Titans Nightwing loose. Someone has one on Ebay in package at $59.99 and 11.99 shipping. I wasn't aware Figures did a second NightwingComment

I would only sell these in lots because I don't need the money and their loose . I have too much stuff in storage and as I get older I don't need to keep
tubs of loose figures in storage . It's too bad about the Mego third party thing it looks like No Wave 19Comment

I was looking forward to Luthor, Cyborg, and especially Hawkman. I'm a bit broken-hearted about Hawkman.
I'm still surprised at how the Atlas stuff was produced & dumped, but no more DC figures. *sigh*

and likely ponying up to help cover production costs had a lot to do with those reaching market while the DC figs haven't. Same with the Marvel. Had Walmart not been pushing them and carrying them in allegedly their brick and mortar stores and website and it had just been EE or BBTS for path to market like the DC, I'm not sure we would have seen the Atlas gigs at all.
It's tough out there for small businesses to get product to market, especially when you are trying to keep MSRP in the neighborhood of $20-25ish with what production costs are in the current global market. Disney and Atlas/Walmart have more resources to make that happen than a small company like Mego would alone. As I said before, disappointed, but not surprised. But then there were a lot of figures shown by Mego at Toy Fair (like Canary) that I was really interested in, but they never made it to market either and those were in more favorable economic circumstances for production of good, especially in China. A lot has changed in that market since 2018, and not much of it was foreseeable.

I hope they finish Disney Marvel sets because that's all that some of us have left . Thank you to the wise members here who picked up on this third party thing because some of us have been asking here with crickets about DC . It's too bad because there are members here that know the answers
but can't share the info for various reasonsComment

It honestly feels like Mego is just done...I haven't seen any news on new stuff at all...Wanted:
Diamond select Spider-man hands. Long shot, I know...but ya never know..Comment

I do not see it that way. The Marvel sets are a new direction for them while they work out new investment partners on the rest. Business is business, **** happens.
They did say a new horror release is due this year. Looking forward to it.
I wish them luck since want more Mego to come out.
Smaller run might be realistic, who knows. We are not part of planification.
all I know is that sculptors are still working from bed...

For me, in the absence of affirmative statements from new Mego for a good long while, I view this issue as follows: if they were still planning to release new Mego-style DC-licensed figures in 2026 and beyond, after a long hiatus for Marvel and Atlas figures, wouldn't something have been said by now?
I'm not super plugged in, but the last interview with the principals of new Mego that I remember was on the Brick Mantooth YouTube Channel. It was about 6 months ago. They were heavily promoting the modern, AI-powered version of their 1970s 2-XL electronic robot toy, which they said would be available for purchase on Amazon by last Christmas. I never saw it for sale, and checked again on Amazon just now. No listing.
Only at the end of that video, when Brian pressed them (apologetically) about upcoming Mego-style figures, did they make a vague reference to upcoming licensed, horror-themed figures.
I expect that substantially everyone reading this post is in their 50s+. We've all lived full lives. I think we can all draw reasonable conclusions about how likely it is that we will ever ever see any of the additional DC Mego-style characters previoysly teased.Comment

It's too bad on wave 19 and the Supergals. They should have repackaged the carded Wonderwoman in a 50th box in place of waiting for a Mego
upgrade on the Supergals that will never come.I am happy to at least get Marvel Spidey, FF and Avengers but will not put too much hope on what is coming next. If DC or Star Trek had more stuff coming than that would have been announced with the unknown horror mego and the 1970's Robot
that is'nt available. Disney Marvel might be the last new Mego but who knows ? Every thing is top secretComment

I feel the Disney stuff is it, seems Mego hasn't the licenses or resources to produce figures I'd hoped for for decades.

Mego gave a good run on Monsters, Star Trek, POA etc.I still really liked Action Jackson Mego but did'nt like ,or buy any 14" DC figures . The 14" DC looked off and the carded Superman and Batman have giant heads ( unlike the 50th versions).If Disney is all that's left with 7 more and Falcon than lets hope for the best choices .
