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...
I could definitely go for Mego Adams Family figures. They should have made a spin-off show called, “I Love Lurch” he could get in innocent predicaments like Lucy did.
Very excited to be able to watch this on over-the-air TV again! Visually, I love the Munsters, but the Addams Family's humor was smarter and more devilish. I think the actual show has aged better, overall.
I've always considered Thing as an accessory for Lurch or Cousin Itt, Mego-wise.
One plan might be two-packs with appropriate backgrounds: exterior, parlor, conservatory, playroom, Pugsley's bedroom.
At any rate, it would be an ambitious project, not seen since the release of the original OZ figures. I think it's possible to release four figures a year and no need for new tooling, but is that viable for Mego Corp? Horror and nostalgia seem to be selling well, but it's a big commitment if it's even possible or desired and previous sitcom efforts don't make me optimistic.

I share your reluctance, although I think the appeal of The Addams Family is much broader than the previous sitcom efforts due to the crossover of horror & nostalgia. The Distinctive Dummies issues sold fast and are fetching $$$ on the secondary market in merely a few months time. Hopefully someone with some input has taken notice of that.
