I do agree that the older Doc Mego(EMCE)Bodies would split at the Torso and suck the arms inside. However, I just opened my EMCE DareDevil set and the body is Excellent! It's a softer more "Mego like" plastic! It's not to tightly strung and it stands well, I have zero complaints at this time. If this is the new Mego body...then I'm happy with it.sigpicComment

That is true, mego is supposed to come out with other items besides 8 inch figures, I would like to see vehicles
make a comeback like the Spidey car, Green Arrow car, Captain America car, and new stuff like the BatBoat which
mego never added to the Batman vehicle line, and how happy I would be if new mego came out with a Star Trek
shuttle craft Galileo seven vehicle to say fit 4-6 figures, I would be standing in the warehouse parking lot to get that.
FTC has the DC license and they are doing the Batman vehicles.
Maybe Marty can get the Marvel license from Hasbro, but it may still have to be the $80 figure sets.
I think they will be able to do Stat Trek stuff but to what extreme idk.Comment

1. What license is truly available that can take up that can of peg space at a major retailer and
2. Attract a wider audience beyond adult collectors?
Some post-TRU industry stories have said Target and Walmart are planning to curate Mattel and Hasbro products pretty heavily. I'm expecting a number of their licenses to become exclusive to either store. IOW, Barbie and Marvel only available at Target, Transformers and DC at Walmart.
BUT...if it's Hot Topic, then yeah it can be whatever license, and all they have to do to make space is cut the Great Wall of Funko in half.
Actually, the firm that owns Topic is considering buying Gamestop...Mego Fortnite would be a way to revamp Gamestop into more than a trade-in store...
...all my chips are on Fortnite. The timing is perfect.

I saw a Walmart toy commercial on ABC this morning. Looked like it may have been some exclusive to the store. Maybe Mego is coming to a Walmart near you.

As far as Star Trek, I'm hoping they skip the figures already out, and focus on what's yet to be made, like Harry Mudd, Nurse Chapel and Marta Orion Slave Girl, and many others, but a Shuttle craft for say 2 figures and a Galileo seven shuttle would make this Trekkie very happy.Comment

I have been trying to think of a property they could be doing that would have enough crossover appeal to make it a hit not just with adult collectors but also kids.
As many have pointed out, most of the top properties are taken... Star Wars, DC... not sure kids today care about Star Trek or at least any Treks prior to the rebooted films.
I was thinking maybe the new Netflix Lost in Space could be something Mego would do.
I have a couple of episodes left to watch in the series, so no spoilers please, but didn't it draw huge viewership right out of the gate?
And there's already a season 2 on the way...
I don't know. As others have pointed out, what are kids really into these days?
Sure, they like the superheroes and Star Wars and Jurassic Park - but it seems like they can explore these franchises with Lego, computer games, and other activities outside of action figures.Comment
