Just watched/listened to the Panel:

Nothing new as far a Mego but:

Yes they are working on Marvel figures (no they could not say who)

Talked about the DC 50th anniversary and the newer once are more in line with Super Powers era

Talked about the 50th anniversary Two-Face (will be different from prototype)

50th anniversary/Super Powers Hawkman in the works


Talked about Big Lots that are hitting the shelves (slowly) and the reason why they choose what they did. What would original Mego have done for Batman '66 when they were in reruns during the 70's.

Superman is based in the Max Fleischer cartoon.

No 50th anniversary POTA

New 50th anniversary Star Trek TOS (the first 5 pack)

[B-Lister]

Literally all WGSH.

Boring.

[Jmass]

Thanks for the summary! Much appreciated.

Will the 5-pack Star Trek figures be new sculpts or replicas of the 70s sculpts?

There are trying to create the redo the 70's version with the original heads and outfits.

They will be new tooling of the vintage heads. I'm so glad they aren't using the heads that they have been using since 2018. That Kirk head was so messed up.

[Mego-Amigo]

Sad news that there will be no 50th anniversary Apes.

[TrekStar]

Agreed 100%

Since the Super Gals were talked about I would love to see Catwoman in anything but the Pirate outfit. If Mego release that version I feel she will be stuck on the shelf. Who in today's market even remember it. They need to with the purple dress or purple/black outfit.

If they do the TT please fix those costume mistakes or better yet just do them at 8 inch figures. This way they do not have to create a new Wonder Girl body. Those teen versions were nice but why go back that way again.

[B-Lister]

I want the teen bodies because I would love them to do Young Justice (the comic not the toon) and an 8" Impulse would just look wrong.

[wise guy]

Ever since they did the DC 50 th anniver. figures I have stopped collecting all other Mego figures except The Classic Monsters. I have even sold all the Star Trek, POA, and Carded DC figures except Wonderwoman and Deathstroke. I hated the Superman and Batman carded new figures with large heads but look forward to Hawkman and any other 50 th boxed DC , Marvel, and Supergals.

[Confessional]

While I think skipping (more) repros of classic Apes is a good move, no new Apes is megasucktastic! The Simian gods do not approve!
