggest LIS fan to tell). REALLY hoping DST gets their Robby The Robot figure out soon (I don't think they've even shown it, only announced)

Forbidden Planet - a MUST! Needs accessories like the crew's pistol and rifle, would buy Robbie again even if DST makes one


Land of the Lost - SLEESTAKS! Would buy the entire family plus Chaka as well, plus could re-use Roy Harpers head for Uncle Jack. Palitoy can even build his avatar in plastic


Planet of the Apes - NEED both rereleases and new versions/characters. I missed the EMCE releases, and loved the NECA stuff. But I know the $12.99 price will be more successful than EMCE's $35 years ago. I want all the classic movies and TV show characters


Logans Run - TV and Movie. Bonus if they do that sweet TV car.


Star Trek - More, more, MORE! Tons of TOS and TNG, even DS9. Movies also a must.


More monsters, more aliens, more creature designs! Wouldn't mind a generic Pirate line.

[thunderbolt]

I really hope that they've figured out that the monsters sell.

Monsters Trek and rock stars seem to be the hits. Cheers did ok too. A lot of the rest hangs around, AJ and Alice are still on pegs at my not so local Target.

[Liu Bei]

More Monsters please. Nosferatu, Rondo Hatton, Tor Johnson, the Hideous Sun Demon, Monster on the Campus, etc.

The Monster Squad would kill it, getting you as close to Universal Monsters as possible without having to pay the hefty licensing fees.

Hammer Horror would be great as well.

Robin and Aquaman

What he said!! Classic versions too.

[danadoll]

Does anybody think we'll get a Marcy Darcy for the Married With Children Line?

Dana

It would be nice if all the characters were made, Al Peggy, Kelly and Bud,
As well as Marcy and Jefferson.......AND STEVE RHOADES TOO !!!!

Paint Jefferson's hair blonde and you can have Roger Phillips from the post Ron Howard seasons of Happy Days!!!

[filmation batman fan]

Here's a thought. How about the Fall Guy? The head scult of Lee Majors from when the series began, that figure could also double for Steve Austin from the final season of Six Million Dollar Man.
