The big announcement is.....

[bmattioli]

Personally I'm going to stick with the vintage, maybe there will be a sell off of the old school Megos with folks in search of the new line.. Can't even imagine chasing a new line I'm a 70's child..

What about Sid & Marty Krofft properties? I'd totally be into Bigfoot & Wild Boy, Electra Woman & Dyna Girl, and/or Land Of The Lost figures.

^ Excellent idea!!!

Did anyone post the full video of Marty's announcement? I thought I saw it. Would love to watch it all over again. Someone told me a very handsome man stands up at one point and models a t-shirt. LOL

I think we are going to get 5 New Trek characters, 5 New Marvel Superheroes, 5 New Monsters , and 5 New Ape characters .... all by Mego.

They said different scales ....maybe a continuation of Buck Rogers I know I know wicked long shot but I want my hawk dammit. And doubt Trek because mcfarlane toys has the master toy license.

Oh, my God! That would be so awesome... Frankly any other license would be an easy pass for me...
And EMCE did start these lines and left incompleted.

That would be cool, but with Star Trek logically Sulu and Chekov, but diamond select already made those, so why bother doing it over again, Harry Mudd would be a nice addition along with Nurse Chapel and Janice Rand, possible a correct version Talosian and Klingon Kor, at least that would be my picks. For WGSH POTA and Mad Monsters, I wouldn't know.

The key point is retail. Marty says at one point he wouldn't have come back to do hundred-run productions, as it's too hard of work to get right (for such a small amount). Apes, Trek and Universal Monsters don't have the brand strength today they did twenty years ago.

Your modeling debut I fear may also be your swan song.

I like the idea of continuing Marvel, Trek, Apes and Monsters.

What if there are 4 figures per wave what would 5th license be?

Marvel- Iron Man, Hulk and Falcon reissues with Infinity War out. Complete Fantastic 4 wave with F4 comic book returning

Trek- Classic Kirk and Spock variants, Chapel, Vina, Rand, more Aliens. Next Generation

Apes- Taylor, Nova, TV apes?

Monsters- Invisible Man, Hunchback, Dr Frankenstein, Igor

5th wave Unless FTC has a lock on all DC then DCEU and CW DC TV, Star Wars is still a fantasy.

Besides 8" what licenses in other formats- 12"? Pocket?

If the big cheeses are reading this...please...PLEASE do an ALIEN line.

Humans: Ripley, Bishop (ok, Android, lol), Vasquez, Hicks, Hudson, Dallas. Xenomorphs: Big Chap, Dog Alien, Alien Queen. Ships: Nostromo, Sulaco, Derelict Ship, APC. Weapons: Pulse Rifle, Incinerator, Smartgun...

...do that...and I’ll buy every single figure twice...at least...

I'll 2nd that! If the NEW Mego Corp. is going to anything like the "old Mego"...then they will hire really talented Sculptors. The likeness's on the original Megos still hold up today(Star Trek for example!)!!

I think this is the type of license they have to go for. It's weird. Old guys (like us) aren't into the newer licenses as much, but a newer and/or popular license has to be taken into consideration for sales. Marty Croft action figures sound like the biggest peg warmers of all time. Can't do that. Same with other older licenses. Buck Rogers? NO WAY. It has to be along the lines of Alien. I think a Princess Bride line could do okay because it has a cult fanbase and have never had figures made for it. This is going to be interesting.

[kerowack]

Yeah but Mego made Happy Days, Welcome Back Kotter, Space 1999, Monsters, Knights, Planet of the Apes, Chips, Star Trek, etc. The Marvel/DC thing is what made them Mego. And I say it again, modern kids in general are not going to be interested in Mego style figures. They had better maximize the collector market who are actually interested in this type of figure. Marvel and DC are the heavy hitters in that market, Star Wars and Star Trek are up there, but I don't see any Star Wars megos being made at least not any good ones. There would have to be a lot of unique parts and tooling, alien and droid parts, etc. It would be expensive if they didn't go lame.

We all have side want lists of shows and junk that would be cool, but today's Mego is not going to be able to be the Mego of the 70s. In the 70s it was the style of figure was hot and they could make any license and it would sell some. Today the style of figure is not as hot, they will have to hit big licenses to carry any smaller ones later.

Exactly. I agree with this entire post.
