How much?

I'd pay $20 for the ones I want (and probably even more for brand new well done sculpts and characters), and I expect most of us would as well, at least if they were distributed over a period of time and not all at once. Of course that would limit the appeal to mainly adult higher end collectors and not the true market for a large distribution toy, kids and casual collectors alike.

I think that these figures would probably end up retailing below the $10 price point if done as a mass market rollout, and I think that price point could easily be supported if done right, with a common maker of Marvel and DC product, under a common product banner like WGSH. This is truly the only model I can see working well, and hopefully being extended to other popular licenses, including major movie releases and cartoon characters. Whatever the hot licenses are that could fit into the interchangeability model Mego made so popular, and toys like MiniMates has borrowed so successfully.

I would think the most likely scenario however would be someone getting the license from one of the two companies, not being able to use the WGSH banner, and ending up in the similar dreaded price point around $15.

The thing I find interesting is that even though there are such a variety of figures these days, kids still love playing with Megos, I wonder if it is the cloth clothes or what?

How much do I think they'd cost or how much am I willing to pay for them? Clearly, those are two different questions.

I think you asked the former so I'd say most likely $15.99. That is assuming they are still trying to sell these to kids. If they resigned themselves to selling to collectors (which is what it feels like EMCE is doing) then I think they could cost as much as $24.99.

For me personally, at around $10, I'd snag up a bunch. As the price went higher, I'd become less inclined to buy anything that Mego had already done.

Dave and Scott, I have to admit I have the same reaction to a mass-produced $20 Kirk or Klingon that many people do- I pass. I'd rather spend more for an original. Now I do have the Andorian. That is, until I finally score a loose original.

$9.99 sounds good to me

If they were released at $14.99 I'd gladly snap them up but I expect that the UK price would be £14.99(Around $30)!!!!

I would also pay $20 for each figure.

I think for a "mego" flash or green lantern or my favorite choice for a "mego" figure would be Black Manta, I'd go as high as 25-30 for these without a second thought.

I'd do that for the new Khan too. I think it's cool to finally have a new figure added to the line and I'm not a star trek collector or at least I wasn't until I seen the fantastic figures at the mall at fye.
