Bigfoot pics

whats Disco Bigfoot?

Probably a reference to the Ted Cassidy version of Bigfoot, his giant perm, purple eye-shadow, and that gawdawful score that was used for "The Return of Bigfoot—Part I". They should have stuck with the Bigfoot "theme" established in Andre's "The Secret of Bigfoot".

I'm assuming that he is not someone you'd wanna dance with?

I'm really glad they opted for this style as opposed to disco Bigfoot.

Each time I see him I want him more and more. Will they Jamie and the Fembots, I wonder?

I'd imagine any Bionic Woman figures would require a separate license from Universal, since it was a different show. A "fembot" could be part of the SMDM line since they appeared in one episode ("Kill Oscar—Part II"), but they are more closely associated with BW where they appeared in four episodes ("Kill Oscar—Parts I & III" and "Fembots in Las Vegas—Parts I & II").

A BW line would realistically feature just three characters: Jaime, Max, and a fembot. It's doubtful minor guest-star characters like Callahan, Mark Russell or Chris Williams would warrant figures. SMDM figures like Oscar Goldman and Dr. Rudy Wells could serve as "cross-overs" for both lines—just as they did on the shows.

Bigfoot also crossed over to BW for one episode ("The Return of Bigfoot—Part II"), but it was Ted Cassidy who played him. Maybe we'll get a Ted Cassidy figure, too! Though it would have to be a bit shorter and not have a fat gut!

Bigfoot is a good example. Since our figure's fur is soft and not sculpted, we can't just make a part that comes off his belly to reveal the bionics.

That's a great idea. We can add our own circuit board just as easily as having BBP do it. Plus, we can customize it to our obsessive heart's content.

I can't tell you how excited I am for Bigfoot after seeing this last pic. Man, I'm sooo happy it's the mego dream-team making him.

Hey, that would be amazing! I've seen those birthday cards with a small chip embedded in them to play a sound or quote. Imagine if the SMDM had one beneath his shirt on his back that you could trigger to make the bionic sound as he leapt off something. Better yet, a few strategically placed ones that mimicked various sounds, such as the eye, etc. I don't think this is practical at all, but it is a fun idea. I bet somebody could customize one with all the diverse talents of this community brought to bear.
Meanwhile, it seems to me the input that fans are having on some of these figures is unprecedented. Mr. Lenzi, like Dr. Mego and many others, are being remarkably patient and generous with our suggestions. In the end, they can't please everyone, but they are doing their best to try. It's really impressive.

Here are some of the classic sound FX, in case anyone wants to make their own custom soundchips:

I think they should have a sound chip and make the bionic noise! That is a "play" features adults can love.

now thats an awesome suggestion Paul!

I've been thinking the same thing, although it probably wouldn't be feasible to place the sound chip inside the figures. An easy alternative would be to have the chip inside a base or some type of accessory (similar to what McFarlane did for the Austin Powers figures).

Since 99.9% of the people that are going to buy these are going to be adults I don't think any bionic features are necessary -- considering the figures are going to sit on a shelf full clothed for display.

Most important thing is the headsculpt/paintjob and suit.

I highly doubt Mego would have done any sort of removable module back in the day.

Creating new arm and leg molds, which they couldn't re-use on other figures, doesn't really follow their financial or production models we know about.

Even Fonzie, as a one-shot character, was based off the OMBC body.

My guess is that if Mego even acknowledged the bionics, it would be a sticker on the arms and legs.
