Is BBP done with 8"

[alex]

Everything seems to be coming to a end, or simply cancelled. I personally cant see the "big bang theory" figures doing well(although watch the show every week, but have no interest in the figures), and wouldnt be surprised if they never got made because of low preorders. It seems the focus now is the smaller style figures, that seems to be the sudden rage. BBP I seriously love your product, even if there have been hickups along the way, with large heads etc.Love your cards that U have to rip the figure off, rather than the collector friendly clamshell. So is there anything in the pipeline that we can expect that will once again knock our socks off, rather than a couple of gay dudes from some show, that I have no clue about.

Ace and Gary - The Ambigously Gay Duo was a series hugely funny animated shorts on Saturday Night live in the 90's (I'm sure you can you tube them), and while not for me would seem to be perfect fodder for a con exclusive with the higher pricepoint and lower sales outlets.

I seriously thing the head and likeness issues with Galactica and SMDM killed interest in both lines. I know it did for me.

Although it might be denied it certainly seems BBP is getting out of the re-Mego format especially as licenses scale down. At least with what is known on paper publically. FTC seems to be the real winners of the Mego scale currently, but I've yet to support a single license just yet. I kind of figure by the time I go after their superhero line I'll have buyers regret and wish I saved more money by buying parts rather than whole carded figures, like they've done with Kiss. Anyway, regarding BBP, I know I'm still reeling from being bummed about the cancellation of the Dr Who figures. I remember past threads where people were seriously concerned about the lack of progress regarding Dr Who, only to be told be patient and more were coming out. Well, not as much as hoped came out and certainly not the characters I desired. Then, after I got caught up by buying the expensive DW tin cans, do I find out there wouldn't be any more Dr Who re-Mego! So, for me anyway, that leaves only one other license of theirs I care to support and that's the Venture Bros. I fear the flooding of the market of 3 3/4 figures won't last as long as their famous Pop vinyls. Funko, being rich and all, are the only one's who won't be too terribly affected if 3 3/4 flops as they appear to have hands in other market. But what do I know?

There does seem to be a bit of a remego bubble burst at BBP at first glance ...

I posted a list on another thread of what we are making for 8-inch, and it's still quite a bit including currently announced waves of BSG, SMDM, all Venture Bros figures, Mike Tyson, Ace and Gary, all The Big Bang Theory Figures plus more shown at Toy Fair (and some not shown). There are absolutely more 8-inch on the way from us.

We have improved 8-inch likeness and perfected the head size. For all of the comments about Doctor Who character choices, we have listened. All seven Big Bang Theory figures are coming out in wave one.

If we knew how long approvals would take, or how many factory compliance issues there would be, we would have certainly changed our Doctor Who character release schedule. Both were out of our hands. We are in this to make money everyone - we have no intention to make shelf warmers or delay anything for internal reasons. Small companies like ours have challenges that we attempt to overcome as quickly as possible.

But we always appreciate your support and input. More are on the way!

Great to hear! I love my BBP 8" figures and looking forward to adding new figures.

Please bring out the Steve and Barney Megos!!!
Not interested in 3-3/4' figures at all. Never had 'em as a kid.
8 inch Mego format rules!!!

Why yes, but the weather report called for "sky is falling"...

I would pay top dollar if the Big Bang Theory figures came with these outfits:

We'll need a partnership with FTC to make the top ones happen. And you'll never see The Big Bang Theory toys in drag like the bottom image.

I am just wondering, are there any new licenses we don't know about. SMDM, BBT, BSG, Venture Bros. Tyson, and Gary and Ace? Right? Is that the rest of the 8 inch line. I just hope some more surprises are coming.

Although I'm obviously a Mego-sized guy I can appreciate the smaller figs. To me, the next best line after 1/9 Mego styled stuff is Super Powers. I'd love to see some cool new licenses with those, but cost structure is prohibitive. It's hard to wrap my mind around paying 15-20 dollars for a 3 3/4 inch character, but I understand the need to make a profit after after license fees, packaging and tooling. I'm just needing a line of figures I can't say no to. Otherwise please bring on the rest of the Venture Brothers in 2014. That's, for me and by far the best remego line so far.
