Ubercool!!! I want mine NOW!!!!

[megojim]

Great stuff Paul. Love the Working Stiffs!

The final price is still being worked on - based on number ordered and
the retail location, but $29.99 is roughly where we're heading - but
I can't say for certain.

My son is all over these. What's the retail on these?

The figures are 4 inches tall - the same scale as Star Wars:Power of the Force,
Super Powers, Secret Wars, all the Toy Biz superheroes of the 1990s, Playmates
Star Trek line - this is our reach out to the '80s and '90s kids who don't
like MEGO because of the doll costumes.

The achilles heel of mego style customizing is sewing the costumes and
casting the boots, gloves, belts, etc. - this allows the customizer total
freedom of design.

Given how crowded the specific 80's themed toy shows are these days, it sounds like a really good move to try out this direction. A thirty dollarvprice point for three figures is pretty much in line with the ten dollars retail that 4" figures are selling for these days.

I'd buy that for a dollar! Or thirty of 'em!

That's definitely tapping into a big market place. Great idea! I think Doc will make a boatload off this.

[Nostalgiabuff]

very cool. are these resin cast bodies or are they regular vinyl/plastic mix we see on figures of that scale?

Thanks Doc. That's a fair price for 3 figures and paints, etc. Most plastic figure kits cost around that at hobby stores.

Any idea on the release date?

Neat idea. And that box design is absolutely incredible.

The kits will be PVC and will probably arrive by August - September in time
for the holiday season.

Paul, Playmates Trek line in the `90's was 5" but the 2009 line was 4". You're not mixing up the lines are you? Most people conveniently forget the `09 movie line because it looked so bad.

What can you tell us about female custom super-heroes? Any plans for a female body?

What about clear bodies for Micronauts customizers?

Will you introduce more variations on body types, body heights and more heads for greater range if these take off, (like maybe an expansion pack or something)?

MEGO had Comic Action Heroes and Emce has this.
