Mego Museum: 2021 Mego Corp Update Thread

[EMCE Hammer]

Just got word that someone is accusing me of spreading a false narrative on Instagram? I've worked for WB, I have a contract signed by me and Paul Levitz in my files behind me. I have not only the style guides I used for my Justice League products but the one Mego is using. I still work closely with someone who has both the Marvel and DC licenses to this day.

Mego whipped up an incredible prototype card for the DC heroes, it was gorgeous, a modern-day Palitoy green card with JGL (praise be his name) art.

I've seen it, heck I have the AI files on my laptop right now.

It is not mine to share but they were told to use the New 52 Style Guide, which is bland and restrictive. The elements are not my cup of tea.

Mego spent some time and money and Joel R confided to me (and I'm sure it's OK to share this) that he "really wanted to nail the DC hero packaging".

That's not misinformation, some of us just have more inside knowledge than others. Someday, hopefully, I'll be able to reveal what they had in store.

If you didn't like the card for "the Fly", yeah, I got nothing that's all Mego. Fire away.

However, licensing is something I worked in for ten years, and creativity ebbs and flows depending on who you are dealing with.

I found smaller brands easier to work with and bigger brands well, see examples below:

Hey, it's more creative than "But.....Tootie!".

I don't agree with all of Mego's design decisions but I was present in this one and the direction they wanted to go blew me away. That is a fact.

Mego Museum Gallery Update:
14" Gorn from Wave 13 added with new photographs and information

I'll reserve total judgment till I see the figure in-person, but this looks like another too-skinny Gorn, like Playmates Toys made in a 12" version years ago.
