Topps Mego Monday Thread

[palitoy]

Do you think we will see a mass-market release of Taylor (perhaps in his spacesuit)? This seems a highly-sought after character to make an exclusive...

I don't have any special insight but a space suit Taylor seems like a logical figure to be sold in the mass retailers.

Neat Taylor. I do wish they had something better to show than a rough head sculpt. It comes off kinda shoddy even if it's the best they can do. Looks like a custom and I'm sure some people won't order it based on that.

I don't know what the solution is for that since they probably don't have digital renders.

i would really like the Taylor, but don't care about adding yet another Zira, if we knew she would be on the new body i might consider it. plus it's getting too pricey to order these every week. i would imagine most of them will arrive from china at the same time, so Topps should bundle the shipping

[Mego-Amigo]

The Taylor figure looks awesome. Love the head sculpt and the rifle. Glad to see Zira reissued too. Man... if the last three weeks is any indication of what's to come my wallet is in trouble. I've ordered them all so far. Really hope to see Nova and Aldo soon.

I am glad I am not a POTA fan. Like TRDouble stated, "Whew." I could save myself some $$$. I already ordered 2 Captain Marvel, Black Adam and Kor. A space suit Taylor should be mass released. Give our Canadian and out of country collectors an opportunity to score Taylor. Mego and Topps really need to do something about the shipping so out fellow collectors don't get price gouged.

I had a strange feeling Zira would be this week.

Does anyone know if Taylor’s collar is part of the headsculpt or just a piece of fabric?

I'm sure it's fabric. That way they can repurpose the sculpt.

I didn’t think of that but it seems reasonable.

Taylor looks good and now Cornelius has Zira as it should be, a nice daily double Monday.

Not only is it hard to order these figures in such a short amount of time if you are watching your budget like me, but just think how much they will be on ebay after they are released!

Gad, tell me about it.

I ordered Taylor and Zira, as well as Spock and Kor last week. I wanted to get Shazam (*Cough* Captain Marvel *Cough*) and Black Adam, but I realized right away that this would get very expensive very quickly, and had to draw a line at Star Trek and Planet of the Apes. I'll regret not getting the superheroes later, but the dog hasn't dug up any gold nuggets in the back yard, so I can only afford so much.

But Zira SHOULD have been sold at regular retail, not as an exclusive like this. She is a MAIN character.

I thought last week's STAR TREK releases would be up on the TOPPS site until tonight. Not so. Due to a workplace situation, I wasn't able to check the site earlier today. Now I missed out getting the Spock MOTION PICTURE figure. Uggh.

Like some others have said, we may not have the money at a specific time, or life might get in the way and we may not get our orders in on time. This is not nice at all. I am very ticked off right now.

So is Taylor, he's the main character of the movie
