Would it benefit Mego to dive back into non-horror unlicensed lines?
Now before you quickly shout, "Of course!!", remember who the present-day Mego company serves. Today, Mego sells to a niche collecting market, NOT to a massive, broad audience of little boys. Lines like World's Greatest Super Knights and Heroes of the American West were toys. Toys that appealed to kids in the 70s. Most of us here would admit to a Mego bias, perhaps even a mania, but would adult collectors who are passing on many of the figures Mego IS producing today line up for non-licensed figures like Vikings or First Responders? Or do you think there would only be value in reproducing new versions of their old non-licensed figures like Knights and Merry Men?
