The big announcement is.....

[ovenmitt]

Now I am excited to see what licenses the 20 new characters cover and what the other formats are in addition to 8" which is still best scale.

that belongs to Hasbro, it was mentioned.

Bummer, figured as much. But thank you for the info.

Yeash, people complaining about a delay in announcements, realy? MEGO IS COMING BACK!!!! That's incredible, and even if they make stuff I am not into, I am super excited they are back and wish them nothing but the best of luck!

I think the complaining may be from losing a bit of perspective as we have been speculating about this for a while and it may have made the official announcement today seem anticlimactic without all of the details. But we really didn't know anything for certain until today and now we do. And it is good news, indeed!

Holy crap it's only two more weeks. And ripped off? It was a huge thrill to see Marty talk and meet him and shake his hand. I could have listened to him all day.

Did they mention if Mego got the rights back to Micronauts?

So, 20 new 8-inch characters made by Mego? That is an awesome announcement!!! Going to be excited to hear the details of this!

Wonderful news! Meh, a couple more weeks is nothing! Just more time for the excitement to build!

[cockyhoskins]

Hah! For so many years we've been saying Mego-like or repro or whatever! Now we can just say Mego figures!

20 new characters sounds great! Wish I was there to hear him talk, but I cannot wait until they announce the lines!

This is news I never thought I'd hear again, and to think Marty is involved as well. I could have envisioned someone buying the trademark and using the name to make new Mego-like figures, but this is actually Marty reviving THE Mego Corp!

Unbelievable!

I wrote “repros” as well. I think it’s just a force of habit; in this case since we’ve thought of Mego as a past company for so long. Pretty exciting stuff.

Will the Newsletter be delayed by a day? I just figure it's usually out on Fridays and the 16th is a Saturday.

[hobub]

Thanks! Can you say how many licenses and if there will be repros in addition to the 20 new characters?

Oh boy 8" and other formats! Hopefully 12" and pocket heroes!

Not repros but actual Mego. Could be re issues like the 1979 Superman was a reissue if the 1972 Superman. But that line never halted production in between. But that is excellent news. Cannot wait to know what. I hope for the sake of most here it’s superhero related but 8” format was their signature for more than just the superheroes.

[hobub]

That Is excellent.

[Werewolf]

More like 35 years. Two more weeks is nothing.

I totally agree.
