Mego Disney Marvel wave three

[LonnieFisher]

Okay, since the second set is out, which characters do you think will be in wave three? When do you think it will get released?

Iron Man, Thor, Black Panther, and Hulk would be a cool set. Black Panther would be a great new edition to the original figures.

[Frenchy99]

I say that they will go with an avenger set.

Thor, Capt America, Iron-Man and the Hulk

It would be to fufill the originals.

But that wouldn’t fulfill the originals; what about Falcon ?

I can’t imagine they’d separate Cap and Falcon, my guess is those two will be in one set, maybe with Red Skull and someone else (Black Panther?).
Then Thor, Iron Man, Hulk and Hawkeye ?

[Krypt0nite]

I think Black Panther is probably a lock for one of the sets.

I noticed that the Invisible Woman was the first Mego female Super Heroe re issue, no other issue even on the DC side in the box format. I dont count carded figures here. I have the Justice League Wonder Woman.

Black Widow, Hawkeye have to come out together based on the Marvel films.

I like your assortments, agreed on Cap & Falcon.

If they're doing female figure, I'd love to see a Kooky Quartet-Cap, Hawkeye, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, or an original Avengers Iron Man, Thor, Ant Man and Wasp. But if it's not Avengers related I'd guess a Daredevil based set-Daredevil, Punisher, Elektra and maybe Kingpin on a muscle body or Bullseye, or just a Netflix based set-some mix of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and/or Punisher.

Captain America, Falcon, Black Panther, and Red Skull would be a great set!

In the old books, Black Widow was always with DareDevil, I would maybe put her in a DareDevil set.

Iron Man
Captain America
Hulk
new figure (The Vision)

It's been over 50 years since Black Widow was associated with Daredevil and it lasted for maybe a year in the comics. 90% of the potential customers would have no clue why Widow was in a Daredevil set and the last thing you want is customers scratching their head and using it as a reason not to make a purchase. Many older hardcore comic fans, let alone younger or casual fans don't remember or ever knew there was a link between Widow and DD. That's not something to market towards if you are looking to hook potential customers. There are many better and more logical choices to include in a DD set that fit the theme and appeal to customer sensibilities and expectations.

Thought this was to be in the early 70s accurate.

To agree with many above, I feel like the next wave will be an Avengers wave.

I feel like it will be timed and tied to the next Avengers film.

If so, I feel like that wave will definitely include Iron Man (as the original Mego figure is rare, and the character is more popular now), Captain America(maybe also a tie-in to America's 250th anniversary in 2026), Hulk (because with the Thing, Mego now has a bandless big body) and, because of the next Avengers film, Dr. Doom.

It actually lasted quite a bit longer than that - Black Widow was a fixture in DAREDEVIL from #81 through 124, nearly 4 years.
It *has* been 50 years since they co-starred together, but in my opinion she’s a better fit with Daredevil than with the Avengers from a 1970s/Bronze Age comics standpoint.
While she appeared sporadically a few time with the Avengers in the Silver Age (due to her relationship with Hawkeye), she was never an official member during that time. She and Daredevil were recruited to aid the team against Magneto in AVENGERS #111, and she hung around another issue after that, but she then returned to the west coast to be with DD.
The MCU movies have definitely led the general public to think of her as a core Avenger, though.
I think a DD/Black Widow/Punisher/Bullseye set would be cool.

[Dan2Dan]

I think a DD/Black Widow/Punisher/Bullseye set would be cool.

Personally, I feel like the biggest potential seller of all would be a Punisher 4-pack.

It could be composed of a Romita, original Punisher, a Jim Lee/War Journal Punisher, a 2000s era Punisher, and a Jon Bernthal Punisher. Its release could be timed to coincide with the next appearance of Bernthal's Punisher in a Disney movie or streaming show.

All that said, I personally can't envision Disney wanting to go there. And even though I would be a definite buyer myself, if I were a Disney executive, I would have strong reservations that the 'juice' from a Mego Punisher (or 4!) wouldn't be worth the squeeze. Such a bummer for me. But in fairness, I could understand any corporate hesitation...
