    Release 2 at a time, with nice outfits and weapons. with Alien planet playset that would be cool.

      I'm sure there'll be a market for those,Dr.Mego is already selling the Yeti&Fly head,the "Demon with horns" could be used for ZHOR...only the hands and feet would need to be done along the other TOMLAND figures...well,a guy can dream...

        Repros would probably be in the $20 range, If you do a quick completed auctions search on ebay you'll see quite a few figures have sold in the $20 to $30 range lately.

          Well usually they sell for around 50$ plus...those under that are less rare or beat up with clothes stained or in shreds...a brand new one at around 20-25$
          would be great!

          P.S.I've just paid 50$ for GRAND...

              can start a order list,
              its 5,000 dollars for a head mold
              and 5,000-10,00 piece production as standard .
              so were talking 25,000 dollars and a bare minium, outfits add extra 5,000.

                If Doc (or someone else I guess) does do these, I kinda hope they dont use the same feet or hands. I hated the wilted flower hands (especially the right hand design...what the heck was that all about?). The feet are kinda goofy too. If you have to have different feet maybe Paul could figure out how to re-use the Gorn and Mugato designs...thus helping pay off the tooling costs for same. As for hands...I prefer normal ones.

                  I agree the thumbs up was also bad,
                  I would do normal hands and feet and later figures(if successful) would have 3 fingers and 2 toe feet or web feet , but in a Position where it would be useful,
                  would not interfear with putting on boots or outfits

                    I agree,for example "AH" has enormous hands for it's size...but the various designs of those figures was adding to their charm in the first place...

                      Flash's hands always reminded me of a "Double Jointed" trick a friend of mine used to do. Great to see someone FINIALLY found a good use for Flash's hands.

                      The hands on these characters were so unique.
                      The Ice Cream Scoop hands on Coth were funny as well.

                        True, than do what Japanese Doll makers do
                        make the hands "POP in " and "pop out"

                          Yep,FLASH is my very first TOMLAND figure...when I saw his right curved hand
                          I imagined that he might like to hold a bag,so I made one for him
                          Now that GRAND is on the way,I hope to add(in a near future)ZHOR-YOG and COTH...I dig those more than the others and they'll suit my Star Trek TOS megos creatures well:

                              I think it's cool how this toyline blends so well with many of the generic space toylines.

                              The Tomlands were very influential to the Japanese fanbase of the 1990's who would one day become the driving force behind the modern cyborg suits.
