Where is May 29 CLUE?

If a third party was re doing the book than it would probably have Emce, and Castaway, but since FTC is doing this, it won't. The Castaway Phantom should be in it
because it's the best remego ever.

Decided to be lazy & Copy & Paste my "BUZZ" forum post lol!

YAY! I never knew about this book until the price was too high to procure a copy! Now hopefully the price will be affordable! Congrats to Ben & I only have 1 question for FTC:

FTC: are the FTC WGH "Super Gals" (Wonder Woman, Batgirl, & Supergirl) you photograph for the book going to be what we received (no necks), or will you photograph the prototypes?

Either way I am excited to get a copy of this book FINALLY!!!!

*Very good announcement for the "Holcombless" Folks like me!

Thats what I would be a little concerned about... if it's all Mego stuff with 10 pages of FTC stuff... that's really kind of more like an FTC commercial in a Mego book. If you are trying to truly expand the book to show the new era of Mego.. then you should include Famous Covers, Retro-Action, the EMCE/DST stuff, the FTC stuff, Zica and Castaway, etc.

I can't believe anyone actually thinks they'd even consider marketing for their competition, however worthy.

I see the book as a necessary resource for all of us Mego fans... and a lot of us weren't able to get it the first time around (I have the electronic copy). If the price to have FTC reprint it in hardback is a 10-page advertisement for their products, then I'll accept that!

Although I do agree with the comments that it would be nice to have a volume two that addresses the other lines and more modern reMegos!

Well I guess it depends on who chose the extra material, if they paid Ben to reprint the book and he chose the extra material, then it would probably include all of it. If FTC chooses the extra material then it will be all FTC stuff, in which case I will just keep the old copy of the book I already have.

I mean if it was my book, I wouldn't reprint my book and let one company use it to just advertise their products... so I could see a scenario where Ben chose the extra material.

You haven't really thought about this, have you?

[jayraytee]

Yes I have. I used to work for a few music groups, one of them have a four album set that came with a book that had all the lyrics and a story that came with each of the four albums. One company called M8 paid for the printing of the book and the deal was structured where they would have their label name on the back and they would have the majority of them to sell... but that was the extent of their materiral on the book. If it was me and it was my Mego book, I would work out the same kind of deal. But somethinmg tells me the deal was set up where it just is a reprint of the book with just FTC junk at the end.

I anxiously await your Mego book.

The world needs more Mego books.

I'd like a new copy. I "lost' my signed copy somewhere, and don't know where my beat and battered copy is. I used to take it with me in my backpack everywhere I went. I'd like to see FTC put out a book with all their stuff since 2004.

I’m very happy for the reprint of the book since I missed out the first time.
And I’ve just got to put in my two bits by say that it seems to me if FTC is the sole company that is flipping the bill to reprint the book, then they have the exclusive rights to put whatever extra material at the end that they want to. Anyone that has a problem with the FTC material inclusion and that the other ReMego companies aren't mentioned - and why would they be since they didn't help fund the project - then simply don't buy the reprint and don't complain about it.
Honestly though, I gotta say what I feel would've been ridiculously cool would have been if someone had reached out to each of the other ReMego companies and given them the opportunity to put in their bids for a portion of the pie to have the book reprinted with all of their respective companies being mentioned at the end of the book and details of their individual offerings both past and present. Now, that may have made just about everyone happy.
But I'm happy as it is and I'm thankful for FTC's offerings and I will buy this reprint.
