New custom mego store?

[THE MEGO]

I do have some stuff that you'll be interested in.
The only issue that I have is how do I make a copy of it. EXAMPLE..I found this hardly known about mego size chainsaw, but HOW DO I MAKE A COPY OF IT FROM HOME. Mode making is still new to me.
I've been experimenting....on THOR BOOTS IN DIFFERENT COLORS.

Reproduction parts for the vehicles. I know the Bat labs and joker mobiles usually have the red center stand piece missing. I know the cage and arm are usually broken or missing, the boxing glove and squirting flower on the Jokermobile are usually issues... Reproduction pieces for the Wayne foundation clamps, clips, furniture, backdrops settings, as well as furniture.

Well if you're going ahead with this I would like to wish you much luck and many sales.
As somebody previously stated I think your best route would be accessories to start with.
Things I'd like to see;

Brown leather bomber jacket
police holsters(chips) in brown,black,white and green
handgun in a python style with short medium and long barrel
double barreled shotgun
Handgun colt navy arms style
Mego size chainsaw
Western shirts
Viking/horned helmet

It really is a nice site, the colors really pop.

I can't wait to see what else you have in store.

[hedrap]

That's some pretty nice work. Good color representation.

It really easy to sell things cheaper than Dr. Mego. 4 simple steps.

1. Simply locate a reliable Chinese manufacturer who won't rip you off blind.
2. Invest thousands of dollars in molds, order thousands of copies of the parts.
3. Import them to the United States.
4. Sell them at a huge financial loss.

You'll be bankrupt, but the community will be so happy to have some new boots.

Nah... the community will complain that the boots aren't any good. ;-)

Thank you guys for all that info. I little much to take it, but I got the picture.

Or, invest thousands of dollars in a rotocasting machine here at home, and cut out the Chinese middle man.

Of course, beyond the machine, you will have to get a business license, a tax license, materials to make the items, molds to make the items from, a talented sculptor to MAKE said molds, a place to ship from, and a bank account that is strictly for business.

Oh, and don't give up your day job, because it is going to take a rather long time before you make enough profit to chuck it all and spend your days creating stuff, shipping out orders, and dealing with stuff like that.

Aside from all of that; please don't think that we are trying to discourage you. We aren't!

We just want you to know all of the ins, outs, pros, cons, liabilities, pitfalls, pratfalls, and windfalls that come with this sort of thing.

As Doc about his experiences, the guys at Cast-A-Way, and Craig over at ZICA.

They are good peeps, and always willing to give advice.

Thanks. I have.
I still feel it needs to be cheaper than that.
The economy sucks now.

Mock up sketches, sculpts or even primitive castings would give us all a good idea on what you want to sell.

[RottingDead]

My questions is,do You have examples of what your thinking about selling?

[HumanWolfman]

If you are considering opening a store, no matter what items you settle on selling, please dont confuse low cost items with low quality items. I, for one, would rather pay a little more cash for something with a higher quality level than less cash for something that falls apart. There are plenty of places for people to get heads, suits, boxes and bodies already. The biggest hole in what can be purchased for this scale are accessories, guns, boots, radios,ect and staging and back ground items, barrels, boxes, tables, stuff like that. Also, I would, not try to reinvent the wheel here. What ever you sell, make sure it is usable with the original mego stuff as well as the mego-like reproduction stuff. Example, a cool head, suit or gun is worthless if it cant be used on a mego original or mego-like repro body.
