    Marty, if you're reading this...

    Some ideas for 2019...specifically some vintage properties perfect for the Mego format that would sell really well.

    The A-Team...perfect four figure assortment for a wave. The show is still hugely popular.

    Land of the Lost...I skipped Tootie and Norm, but you better believe I'd be all over Marshall, Will, and Holly. Do a Pylon theme box set of a regular Sleestak and Enik and watch 'em fly off the shelf.

    Kolchack, the Night Stalker...no brainer, and securing Darren McGavin's likeness is pretty easy.

    The Hardy Boys...Shawn Cassidy and Parker Stevenson of course.

    Cryptids...original Mego versions of Bigfoot, Yeti, Grey, Mothman.

    Magnum P.I. ...Magnum, Higgins, Rick, and TC.

    80s cartoons. Super7 sold out of a figure of He-Man wearing a Santa hat in 15 minutes. You will not get 80s kids money with stuff like Cheers, Facts of Life and Mama's Family. You need stuff like Masters of the Universe, Thundercats, Silverhawks, Blackstar, Thundarr, Bravestarr, Ghostbusters (Real and Filmation), etc.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

      ^MOTU and Thundercats might be expensive to license, but there are plenty of other untapped properties. Thundarr would be great...also Dungeons and Dragons.

        D&D would be great. I'd love a Mego Warduke. But unfortunately I don't think Hasbro would license it out. Same with RAH GI JOE.

          I think these are excellent suggestions, much more interesting to me than sitcoms.
          WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

              I'd buy the Cryptids. I would NOT buy Land of the Lost, save for the Sleestaks. And I wouldn't buy any of the rest.

                Land of the Lost three-pack with Rick, Will, and Holly. Diorama of the entrance to the cave. That would be a great way to sell them. With a little inflatable raft accessory. Enik and two sleestaks diorama. Sleestaks sold individually for army building. I'd be into that!
                P.S. They could also make a variant three pack with Jack, Will, and Holly. Will and Holly could have different outfits, and a different accessory.

                  Kind of hoping for Lost in Space, they can always get teamed up with Star Trek in your own personal adventures.

                      V would be great. I wouldn’t say no to some A-Team figs.

                            No a 2 pack Land of the Lost.
                            One of each character and 1 sleestak.
                            That way the sell 3 two packs. And we all have at least three sleestak. Yes, yes

                              I know the first wave had a Dracula, but I think a great move would be to make a John Carradine Dracula (using Billy the Kid Vs. Dracula), and that gives a "backdoor" version of Drac from the two Universal House of... films.
