Mego SDCC Reveals

[imlaughing2death]

Kinda disappointed there's nothing I'm interested in for another Wave, but at least there's something there for other folks. A bit puzzling that they're going full ham on Ghostface with all of the color variants, and for some reason I'm always surprised when I see Big Lebowski merch.

With all the cash I've been spending on toys, I'm actually kind of happy to take a wave off. Other than the reissued original WGSH, nothing else in this wave appeals to me at all and some I haven't even heard of. That's cool, because targeting a younger audience is important and I don't expect every wave to fit my personal wish list.

I was disapointed tho there were no new 14 inch guys seen yet. Fingers crossed Black Adam 14" and a few surprises pop up soon. I'm liking the randomness of these waves; ya never know what's coming next. Makes it fun.

No classic Universal or Hammer monsters saves me some cash.

[Mego-Amigo]

I definitely want the 50th WGSHs but I was quite surprised and disappointed that there's no Universal Monsters, Hammer, Trek or Apes offered in this new wave.

[palitoy]

The wave just trickling out now had 4 apes characters, 4 Star Trek, 3 Hammer and 1 Universal Monster. From what I've been told, Mego wanted to mix it up a bit with the character selection for this wave. I'm really into the Apes myself, but I'm cool with sitting one out.

[Confessional]

Yeah, I'm delighted with the lack of Apes and Monsters… still buying multiples of the current releases to replace/upgrade old customs, as well as work up some new options.

Is the Laughton Hunchback Universal? I thought it was RKO, or did Uni buy the rights?

[scott metzger]

Definitely in for the WGSH return, and I couldn't pass on an Oompa Loompa. The Batman, regular Ghostface and Hatchet might be grabbed down the line. The rest would likely only be for custom fodder if I grabbed them. Okay with a wave I'm not all in on, given that I am trying to grab some extras of the current wave and may be getting multiples of the old timers.

I believe it's under the Universal umbrella, regardless of that my point stands.

Yeah, I don't mind a "gap wave". I think the repro WGSH is a great idea but I amassed a decent collection of the vintage, so it's not going to hurt my wallet. I look forward to seeing them at retail though, how fun.

[thunderbolt]

Just curious about it or if I missed another monster in that wave. Usually Universal uses the Chaney Hunchback so I didn’t know they had this one too.

[palitoy]

They confirmed it's Laughton, all I got.

Let the mass confusion begin!! Those are most definitely the WGSH reissues, but boy is that description going to get people crazy!!

[thunderbolt]

1978 Superman kind of implies the Reeve movie too
