    I've always had a soft spot for Military and Civil figures in uniforms.

    A few examples...

    Classic Canadian Mounty

    American Civil War Army uniform (see F-Troop style)

    British Queen's Guard

    Swiss Guard (Vatican)

    Stuff like that

          I'd buy a military Mego line. Specially if they give us an M-65 jacket. Sailor uniform (cracker jacks) and the like.

            Super-heroes are my main jam, but those classic Robin Hood figures, reissued or updated, sure would be tempting. That said, I'd buy Robin Hood figures based on the Richard Greene series (fantastic show; if you haven't seen it, I heartily recommend it) in a heartbeat. And figures based on the Rocket Robin Hood cartoon would be a dream come true. But before Mego branches out into more "experimental genres", I'd rather they just put out more super-heroes (the Legion of Super-Heroes would keep my wallet empty enough), and after DC, work on securing the rights to the Marvel characters. Oh, and a few more Star Trek figures, TOS and The Animated Series (a M'ress and Arex would rock).

              Some more Star Trek TOS and TNG would be fine for me, I also would like to see western heroes make a come back with extra characters not made back in the day, with some gals done to like Calamity Jane and Annie Oakley.

                  Agreed on Trek. We especially need some more female characters if Mego ever gets the new body done. From TOS I’d like to see Rand, Chapel, and Vina (as the Orion slave girl), and from TNG we desperately need Troi and Crusher.

                  I know these are unlikely as individual units, so putting them in two packs with figures that have a broader appeal might be the ticket. Vina with a Talosian, for example, or Troi with a Selay or some other monstrous alien.

                  It might be risky but maybe Dr. Crusher with Wesley in his ensign uniform, but then again, that just may guarantee to rot on the pegs.

                      As nicely done the Mego Knights were, they didn't have much play value and King Arthur wasn't great.

                      Do a sword & sorcery fantasy knights line. Wizard, death knight, sorceress, barbarian, etc. Think D&D not Tolkien.
                      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                        If companies like Mezco can create their own unique characters like the Rumble Society and have them sell out in minutes, Mego could defintiely create their own unique characters within popular genres. I like Werewolf's fantasty idea. And Brian's ninjas. A set of multi-colored ninja figures would fly like shuriken.

                            Only if it's minimally fuzzy (like those Halmark ornaments of the polar bear and the penguin?) and just the face would be enough, because I've seen the massive shedding problems in the Mego werewolf's package ... and it ain't pretty!

                              Agreed. I didn’t even open my flocked werewolf because of that. One of the few Megos I bought that is still on the card.

                                I’d like to see Greek mythology characters in a Mego format. For creatures, the Minotaur, Medusa, a siren and even Echidna. Human form wise, Perseus, Andromeda, Zeus, Athena, Aphrodite or countless other gods.
