I also think this is a great list. I really dig the Sherlock and Watson idea.

I'd like to see more customizer parts, like belts, weapons, boots, boot feet in popular colors, and roto cast heads of different types for customizing.

I like the red hero head I have, and different sculpts without ears, or with a 3/4 mask with hair on top would be useful.

Cloth capes in different colors would be good.

I second this. Maybe Castaway can create their own Hulk-like muscle body and female body and gear, clothing for both.

Character wise, since they're on a King Features kick:
1) Flash Gordon - Flash, Dale, Zarkov, Ming
2) Dick Tracy - Dick, Flattop and/or any other villains
3) Mandrake and Lothar
4) Prince Valiant - Val, the knights, Aleta, King Arthur, etc.

Hey, why not talk to Gerry Anderson? We could use a Captain Scarlet series of figures! Why let our buddies across the pond have all the fun?

Holmes and Watson, what a great idea
But don't forget about Hercule Poirot then, gotta have that Belgian detective too

[fallensaviour]

Castaway should make a chips police belt in Black,green,brown and white...

[Wesclone]

I want to add to my list the one that Mego "almost" made...

Logan's Run.

How about the "King of Kung Fu".....Bruce Lee. I've never seen a 1/9 scale (Mego size) interpretation of the "Dragon''. I'm currently working on creating one of the best "customized" Mego size Bruce Lee action figures (with varies outfits) for my kids. I'm working along with some talented costumizers at the Mego museum. Here's some reference pictures. His time has come....WaaTaa!!!

Thats Probably the Best Bruce Lee Figure I have ever scene.

That's a sweet custom!

And Meule, it depends upon which Poirot you want.

Do you want the Albert Finney version, Peter Ustinov or David Suchet?

[mishu2nite]

A custom using the First improved body, not the improved megoish body, but the more realistic body that was created. The body is already done, just needs to go to China. Possibly Conan, or Savage?

Yea, sounds good to me too... I'd be all over that... (pssst got $10,000 to spare?)

I also hear they are considering a new Dark Shadows movie.

Johnny depp has purchased the rights to do a Dark Shadows film. Everyone I know who knows my love of Dark Shadows (who is not under the spell, or too young to remember) has been asking me about the old show, borrowing or watching tapes with me. It would also be a natural for a sort of star trek type animated series, then the figures could look like those characters.
If they had done this in the mego era extra costumes from different time periods could have been done. Playsets too! How about something called "menacing monsters!" with all the teenage monsters, wolfman frankenstein etc.

[mage66]

It just hit me.... Lost in Space in MEGO scale. One space suit does all the men, and could be used for a generic space suit for customs (1966 Mr. Freeze anyone?). Then, using the same heads there could be variants with the first and second season costumes.

Same goes for female figures...

Maybe Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea could be done too?
