He-Man?

Would there be any possibility of He-man characters? Would love a few of the main characters.

I would say no way Mattel would let another toy co play with their house license but Mego did make GI Joe figures so …

I am not sure Mego would really bring anything to the table for He-Man. So much of the MOTU aesthetic is the rippling muscles. Mego bodies have an athletic build... but not jacked like you would need for He-Man.

I have toyed with the idea of doing ReMego MOTU size most heads could fit on the current bodies, but I never found time to work on the project.

The figure size compared to the comic book size really is different. It's like the 3.75 inch version with there "swimmer" build.

It would be cool. I'm just not sure Mattel would license it out. Mattel has become a lot more protective of the brand since Super7 had the license. License issues aside, there's the enormous amount of tooling costs that would be involved. Not just new bodies but also all the unique weapons, shields, armor, etc. that Mego would never be able to re-use.

It would probably be easier to license out Thundercats from Warner Brothers. But you still run into all the same prohibitive tooling costs.

I wouldn't mind the body difference. I already collect origins but would want Megos just to add to my Mego collection.

I don’t think so. As Conan was Mattel’s inspiration for He-Man anyway, I’d rather Mego just do Conan and other Robert E. Howard characters instead.

I'd be down for a Skeletor figure. But Mego might have to make a new super-muscular body type for it to look authentic. But then they must be working on something like that if they're going to be doing Hulk eventually.
