    So is EMCE over?

    With Mego now back in stores, is EMCE done? There has been no new announcements, licenses, or product launches.is this a done thing? Is the EMCE Era over?

    If so, I'm a little sad. I didn't buy a LOT of EMCE items, but they were ALL very high quality. Some of the very best in the era of the ReMego.

    They make other types of products and are still in business. I recently purchased some of their FallOut figures for my son this Christmas.

    At a recent horror convention I saw tons of their zombie stuff too.

    The Museum has no longer enjoys any communication so you won't hear anything about them here but they are actively making merch.

      I would assume that they/he is out of the Mego style for as long as Mego Corporation lasts.

        They've actually pitched some Mego scaled stuff but we never get any notice of it, it just sort of appears or disappears.

          oh, I figured with Doc's involvement in Mego he'd have to not compete or something like that. Did the army men Universal Monsters ever come out? I was really wanting that.

            Hmm. I was mostly asking about Mego style stuff. But this is some food for thought. It seems to be in a restructuring, and the breaking of communications seems to indicate that.

            I wish them luck, but hope they don't move their output outside my areas of interest.

              Ironically, I really like some of the stuff they're making and hope they do more. I still purchase their product.

              While things were often taciturn I never took it personally until I got a clear message our communicating days were over around the time of the mego announcement. I always supported and promoted their endeavours, so I think that bridge burn is underserved.

              Not surprising but undeserved.

                It didn't come out, neither did the amazing UM lunch box they designed.

                You know, I'd love to see the average of toys DST shows vs what they honestly get to market.

                  BTW latest Mego Scaled figure, had we been notified of this it would have been actively promoted. I can't understate how nice it is to work with Mego Corp and FTC these days...

                        I'm confused or naive or both: Isn't Emce affiliated with DM? Or is it part of DST? I guess I don't grasp why Emce has become standoffish.

                          EMCE is a seperate entity from DST although they do seem to work closely. DM was part of it last time I checked and we're just dandy, so I'm not trying to imply any of this is coming from him. None of it is, he's great.

                          I honestly don't know why this occurred but message received.

                              Also, likely a short sighted decision on their part. Gee, who needs free promotion?
