    I'm interested in finding out what the new license is!

    So far he's done POTA, Star Trek, Night of the Living Dead, so what else is there that we can all sink our metaphorical teeth into?

    The possibilities are endless!

      We have a few licenses in play - some geared for different audiences - and of course our friends at Bif Bang Pow will be
      able to use these new body styles in their figures.

        Any updates on those World War 2 Zombie figures you showed a few months back?? I'd love to be able to buy the gear and heads even if the full figures weren't ready yet.

        And as an aside, just got my recent order in the mail from your site and love all the stuff I got. Thanks!

            Though it's no fault of his, the bands on his other female body were strung WAY too tight, and tended to snap.

            Don't get me wrong Paul, I loved them a lot; but I'm glad to see that you decided to go in a whole new direction.

            Not to mention keeping them within a decent price range.
            I for two. The old-style Mego bodies were revolutionary in the 1970s, and as a kid I was just glad to get figures of my favourite heroes.

            But the bar has been raised by other companies since then. I applaud DrMego for doing away with major weaknesses such as elastic bands and snapping joints.

            Not to mention keeping prices down.

            I do hope you consider doing your own range of rotocast heads for these new bodies.

              I think we will have some concrete information about the Zombie Death Kommandos in a few weeks. Thanks for
              reminding me to look into that.

              Glad to hear you received your order. Every drmego.com order mails out within a week - unless it's custom colors
              or a lot of hand cast items. I only have two hands!

                Doc, what is the height of each of these bodies. Will the teen body be the same height as the male just not as built or will it be smaller?
                Thanks!

                  Each body will be the same size as the original MEGO sizes - adult is 7 3/4, female is same size, the teen is 6 3/4.

                    Leela seriously need a non-Dinah body, so I'm really looking forward to that one.

                    Speaking of bodies - I really, really liked the ratchet joints in the recent Diamond Frankenstein. Any chance of seeing that feature across the new body line?

                      Well, I recently found out that Leela has a rotocast type neck plug that fit into a hole in the body, not the old Mego style where there is a hole in the head for a neck that is attached to the body to fit into.

                      Fewmbot is the same way.

                        Hey Doc, LOVE that the new female body is similar to the DC Retro ( bigger chest ) but I was wondering was the point is to the limited tipping movement in the chest in the DC Retro and your new one which looks like it also has it. Don't know about anyone else but I'd prefer it to be solid there and not have that visible seam.

                        I also like that yours looks like it will turn in the waist. Can't wait!!

                          I'm not too worried, they're only prototypes after all. I'm sure that the finished product will not have that problem.

                          MY only problem is choosing which female body to put all my excess Dinah heads on; Doc's or FTC's.

                          Hard choice to make.

                          But I guess it depends upon which one is available first. Doc is hoping for an October delivery, while FTC is still up in the air.

                          May the fastest delivery win!

                            Yes! More EMCE!
                            I really like the direction your new designs are going!
                            I'm especially excited about the new teen body! I got some customs in mind that wiil be perfect for that!
                            This with Figure Toys and Zica/Castway releases should mark another exciting time for Re-Mego!
                            YEA!

                                I will be posting some images of the new adult male body soon - my 3D sculptor has been away so I have to wait until she gets home.
