Unless they decide to make the characters Mego skipped, like the rest of the kids, Ike and Corabeth, Baldwin sisters
most likely not but it's nice to wish.
You can buy loose cheap looking or incomplete Mego Waltons on eBay for around $15 or more, then there's shipping, but nice clean complete loose or the two together in the window box can be a little pricey, seems the Grandparents are the most expensive of the sets.
Collecting all (6) complete in the widow boxes can be pricey, but not completely out of the realm.Leave a comment:

My only fear is thatI think FTC should start trying to be more relevant by doing more recent things like the CW live action DC characters. They also need to work on their distribution channels.
I would be all over 2 packs with the original Mego style Green Arrow with the new Arrow.

1. They would be insanely expensive, esp if they were the quality of the Batman 66 line.
We're talking $90+ two packs, which either would be short run ( and retired early at 100 packs) or
or single $30 to $35 figs with very nice detailing and zero accessories....Remember MR Freeze?
how hot was everyone when he had no freeze rifle? Imagine Arrow with no quiver or bow......
or
2. They would be retreads cheaply made that customizers would go "I could do better THAN that..."
A bunch of their already gloved and booted bodies, short sleeve costumes, and female sculpts
for Black Canary, Felicity, and Jesse Quick that would make us mad for years.......
If they are listening and they do decide to pursue the CW license, they gotta get a better sculptor
and better QC. The Arrow & Flash figures in the DC Multiverse line currently at retail would be their
competition, so they'd have to match or better that.Leave a comment:

Why would FTC make $30 Waltons that would compete with the $15 Mego ones?Leave a comment:

Fairy tales would be nice too. As long as they don't resemble any of the Disney versions, it would all be good.
Cinderella, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, etc.Leave a comment:

I buy CHEAP Oz lots regularly on Ebay for parts. I would hate to see them roll the dice on something so commonly available in vintage for less than they could afford to retail it. $30 - $35 gets a nice vintage Oz figure.Oz would be an odd line, unless they did a very expanded line. I mean, WOZ is one of the few lines that Mego really did "right" and nailed all the principles, had a playset, etc. Not much room for anything new and it's one that you can acquire for really cheap even now. So I can't see a big market for re-Mego there.Leave a comment:

Wizard of Oz is a classic, so I am sure there would be a market. But it might be an expensive license. And MGM may have already sold that license away those rights to someone making fashion dolls.
Waltons, Starsky & Hutch, and CHiPS have not had those kind of legs. Waltons usually go cheaply on eBay. My guess is the vintage figures do a sufficient job meeting the demand for those.
X Files is an interesting option. My first thought is there are only 2 figures anybody would want to buy. Sure, fans would love a Mulder and Skully... but who wants a Cigarette Smoking Man and Assistant Director Skinner figure? But it could actually be a clever way to market a monster line without having the Universal Monsters license. The show certainly had its share of werewolves, vampires, aliens, etc, I am not sure if any of them are iconic enough designs to work... sadly, it has been too long since I watched the show.Leave a comment:

V would be fantastic. As would Robin Hood, the Three Musketeers, Captain Nemo, etc.Leave a comment:
