I'm speculating we'll finally get that "Chaney Entertainment" Mummy (with the original EMCE prototype head sculpt).
That "original EMCE prototype head sculpt" turned out to be a bit of an embarrassment for EMCE, as I remember. It was cast from an AHI head without the knowledge that AHI's heads were in their turn cast from the Aurora heads. So it's a third-hand Bill Lemon Mummy! Beyond that hurdle, that version of the Mummy is Universal's and legally actionable, I believe. A one-eyed Mummy is like a Frankenstein's Monster with bots in his neck, a Drac with a medallion, or a white streak running up either side of a pale woman's blown-out beehive hairdo: Universal property.
The pre-transformed into a Screaming Werewolf Mummy might fit the bill, and maybe a brush up on Chaney Jr's turn in that episode of Route 66 where he dresses up as a Mummy could inform it and still give us a pretty cool Chaney Jr. Mummy.
I think a regular Uhura will be in wave four. I'm really confident she's going to be the next Trek offering.
I wouldn't bet against that, I would assume Dr. McCoy too. I remember years ago Paul showed me a Mugato in a furry suit that he pitched to Diamond, would love to see that.

I have never seen a Universal Studios bible with Kharis as the ip, and the last time they had anything licensed with him was Hasbro 20 years ago.
It's an interesting dilemma. If they call it "Lon Chaney's Mummy" then they can't use the Kharis Aurora mold. If they make it a generic Mummy ala "Marty Abrams presents Mego's Mummy" then they could.
All they would have to do is reverse which eye is shut and not fold the arm to the chest.
I was just wondering. Since Marty said that Muhammad Ali would be coming out in April, does that mean he's in wave 4 and we have to wait until April for wave 4?
^I automatically thought it meant Ali was wave 5. Can't remember which interview it was but Marty said something like they had the next 20 months planned out. Wouldn't wave 5 kind of make sense on new properties showing up since Married with Children, Charmed, Facts of Life, and maybe Charlie's Angels should be done by then.
I'm curious if come January, February, March the first 3 waves 8 inchers will be clearanced down to $5-7.50 permanently just to finally get rid of all of the ones that didn't sell out yet before Wave 4. Back during the Summer I wouldn't have imagined that most of the Megos only sold when they were at a discounted price. Could have saved a lot of money by waiting until now to buy almost all of them (or later). I do like that Wave 2 and 3 have better quality control and less errors and sloppiness than Wave 1. It was like they really hurried (and were behind) to make a deadline on Wave 1.
