    Repro Knockoffs?

    What Knockoffs would be fun to ReMego?

    I would love to see quality versions of the Tomlands figures. Instead of cheap blow molded bodies and fabric that shreds at a glance.

    The Martian Chronicles? Yes, the name of the line is TMed by Bradbury's estate but a license from a deceased author is possible to get usually. And even still, a KO of a KO line unlicensed as generic Aliens, I mean how close were the figures to the book and show really?

    The Presidents line? Make a Fist Fighter Teddy Roosevelt. Put Nixon on a Fonzie body and give him his V-fingers.

    Sonic Man and Woman and the Action Apes are more into the Bootleg territory I think lol. Still, could be fun...

    I can't say which one but I saw the AMAZING packaging art for one of these lines you mentioned not too long ago. SDCC will make some folks happy.

        Well, I know I want Tomland Aliens to be redone in ReMego style. I know that Doc Mego would knock those out of the freaking park. I would like to see the Denys Fisher versions of Cyborg and Muton (8-9inch Henshin Cyborg and King Walder figures) with costumes and cybernetic parts remade in Mego style especially with the new S Type bodies, but I don't know if they could be licensed without going through Takara.
        Honestly drawing a blank on bootlegs at the moment. Maybe the Apes Attacks figures? I like the idea of Apes from Space

          Most of the Tomland Star Raiders you can get from Doc Mego. I would like to see the POA knockoffs (Astro Apes, Azrak Hamway International Action Apes, Time of the Apes) done. The strange thing is they look more like the books version that the movie version.

            Yes, but buying all the parts to make one would be expensive. I would rather have an updated one with cool packaging and already complete.

              Tomland and Lincoln Monsters would be fun. Classic monsters are always popular.
              You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                  Licensed properties people, no to Lincoln and AHI Monsters. The Tomland Generic Monsters and Aliens are fair game though.

                    The Lincoln Monsters aren't licensed Bill.

                      I can get behind the Tomland Star Riders and a more generic version of Universal Monsters. I would also like to see the Knock-Off Planet of the Apes since they looked more like the book version/Cartoon version.

                      I would also like to see more Public Domain characters in mego form.

                        I'd be most interested in the Tomland Star Raiders.

                            That is a great idea. You're right. Doc would elevate that line. I didn't realize we could piece those together.
                            If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                              I'd love a re-imagining of the Tomlands. But just the same headsculpts on more articulated bodies doesn't hold much appeal for me.
