I think it would be great if we got Megos of “The Honeymooners”. We need this and I’d also love to get Jackie Gleason as Buford T. Justice from “Smokey and the Bandit”.

OK I'm not as familiar as others here but here's the line I think alot of people want and maybe putting odds of them happening (And NO not personal opinion I want REAL odds.)I'm not putting obscure lines that they might get I want to see the odds on the heavy hitters: (Even though these are MY favorites to be in the new Mego)

Star Wars
Marvel
DC
Battlestar Galactica
Buck Rogers
Planet Of The Apes
Aliens/Predator/Robocop/Terminator (Are these at NECA?)
Golden Age Superheroes
Airwolf (I always wanted these in MEGO form)
Ghostbusters/Real Ghostbusters (I don't think Mattel has the 8" format anymore)
Green Hornet (1960's TV Show)
MOTU/Thundercats
Dungeon's & Dragons
Walking Dead
Night Of The Living Dead & Other Romero Films
Conan (More than FTC has)
V

I just need to find out real chances are this might happen and feel free to add lines I might have forgotten this isn't a "Wish list" just some of the lines that we MIGHT get and the chances...

Madcap wanted to discuss the properties listed above, not create another wishlist thread.

Neil Diamond and Tom Jones

Somewhere I guess we confused this thread with the other wishlist thread. Lol

I’m honestly surprised that nobody has grabbed the license for “V” and created a toy line. The action figures showed in the TV series was the envy of every kid on the playground back in 3rd grade and urban legends of the rich kid at school having a set at home abounded! I don’t know if these would meet with the same success today that they might have at an earlier point. (The new TV series a few years back didn’t last.) The iconic red uniforms and symbolism behind fascist reptiles from outer space in the classic series might resonate better with audiences of today as the series’s content mirrors many of the headlines today.

If we're taking requests, I'd like to see a line based on Get Smart.

[Your pal, Jim]

Honestly, I think they should go after some costumed superheroes. If DC and Marvel aren't available, they need to pursue a few colorful independent characters. Things that kids might see on the shelf and THINK they're somehow related to Batman and Spiderman. Stuff that has a fanbase and would be bought, but also has some limited scope of mainstream appeal.

Totally agree with this, bring on the costumed super-heroes! Green Hornet, The Shadow, and The Lone Ranger; some classic Public Domain characters like Stardust The Super Wizard, Black Terror, and Daredevil; and some newer characters like Madman, Grendel, Nexus, and The Rocketeer...

[Your pal, Jim]

Maybe a couple rare original Megos could get a redo: Zorro & The Greatest American Hero!

Some other suggestions - The Tick, Flash Gordon, Doc Savage, Electra Woman & Dyna Girl... oh, and Reid Fleming, World's Toughest Milkman!

I need to know what Mego is planning before I buy into this new line. I have no desire for one-offs here and there. I want to know - to the extent possible - that things started will not be forgotten.

I thought mattel had the rights to Thundercats?

So Powercon is this weekend and the rights for Thundercats are sorta cleared up. Mattel is trying to continue with their line, but so is Bandai. WB is apparently all-in on the practice of cracking licenses (ala FTC 8-inch v Mattel v Mego 14-inch), which opens up some room for Mego.

Interesting.

What about A-Team? That seems a perfect fit for "TV favorites" and I don't believe it has been done in a while...

[greensavage2000]

well, there's the Phantom, Lone Ranger, Green Hornet, the Shadow, Doc Savage. Hellboy's kid appropriate on your list. Then there are the Archie Heroes that they are reviving, vintage public domain characters like the Black Terror, Grim Reaper, etc.

All good suggestions. I'd love a Doc Savage line. As far as superheroes go how about Invincible, Nexus, Zot, classic Magnus Robot Fighter, and some of the other Valiant characters.

I'd dig any of your suggestions. Reid would be great but I'd want his milk truck too.

Madcap; just my opinions based upon your list and some things that Paul Clarke has stated both here and on the Mego ambassador's FB page...

Star Wars - won't happen. That's Hasbro
Marvel - won't happen. That's Hasbro, and as Paul stated, one 8" Marvel Mego would have to be $80, which won't sell at retail
DC - we'll see, could happen in the future
Battlestar Galactica - good chance, as Bif Bang Pow did a couple of series that did not end up selling well, but these were not at retail price-points
Buck Rogers - this would be good, especially since Mego did the 12" and 3 3/4" figures back in 1979. Would be down the line, I think, and possibly 2-3 figures
Planet Of The Apes - I'm thinking this a definite YES after the Target waves due to the fact that they were done by Paul Clarke/EMCE (as was Star Trek).
Aliens/Predator/Robocop/Terminator (Are these at NECA?) - would depend on retail viability and working with the studio rights
Golden Age Superheroes - this is a good idea and possible "back door" for 8" Mego superhero figures. Many are in public domain now. I think figures from AC Comics would be do-able as well, as most of them are public domain from the golden age or based upon golden age characters
Airwolf (I always wanted these in MEGO form)
Ghostbusters/Real Ghostbusters (I don't think Mattel has the 8" format anymore) - not sure on the rights for these, as they figures for the new female cast movie were out in stores less than 2 years ago....
Green Hornet (1960's TV Show) - I think this a fair chance
MOTU/Thundercats - no idea on this one. While fairly popular in the mid-to-late 1980s, the revived series in 2011 did not do well. Rankin-Bass did the production on the 1980s series.
Dungeon's & Dragons - are we speaking of the hit cartoon series from the 1980s? If so, would depend upon naming rights from TSR and whoever owns the rights now to the images.
Walking Dead - not sure if this is suitable for retail. Seems like more suitable for the specialty market (comic stores, etc.) due to the nature and content of the series
Night Of The Living Dead & Other Romero Films - see above
Conan (More than FTC has) - does Marvel still own the rights to publish, or has that passed back to Robert E. Howard's estate?
V - this could be a later possibility, with possibly a 3-character series (as per New Mego Cheers, etc.) such as Mark Singer's character, Diana, and lizard alien?
