Mego Corp. Reveals at Mego Meet: Here is what we know

[MRP]

^That reveal shocked me. I spent some of the rest of the weekend wondering about the possibility of hobbits.

Does the Mego relaunch still have the tooling for the Our Gang or Munchkin bodies or something similar they could use for the smaller scale Shire folk? Or would it require an investment in new tooling for the smaller size bodies? I know Doc Mego has a kid's body for sale on his site (I bought one to use as the Kender in my Dragonlance project), but I am not sure what Mego itself has available to use. If it requires new tooling, I can see them holding off on the Hobbits themselves in the first wave and focusing on characters like Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas and Boromir in the first wave and see if initial sales warrant the investment in the new tooling.

I think tooling for the child body is available from Rusty Venture, but I suppose the neck would require added tooling

More than likely they will go the route of kids bodies that DM has approval, especially from the BBP/EMCE line. But hoping a bandless will be the future.

Only tooling on the torso so maybe feasible.

[PNGwynne]

Yep, and feet. I wonder if they could put 8" feet on a child body? Hmmmm.

I may be nuts, but I'm hoping for classic Hawaii Five-O.

Yes, I know that it will never happen, but a gal can dream, can't she?

[TrekStar]

Classic Hawaii Five-O would be great, I used to have customs of the original 4 along with Wo Fat on custom art cards from
Toyroom, got the Jack Lord sculpt from Mike Rogers, wonder if he still has it? I also had a 12" Jack Lord sculpt from an eBay seller in Hong Kong, painted it and dressed him in a dark blue three piece suit with a custom window box.

Ended up selling them off a few years back, got a nice price for them, I hated to depart from them but wanted to extend
my Star Trek customs collection and pick up an original loose Romulan at the time, so no regrets.

Any word on Col. Steve Austin and Jaime Sommers?

Thanks for the info-lots of exciting stuff!

I would be in for classic Hawaii Five-O. One of my favorite shows of all time.
