I am not a big Kiss fan so I'm not the target audience for this, but I am still very excited to see such a big commitment to the re-Mego revolution. Very cool news.

[Mego Milk]

wow!
cool news!
Nobody saw that one coming!
huge.

[piecemaker]

Awesome news!!!

The first I heard about these was today when I went to the Facebook app. on my TV. On the app. was the video with them showing the packaging. I was dumbfounded "waitaminute, is someone doing KISS figures?"

Great news for this KISS fan!

My friend Joe Sena - the other half of EMCE Toys - asked me to post this for him.

"i wish them a lot of luck -- they've now got a $100K guarantee to make back, and they certainly paid it up front. however, given the size of the kiss fan base, it's a smart move; we had the chance but there was no way we were writing a $100K check before even going into production. the 12" line is an even smarter hedge; we would never have done that.

also glad to see it's being done by a real company and not a "hobby husband" using his day job money to fill some hole in his arrested development. just hope they've improved on the quality of those "happy days" figures. took us years to convince people we weren't "those guys"

kinda grateful it's happening now that we've pretty much strip-mined everything else for 8"...unless they can get "star wars" or marvel, we've pretty much done everything else (and if they do, god bless them because we tried for years). and when toy fair comes up everyone will see that we've pretty much moved on from mego, anyway except for what we're doing with dst & bbp.

hey, maybe those guys can get a wwe license and do wrestling megos, since they're in that world. i'd really like a bruno sammartino or mil mascaras mego, myself."

My own feelings about this is mixed. I'm glad to see that someone was willing
to pay the enormous fee to get these made - I just wish it had been me.

I really hoped the Figures Inc. has learned their lesson about quality,
and I hope these figures sell like crazy!

I wish it was you too

I kind of thought CTVT was in a place where they were just selling off old inventory now but I think they must of seen that better quality releases do come off well and got back in with KISS. I just wonder how they got the 100k.

2012 with KISS, Battlestar Galactica and the Bionic Man!!!!! Next up is Marvel and Star Wars

I'm surprised to hear Emce has "moved on" from mego.

Did I miss something?

[The Toyroom]

When are these shipping/hitting retailers?

[galaxyexplorer42]

Wow! The Re-Mego news just doesn't stop! & It's only January of 2012.... I'll hopefully be picking up this 8" series. Apparently this is a NEW CTVT body? I hope they offer the body alone on their site. If so, I've got several CTVT figures that I'll definitely change out the body. Great news! Thanks CTVT.....

EMCE Toys is Joe Sena and Paul Clarke. Joe does not have to spend the
rest of his life making megos - even I don't have to do it for the
rest of my life - but I probably will.

The reality is the mego universe is not big enough to justify paying
big money for licenses. Bif Bang Pow does more like bobbleheads,
props, etc. to make it profitable. EMCE is looking at other types of
toys and other knick knacks.
