Topps Mego Monday Thread

[LonnieFisher]

Hey Mego Mates, how does one tell how many of the figures have been ordered, if there is a way to tell? Thanks.

Dana

The Topps Mego archive has the figures listed with the production numbers.

wow, Gorgon was under 1000. i wonder what their threshold is for producing these

[PNGwynne]

Well, I did my part for Gorgon. Very excited for Hammer Phantom and Zombie. They are going fairly deep--might we see Baron Meister or Mocata? Thrice-blessed to get a Charles Gray action figure!

[powersthatbe]

I'll pass this week. I admit I am not familiar with the Hammer films except for Lee and Cushing. Also does The Gorgon hair have snakes like the Greek myth? that is why I bought it lol I can't really see in the pics if it is.

[Mego-Amigo]

I am very pleased to see how deep they are going with the Hammer offerings. Surely Ingrid Pitt's Carmilla Karnstein, Ursula Andress' She and Raquel Welch's Loana can't be far behind. These three ladies would definitely need the new female body though. Powersthatbe ... Gorgon does have snakes in her hair.

Since I am on a tight budget every month I have decided to pass of all Topps figures. I am hoping that these are treated like a "Kick-Starter" figures to let Mego know what sold and to see if it warrants a broader release through Wal-Mart. Target or other on-line stores.

I took a look and noticed that 5 figures max per order and sold out, so does this mean people are scooping these up and in about 3 months or so we will see these offered on ebay for two or three times the price? Although if free shipping is offered, maybe the folks in Canada could be possibly getting a deal out of it?

They don’t actually sell out. Topps will take as many orders as they get and then that amount of figures will be produced. I mean, they’ll likely make a few extra in case any are damaged.

I am happy to see they are making the Hammer Phantom of the Opera... I only wish they also made his arch nemesis, Lord Ambrose d'Arcy. He was the true villain of that film. While they are at it, they could also use the Michael Gough sculpt to make an Arthur Holmwood figure to go with their Hammer Dracula line.

The clothes on the Hammer Phantom figure would work well for a Peter Cushing Baron Frankenstein Kitbash.

I checked for these on ebay, the selling prices are already ridiculously outrageous and they all say pre-ordered items, but you probably knew it would be.

Just saw Joel Posted this on the Ambassadors page...

After many, many comments and concerns about our Mego Monday releases and much internal review, we are pausing the release of new figures, to address how best to optimize our DTC program going forward…stay tuned!

Wow. Honestly--and I in no way mean to sound like a jerk, though I will admit to selfishness--I'm relieved.

I'll give Mego credit, they seem to be responsive to their market.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Its great that they listen to their customers like this. I personally think two figures weekly may have been a tad too aggressive, but I appreciated the variety. I hope they find another way to give us these figures that may not be feasible at retail.

Are we talking Print Run, Lonnie (and thank you)? The Gorgon PR is at 1313 currently. I ordered two of her, I thought she looked cool.
