Mego Museum interviews Anthony Balasco of Figures Toy Company

[Goblin19]

I'd be just the opposite. I have no interest in exact replicas . New stuff is all that interests me as far as figures go. I wouldn't mind replica vehicles or playsets, though I'd still prefer new ones.

[Brown Bear]

These guys are knocking everyone's socks off.

[noelani72]

I might need a second job. Is Figures hiring?

Yes my thoughts exactly.
Maybe I should be a retailer...

Great interview.

[VintageMike]

So much good stuff here. Will definitely be buying whatever I can (that fits in with my current collection) so hopefully the these lines can continue.

[garfoot]

This has to be the best 8" news EVER!!!!!!!

[Hedji]

Someone quickly give them Marvel too!

[enyawd72]

All of DC plus playsets and vehicles?

Scuse me while I go change my shorts...

[thunderbolt]

man, do I want a batcave with 66 repurposed repro batmobile

[madmarva]

I had been holding off ordering the batman remego line, but with the word they can do all the DC characters, I'm in.

With the great sculpts I've seen so far, I dearly hope they produce a Superman that looks like Curt Swan's art.

[PNGwynne]

Aquaman vs. Great White Shark? Could this happen?

If only...

I am gobsmacked by this news.

[Chris]

I'm going to get the 8" Gilligan and Skipper just to do my part so we get the other 5 and maybe a Headhunter too.

Gilligan and Skipper will fit right in with your Lost figures. I wonder if they were actually dead too? I hope so. It would make the show really edgy.

[jwyblejr]

I'm liking the sound of this.

[Hedji]

Such amazing news. I do hope they don't revamp the classic Mego superheroes in any way. They ain't broke as far as I'm concerned. Keep em straight repros, please.

[Meule]

New DC figures? Playsets? Vehicles? Somebody pinch me, cause this has to be a dream, right?

[Timothy2251]

My hat's off to everyone at Figures Toy Co. on getting the DC license. That's one heck of a score, bar none, and I'll be more than happy to throw money their way for those figures.

Also like they're revamping Daisy Duke and her massive cranium, and the possibility of getting an 8" Ginger and MaryAnn in the Gilligan's Island line opens up all sorts of customizing possibilities for me. I will, however, be all over a Thurston Howell III figure when that becomes available.
