[QUOTEAlso wondering how much the Munchkins were selling for.[/QUOTE]

I've seen them going for $75 plus for a loose example in fair condition....a MIB flower girl $150 easily.

A dearth? Or an abundance ?

Yeah, I probably should have phrased that better.

What shop in TO has vintage toys?

Took the words right out of my mouth! Also wondering how much the Munchkins were selling for.

[warlock664]

That has left a dearth of MIB figures even today and it makes the basic figures quite affordable.

Quality and strange decisions are what worry me most about this relaunch.

Bad likenesses, corner cutting, etc. is bad business, especially for a toy line that, while historically, made sure things were cost effective, still made sure the sculpts were good, and the characters were properly outfitted.

Poor character selection, eliminating key wardrobe, poor licensing choices, and badly made accessories are not wise in the long run.

That said, this is, ostensibly a new company, and growing pains happen. I'm willing, in the short term, to forgive some production mishaps, or poor predictions, so long as those issues don't remain endemic down the road.

That said, the Joker's coat, to me, is a problem. It is an iconic, and in my opinion, necessary part of the character's overall look. Omitting it, in my opinion, is on par with cutting Batman's cape.

Yes, the approach to the new Toto and basket really bothers me.

[Werewolf]

But painted on socks for Dorothy and that frickin basket and Toto combo is just plain sad looking.

I really disliked the painted socks but that new Toto basket thing was deal breaker for me.

My local comic/ action figure shop in Toronto has 3 of the 4 boxed Mego Munchkins in stock ... They're so darned cute!

Yeah...I'm not sure about the munchkins..I'm not too impressed with them. But I vividly remember having the Lion and Tin-man when I was a kid.
Again tho ..I have some real concern over how they'll handle him in the new line. I mean the lion looks amazing in his new suit. But painted on socks for Dorothy and that frickin basket and Toto combo is just plain sad looking. I'd need to be convinced the Witch would be worth it to buy that set.
I am hoping that they do the Winkie guards and flying Monkeys as a two pack...now that...I'd buy a bunch of...

C'mon Marty...give us some winged simians to harass our heroes.

I decided to pass on the Mego Munchkins--I like the playset but not the dolls. Their price made them easy to forego, too. But I bought all of the Barbie Munchkins : They are beautifully made and coordinate very well with the Mego line.

I'm noticing the same low prices on the EMCE Star Trek line.
I had to sell mine a few years back.
Now I have been picking them all back up for $30 and less.

[Werewolf]

Every line has its scare gems, though--Munchkinland and the witch's castle are terrific.

To be clear I'm not knocking the line. I have a full set of the dolls minus the Munchkins which I don't care for. I think the Oz dolls are some of Mego's best work. You can really tell they put a lot of money and effort into them.

[Werewolf]

Basically, the Oz line was really popular and Mego made like a bajillion of them. Except for the Munchkins, the majority of them are super common. They were also collected more by adult doll and Oz collectors, than kids, which is why they are still so plentiful MIB.
