I'm curious. If Hasbro released new Marvel characters in the 9 inch scale, but fixed it so outfits could be removed (like Megos), would you buy them? I know some here had issues with the original 9 inch line because they did not wear outfits that could be removed. This would likely mean new bodies for them as well. So if the only difference were nine inches instead of eight, would you buy them?

What if Hasbro released Marvel heroes like Megos?

I would actually have to see them first before I could make a decision to purchase. After all seeing is believing. If they were nicely done and nicely packaged and reasonably priced with removeable clothing I would more than likely buy into them.
However, I really like to stay in the 8" format since most all of my vehicles and playsets are in that scale.
If they would go as far as to make them in 9" why not just make them in 8" scale instead? I believe that they would sell so much better. Would that really be too much to ask?
I never could quite understand why figures are made in 3.75", 9", 12" and even bigger yet formats other than 8". For some reason the 8" line keeps being over looked and not even made or thought of in most cases. I don't get it??Enjoy what you like, and let others enjoy what they like. (C) Azrak 2009

Hasbro's 9" bodies were originally developed for the dc figures as a response to the famous covers? Is that correct?
Interesting that Hasbro has put out 8" figures of movie cap and Thor recently, but unfortunately there really isn't much appeal in terms of articulation or even the sculpts compared to the smaller version figures they did in 3 3/4"Comment

Ohh, the outfits can be removed. Just need a exacto knife. I honestly don't see the appeal or removable clothing, unless you like to play dress up or customize. Its more critical of a feature for Barbie, GI Joe, Captain Action or Action Jackson.You must try to generate happiness within yourself.

I'd only buy them if they were made in such a way that they'd fit in with my mego collection. If they were too modern or deviated too far from 70's figs, I'd pass.Check out my website: Megozine Covers - HomeComment

Probably not.
It frustrated me that they (Hasbro, Playmates and Toybiz) insisted on making them out of scale with the classic Mego superhero and trek lines. It made no sense, to me, especially when Toybiz heavily promoted Famous Covers, at first, as Megos reborn and then they ended up totally out of scale.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

I quite liked the Origins figures, and was really sorry that they didn't do better. Had they or the DC Hasbro been in 8" size, I would have been absolutely delighted with them.
I do have to say, Famous Covers and the Hasbro figures did get me back into Megos. The facial expressions and some of the proportions don't quite hold up now, but for me at the time, that was Mego reborn. I think many others felt the same at the time when the good Doc Mego had yet to appear out of the wilderness like Moses, bearing his shiny repro body and goods.Comment

And Famous Covers, for all of it's proportion issues and never ending open-mouth expressions, got the ball rolling, bringing the Mego universe back from extinction. So they will always have a special place in my thoughts. And there are many figures within that series which I really like too. So it's not like it was a bad series. I just think of how much better it would have been had they gotten their quality control in order sooner. You can almost say that with any new line that comes out. But still a fun series nonetheless.Last edited by MIB41; Jul 19, '11, 1:45 PM.Comment
