I worry the vinyl market is kinda oversaturated and it's going to be challenging to compete with Funko. But I'm happy for people that like them.

I'm just wondering if the heads are removeable and close to 1:9

A sharp knife will take them right off, I'd assume.

My guess would be they wouldn't be...

The head of those figures is about a third of it so the heads are around 1.4 inches

cute but I would have loved to add them to the Mego collection. Boyfriend would have gone crazy with the Squid Game figures. I have been wanting Stranger Things Megos for awhile.

Surprised not to see any Mego branding on the boxes.

I know back in the day Mego made a lot of other things besides the 8" super-heroes, and I get that a company has to branch out. If this helps the company profitable so more 8" figures can be made, that's good. I just hope the company isn't overextending itself right now, that's all. These do look good. Don't know if it can compete with Funko Pops but they look quality and they are getting the rights to popular franchises. It does seem like a miss that "Mego" isn't branded prominently on the boxes though.

Point taken. However, even if they'd size up in comparison to a standard Mego figure's head, I'm guessing they'd still look wonky.

Unless a person likes that style better.

Whoa ok. These figures aren't my bag and it seems like Funko does the same thing already.
But I will admit i don't know what's popular with pop culture merchandise these day. Back in the 70's you had 4 channels so superfriends, Six million dollar man , Scooby-Doo were what kids were into. Now there is 10 different streaming apps so not everyone is watching the same thing. I don't think mego should be withholden to the 8" mego style but I'd like them to focus on retro friendly properties.
Just my thoughts.

These are pretty cool, I especially like Hopper, the face looks kind of like Yukon Cornelius.

This is exactly my perspective on these. I'm not interested but if they help the company without putting financial outlays too far ahead of revenue, then great for Mego!
