"It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."Comment

Wow, the floodgates have opened. Happily, many of these are already in the talking stages but there are several more that we hadn't thought of.
Let's see what we can do...meantime, I'm gonna dig deep and see if I can come up with any more myself.
F'rinstance...I don't think there's enough here for a real production run but it would be cool to do a Glow-In-The Dark Lon Chaney Jr. Indestructible Man.
War of the Colossal Beast...not to scale, of course...
Hammer's The Reptile and Gorgon...
No-one mentioned Christopher Lee's Curse of Frankenstein!Comment

Wow, that pretty much covers everything I can think of off the top of my head. Bruce Campbell, Addams Family, Tor Johnson, Rondo Hatton, Nosferatu, London After Midnight vampire, Jason, everything everything I want has been named already.
OK, fringe maybe, but what about Alice Cooper, The Misfits, GWAR, etc. You know, maybe some horror bands?Expectation is the death of discovery.Comment

Hammer had so many cool versions of classic monsters (like Oliver Reed's werewolf), zombies, the Reptile, and who doesn't want a Peter Cushing? Or Vincent Price? (Karloff, Lorre?...)
I'd also love a line devoted to 50s SciFi/horror monsters..

my picks for the mego treatment would be:
the incredible melting man
little demons from don't be afraid of the dark
Gargolyes (70's tv film)
sleestak from the 70's land of the lost series
creature from Black Lake
tar man (rotld, though I am aware a toy of him now exist)
Jason (friday the 13th part 2-4 look)
Nick Adams (Actor, though not a monster at all he did star in die monster die among
others)"What motivated him to throw a puppy at the Hells Angels is currently unclear,"
Starroid Raiders Dagon wrote "No Dime Store Monster left behind"Comment

Definitely the classic Fly
Morlocks from Time Machine (classic)
Zombie(s) ala George Romero style
Swamp Thing!
Blacula
the western/cowboy zombie from the movie "House" (or was it House 2?)
Some generic additions to the Mad Monsters: boogeyman, warlock, lizard creature, bigfoot, aliens...

I totally get how The Misfits would make good MEGOs, between the simple makeup and outfits and the whole Famous Monsters throwback feel they had, but I don't see any real applicability for GWAR. The thing I've always noticed about MEGOs is that they're very much like classic monsters and superheroes in that they're either wearing thin costumes, or simple facial makeup. The GWAR outfits are just too big and out there to feel like MEGOs. Not saying that 8" GWAR guys wouldn't work, just not feeling the MEGOness.
Plus, since the beauty of Mego was everything was more or less interchangeable, you could mix and match parts and make new monsters! Imagine an Alien wearing Dracula's tux! Jason Vorhees sporting Freddy Kruger's sweater!
And why stop with the monsters of film and literature? What about a Bigfoot, Mothman, or the Jersey Pine Barrens' own Jersey Devil (NJ members represent, yo!)
Oh, and bring back the Super Softies. Every kid in Sweden would love a Tor Johnson Super Softie to take to bed every night to protect 'em from monsters under the bed and stuff. It's GOLD I tells ya!"It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life.
