"WAR OF THE DEAD" line pix

[SciFiGuyLA]

I totally missed this thread.
I saw pics online yesterday while Googl'ing and stumbled onto the thread here.
Just bumping it back to the top to see if there is any news.

There has been news, but unfortunately, it's bad news. Doc posted this in another thread:

...we did not get enough interest from distributors and retailers for the War of the Dead megos to justify the tooling costs, so we put it on hold.

He went on to say that they might try again later this year, so keep your fingers crossed.

Hey I was just on Joe Deroan's Mego Store looking around and saw these on there, it says he has 11 in stock??? WHat is this? Were these released? Doc can you help me out?

Thats a bummer, I really liked the yellow A.I.M. guy !

So, is this whole line of proposed zombie merchandise dead now?

[GaryPlaysWithDolls]

Yeah, the cadaver disposal guy was cool. I actually published a story about a place that disposes of "dead" zombie carcasess after the zombie apocalypse. Editor called it "a gruesome little piece..."

When talking about zombies, never say dead.
Instead of producing this line, and having it compete
with the DIY Zombie Kit, we decided to hold off until
a later date.

Retailers put everything up for pre-order since no one's
card is charged until it ships.

Makes perfect sense.
I look forward to the line being continued, even if it means a year or so.

I will be buying some of these up at least two sets, cause one will be in a Starfleet uniform LOL

[groovedirk]

Any chance of putting up the gear to buy ala carte on your site??

I hope these figures do happen someday, that Technician and Commando are perfect (and would be perfect for customs too).

[drmego]

One of the reasons why we put this line on hold was that there is so much mego scale product
out there lately (you're welcome) that a non-licensed line like this would not get much attention
from retailers.

The "Make Your Own Comic Book Hero" kit is due to hit stores in early November - in time for
the holiday season - so keep an eye out for that.
