      Done. Interesting. I wonder what they're up too.

        I have to be honest, when I took the survey I was fine until it asked me for my address, income, and other personal info. I closed it out after that. I just worry about phishing.
        It's all good!

          Toy geeks

          Trust me - there are toy geeks EVERYWHERE!!! One of the nice
          things about making these new megos is that I get calls from a
          wide range of people telling me how they like them.

          You need to love toys to work in the toy business - the money
          isn't that good. If you didn't dig the product, you could
          make more money working for a soulless corporation making
          widgets. To make toys, you have to keep part of your child
          mind awake and open to new ideas.

          I'm glad to hear that Mattel is asking about Major Matt Mason
          and Big Jim. It's their brand - they might as well look into
          re-introducing it to a new generation.

              I hope they decide to go forward with it, but I have my doubts given recent news. If you can't sell Barbie and Hot Wheels how can you sell goofy retro boy dolls?

                I thought it was awesome to see some of those questions and options, bravo Mattel!

                But I have to admit I was pretty torn when it came to the retro cloth figures. If they were to move forward with DC figures like this, I'd rather them be noticeably different from Megos (more of an homage, including new characters) rather than replicas a la EMCE.
