    Couldn't something like GI Joe RAH figures be in the '83 Re-Imagine?? Isn't that the year they came out in 3 3/4?

      Maybe it could be a Megos in the 80's catalog to include a wider range of shows/characters?
      I think you've hit on the best idea yet for this.
      I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

      If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

        Look at 1983 in the toybiz... you've got GI Joe RAH hitting it, He-Man, and Transformers.

        I'm thinking 1983 would be the year of the Mego Micronauts second coming... the link between RAH and Transformers.

        Possibly Mego going after the Rambo line or one of the many P.O.W. military films, like Missing in Action, in order to get a military foothold in the GI Joe market.

        Remco has Conan and Warlord, Mattel has He-Man... what does Mego come up with to compete?

        Wrestling was big with Remco having the rights to AWA and LJN having WWF. What does Mego do?

            The A Team! Those would be some awesome Megos! I loved that show as a kid. They did make some larger molded figures for this, I even had a few, but Megos would have been much more preferable. Imagine the van. Oh man! The accessories!

              Lord of the rings? Scooby Doo! The Mystery Machine! The innumerable villains! The play set possibilities. Imagine a haunted house play set . I gotta goo with some scooby doo. Even in reruns I think it would have been popular with kids, both boys and girls. Different outfits for Daphne and Velma.

                      Don't forget Cheers began in 82. Not the most action packed line, but they made 3-3/4" Love boat figures. I figure anything goes.
                      Looking for:

                      --Lion Rock "Mr Rock's" shoes/ boots (these may also be the same as the lion rock monster line boots)

                      --Mystery Astronaught

                                That video is awesome. the only thing that takes me out of it is GI Joe, and He-Man... since both cartoons came about from the toylines.

                                How does Mego get the rights to He-Man, when the Mattel owns it hook line and sinker? Same as GI Joe.

                                I need my fiction anchored in some science here.
