good for Marty. I hope it is a huge success for him

[Vinny0026]

I agree - I hope this puts him back on the map - I would grab one for my kids for sure!

Read it in the paper this morning. Best of luck to him.

Interesting read.

They look really cute. Has anyone heard his thoughts on FTC's mego reissues and their new lines? Would be interesting to hear his thoughts on them.

Cool article. Best of luck to him. Besides talking about his new project he also stressed how important Toys R Us is to the health of the toy industry. I agree the toy industry (and the toy collecting hobby) would be in a world of hurt if TRU goes down.

Go Marty!!!

I remember him announcing a few years back that he had reacquired the name "Mego". I always hoped I'd see any type of toy branded "Mego" on the shelves of ToyRUs again.

I remember reading that too. never heard anything beyond that though

He's already got the hard part down with the licenses. It looks like, from that pic anyway, he has Marvel and DC. He could run with that for a while but he probably has others.

[Mr Mego]

Great news, way to go Marty!!

Looks interesting and very promising from the licenses standpoint. I wish him well and will most certainly be pulled into these by way of my daughter.

The full body plush toys are cute. The ones that are just heads are a little creepy.

So he invented Wrestling Buddies with lights? Cool.
