Marty, if you're reading this...

I normally wouldn't advocate this type of zombie, but what about a zombie using some of DM's earlier Build-a-Zombie parts?

[Brue]

Spaceballs

[doink1]

how about

mork and mindy two pack
Love Boat
fantasy island two pack

[newlyknighted]

More monsters, cryptids, Sleestaks, V, and Beastmaster please! Throw in a whole bunch of X-files as well.

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.

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

My blather from a few weeks ago:

My fantasy of how to successfully pull off a properly deep Land of the Lost line: How do you get a Chaka produced? How do you thwart the potential warmer status of Marshall, Will and Holly? 3-packs!

Sleestak, Will, Holly
Enik, Marshall, Chaka

Each pack has one of the lizard folks that would surely be the Trek/Monster sell-outs of the wave, and each has a character on the yet-to-debut child-sized body; potentially saving the manufacturer a few pennies of actual production cost per set. The debut box gets us die-hards those audience identifier kids from the show, while supplying that sweet, sweet Sleestak action that so many more have craved, and the second set has the double-whammy of two creature dollies, so all our rugged Father Figure has to do is relax and come along for the ride.

Dino diorama for set one, obviously, and a cave with the crystal console depicted would be the natural pick for the sequel set.

I think that idea sucks...
No Enik? No Jack?

[PNGwynne]

Marshall, Will, Holly, Chaka, Enik, & 3 sleestaks. Perfect.

[Type3Toys]

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.

This is a fantastic list! For me, lines that interest me are characters I would have played with as a kid, or would play with if I was a kid now. I could easily see myself going to a friend's house and play Night Stalker, A Team or monsters. No chance of ever playing Brady Bunch, Cheers or Facts of life.

But aren't the choices up to Target? I think that's who we have to ask on what should be made.

[Hedji]

I like the idea of doing older toy properties, but I'm completely ignorant as to the challenges of securing such licenses.

[Moxen]

80s kid here! I second MOTU, GIJOE RAH & Ghostbusters! How about Indiana Jones?

Or....

MONTY PYTHON MEGOS!

Holy Grail with
ARTHUR, King of the Britons (I didn't vote for you!)
LANCELOT, the Brave! (With the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch)
SIR BELVEDERE (How do you know she is a witch?)
KILLER RABBIT, with Mangeled Knight Corpse
THE BLACK KNIGHT ('Tis but a scratch!)
THE BRIDGEKEEPER (What! Is the capitol of Assyria?)
FILTHY PEASANT (Come see the violence inherent in the system! Help! Help! I'm being repressed!)
Dead Ringer, w/cart (Bring out yer dead!)
Multi pack: SIR ROBIN and his Merry Minstrals (Bravely running away)

Maybe the Romans from Life of Brian, but I'd really like to see some Centurion/Roman soldiers in general.
PONTIUS PILOT (Vewy well! We shall wewease Bwyan!)
BIGGUS DICKUS (Friend of Pilot)

Maybe some figures from notable sketches, like John Cleese with Dead Parrot.

Also would be cool with no licenses needed:

Ancient Warriors
Roman soldiers/Centurions/chariots
Greek Hoplites
Egyptian soldiers/chariots
Celts
Carthage
Persia
China
War machines

Figures of Myth
Animal headed Egyptian gods
Greek gods, Zeus/Aphrodite/Hades
Actual Biblical Megos

Edit: Need more musician ideas?

DETHKLOK, from the Adult Swim cartoon Metalacolypse

Skisgar Skwigelf (taller than a tree)
Toki Wartooh (not a bumblebee)
Murderface (Muderface, Murderface, Murderface)
Pickles (the drummer, doodely doo)
Nathan Explosion
Offdensen
Dr Rockso (The rock and roll clown)

Do regular versions and another set with their makeup on!

I don’t know what they should make except I think that it should be something that has some action/adventure play value. It also seems the more DC figures the better. I think most ages can instantly identify with them. Of course, make more monsters and Trek as they seem to sell very well and are quite popular within this community. I think the only MUST avoid are non-licensed properties. Mego says that’s on thier avoid list, last I heard.

Help me with this, though, after the end of this year, doesn’t Target lose say and exclusivities to Mego? Or has that changed? If Target is still the exclusive seller once 2019 commences, how much longer will that contract last? I may have missed a memo along the way. It’s great to have Target as a major seller, but I think it would be better to have more options...both for Mego and us. Then again, they know business and I don’t. I’m not sure how much tougher it is to pull off an action figure business, these days. However, my guess is that it’s exponentially more difficult.

I agree.. forget the licenses...

Pirates
Astronauts
Fireman
Knights
Military from the world

This would be more appealing to the masses... and kids... that’s the point right? The way this is running now it looks to be fruit dying on the vine.

Generic figures would sell

[doink1]

i’ve mentioned this to doc before...

when we were kids, the nfl came out with 8 inch figures called NFL Action Teammates. You could buy your favorite team and customize him with the stickers/numbers. I know the NFL is an expensive license... These would sell like crazy. caucasian and african american figures too.

check out Pro Sports Marketing action teammates on ebay. these figures sell for big money now. They even have a field with goal posts
