      Ali and Joe look great. Something off about Farrah. The packaging is spectacular. Just need some Trek and monster reveals

        Her face is fine, but she's got the ginormous head syndrome. Or, at least it looks like it.

        I'm definitely buying it.

            We have only seen a prototype in progress, not a completed figure. I don't think he will be in wave 4.

                    I think there is mass market for Ali, and a sizable market for Namath. Sports people are super collectors and super crazy about their stars. And the two just look great. Kids want sports toys -even if they aren't familiar with the person. Hopefully they are marketed to teh sports nuts.

                    I wonder if Farrah will fair well. Her star shone bright at her peak, but I don't know that her name and smile have stood teh test of time. Are there 10k people that want this? Maybe. It isn't like she is Tootie who was never marketable, but with an average head sculpt and a barely class, no accessory doll aimed at what audience isn't likely to fly off shelves. -or I could be dead wrong.

                      Judging from the reaction we got from fashion doll collectors, I think it may fair very well. It's easy for us to lose sight of it but there is a huge doll collecting culture out there.

                        Now it makes sense why Jill Munroe was not among the Charlie's Angels figures. They did Kris for Charlie's Angels. I'd have to see the pharah figure closer but I'm wondering if the customized Marcia figures might actually be a better sculpt of Farrah?

                          Farrah will be the first I'm hunting for in Wave 4 because my wife will flip over it.

                            I'm curious how the additional marketing into Canada will also support more accessibility for the figures. Surely, it will prove to be an even more successful Mego year. There is *much wisdom* behind this company's layers of team work, thinking processes, investment and creativity.

                            I certainly hope the female bodies' lower leg length problem was remedied for good: A barefoot figure, like Farrah, will too easily show the leg difference.
                            Moreover, I appreciate the packaging photo art and design.
                            Undoubtedly, Farrah will be a good priced 8" compliment to that Barbie release from a few years ago:

                              The Barbie had a better head sculpt but the Mego figure has better articulation. Make a nice Charlie's Angels custom for fans.

                              So, wave 4 is a celeb wave?
                              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...
