    These look cool, but I can't help but think there is a missed opportunity here. With the stylized "enlarged heads" on these vinyls, they could have easily made them removable and "just so happen to fit on a 1:9 scale body"...

      Exactly this! I saw them in another post first and immediately grabbed a ruler to see if the heads might be near Mego scale. I'd be happy if someone would just release some cool heads as "pencil toppers"!

        with the vinyls at almost 5 inches tall, that looks like the heads will come in at just about an inch and a quarter. Might work on a Mego buck. Not any crazier than figuring out how to make a PEZ head work. Of course, you are going to have to be into a comic stylized look. But that worked well for things like BifBangPow's Venture Bros., so might be cool for these properties. Seeing as how normal people in street clothes don't seem to be a big seller for MEGO, maybe the comic look would be a good thing. Maybe there is a little hope for these properties to move over to the 1:9 scale buck?

          Classic Hanna-Barbara & Looney Tunes Cartoon characters would look great in that format.

            My daughter will probably want the Stranger Things figures! These look nice.

              Yeah this is something that my kids will like and that's the point.

                These are neat and will probably do well, but there are so many things like this on the market, so I feel like they'll succeed because of that but also not break out of the pack as a result.
