Top 10 Most Wanted Marvel Figures

[Jrfjr126rock]

We all know it's a long shot that Mego will ever get the Marvel license again but if so what would be everyone's top 10 wants?

1. Daredevil
2. Spiderman
3. Wolverine
4. Kingpin
5. Captain America
6. Falcon
7. Elektra
8. Nick Fury
9. Moon Knight
10. Blade

My idea would be for Mego to pitch to Disney a partnership where they could be Disney Park and store exclusives. I think it would be fun to see Megos of all the Disney licenses including Star Wars, Mickey Mouse characters, Disney Princesses, etc. Kind of like a collect-them all souvenir item.

If they do this, I would want it to include the Target stores with a Disney Area. All of the Disney stores near me have closed the last few years.

Heroes

1. Spider-man
2. Black Panther
3. Iron Man
4. Captain America
5. Hulk
6. Thing
7. Human Torch
8. Vision
9. Thor
10. Wolverine

Villains

1. Doctor Doom
2. Hobgoblin
3. Magneto
4. Lizard
5. Abomination
6. Loki
7. Ultron
8. Titanium Man
9. Red Skull
10. Absorbing Man

These are in no particular order of preference. But they would make a great heroes vs villains set.

I think Hasbro has done a good job giving us a variety of characters for their pocket superhero type line. Any of those initial releases would be great in Mego scale as well!

Anyone else been getting the retro Marvel 3.34? Other than that the EMCE box sets were really amazing wish they made iron man tho.

I haven't got any yet but they look so good that I think I may bite! I liked the DST boxsets too although the heads were too hard and don't fit into pegs very well.

I have gotten a bunch of these. There's a thread about them in the modern toys forum.

There have never been any official toys based on The Incredible Hulk TV series! My dream, maybe my ultimate wish list figures, would be MEGO David Banner, Hulk, Jack McGee, and more. Frye's Creature, plus TV Spiderman & TV Cap, would also be great. TV Thor & Daredevil would be the icing on the cake.

I think the Incredible Hulk is not owned by Disney right? Not sure who owns the license for the TV series...

[palitoy]

Disney owns the Hulk fair and square. If you want to license Hulk merchandise, you have to go to Disney. If you want to make Hulk TV Merchandise, you have to pay Disney and Universal and the estates of the actors. This is, providing they have all worked something out.

Interesting. Why is it then that Disney cannot make a Hulk movie for MCU and can only use the character in other shows/movies?

They can make a Hulk movie. They're choosing not to.

I think Universal has distribution rights to the Hulk, while Disney owns the character outright.

They don't quite own the movie rights full and clear, but they can and do use the characters-from an article published last month citing the recently released Story of the Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe

In The Story of Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (which was recently published by Abrams Books), it's noted that Universal and Marvel publicly agreed upon a new deal regarding the Hulk film rights in 2006. However, this only happened after Universal failed to get a sequel to Ang Lee's 2003 Hulk movie in active development by the contracted date (at which point the rights would revert to Marvel).David Maisel, a former Marvel Studios executive who played a key role in getting the MCU up and going, subsequently proposed that Marvel Studios make the next Hulk film and pay Universal to distribute it, which resulted in 2008's The Incredible Hulk. This also ensured that Marvel Studios could use Hulk in "future multicharacter films," beginning with The Avengers in 2012 and continuing on to Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Thor: Ragnarok (2017), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), and Avengers: Endgame (2019). At the same time, Universal retains "the right of first refusal to distribute any future solo Hulk movies," which accounts for the lack of a second Hulk solo movie in the MCU.

I googled that and it seems to be correct. Cool, I assumed Disney wasn't making Hulk movies because of the poor box office of the earlier ones, but seemingly they don't want to deal with Universal.
