    Thanks. For me, it’s like looking in the yearbook at my high school haircut. The factory process caused many of them to contract in the middle so I’m pretty confident all of them could be improved on.

    I really liked a few of them, more than some of the newer Mego Corp. figures.

    I would like to see figures using the Hulk buck, as well.

    As someone who grew up with Mego, my wish list of 8 figures, from most wanted down, would be:

    Spider-Woman
    Captain Britain (red suit)
    Jack O' Lantern
    Baron Zemo
    Iceman
    Kang
    Mysterio
    Hobgoblin

    Honorable mentions:
    Super Skrull (Hulk buck)
    Firestar
    Rhino
    Kraven

    Who do I think they'll make, especially if they're selling them in Disney stores and parks?
    Deadpool
    Wolverine
    Miles Morales
    Spider Gwen
    Venom
    Black Panther
    Dr. Doom
    Scarlet Witch

    I love Namor, but his best look is the green trunks, and the Mego body is not impressive enough (see Conan and Tarzan) to pull off a non-costumed figure.

    Years ago, someone posted a great custom of Cpt. Britain in the forums here. There are also some good customs of Iceman out there.

    Hasbro has come out with Marvel Legends Jack O' Lantern, but they are just generic pumpkin heads. The genius of Ditko was in giving him those bold, wonky eyes.

    Deadpool
    Wolverine
    Punisher (this might be a longshot, due to the current social/political climate)

    Also, I wouldn't be surprised to see the retooled/updated versions from the Diamond Select line pop up amongst the new Marvel Megos:

    Spider-Man
    Captain America
    Thor

    All of the above seem pretty logical choices, since the tooling, suit patterns and gear likely reverted back to Paul/Dr. Mego after the DS line ended.

Re-releasing the figures would be a cost-effective option, fill some gaps, and we may get figures that were hinted at, but passed over the first time:

    Pirate Deadpool
    Spider-Man 2099

    Just a thought. Your mileage may vary.

    A classic costume Spider-Woman would be great. I am in favor of sculpted hair, not doll hair.

    Who I would like to see, and who I think is financially viable (Deadpool, Miles) might be two different lists.

    I agree, would love to see some Ditko villains.

    Scarlet Witch and Spider-Woman are tops on my Gals list.

    My guess for the 8 additional figures would be:
    Doctor Doom
    Wolverine
    Deadpool
    Black Panther
    Dr. Strange
    Daredevil
    Vision
    Dr. Octopus

    I definitely want them to make these but would switch out a few with any of the following, just to start to round out some teams:
    Scarlet Witch
    Venom
    Cyclops
    Silver Surfer
    Magneto
    Iceman
    Beast
    Loki

    Any Ditko villains would be awesome - Electro, Mysterio, Kraven, Dormammu, etc. Bring on the bad guys!

    I'd like to see some more villains, Doom, Red Skull and Electro would be fun. I'd love to see a Spider-Woman too.

    It's funny to me because I say loved Mego figures as a kid, but I only had WGSH Megos and mostly DC Comics. With Marvel, I only had Spider-Man, Iron Man, and The Falcon. I would have loved a Thor too, but the long hair probably meant I was never going to get him as a kid. I wasn't a big FF fan, didn't really read The Hulk until the 80s (and that was because the record store my Mother went to only had The Hulk comics), was indifferent to Captain America, didn't like Conan, and was also indifferent to the Spider-Man villains. I got heavy into Marvel in the early 80s, past the Mego heyday, and I look forward to picking up Marvel Megos now.

    For the WGSH, I only collected the figures that I read in the comic books, I had 7 of the ones pictured. I did not read the FF4 but I had the Thing since I read Marvel Two-in-one comics. I had about the same amount of the DC heroes, which at times battled the Marvel heroes or I teamed up Batman and Spider-Man to battle Joker and Green Goblin. I had the complete Star Trek collection of figures and Aliens.
