New Licensees Chance Of Happening

[palitoy]

I still think there is plenty of life for a Dr Who line. At least hammer out the rest of the Drs, maybe with a companion or two for each, and the main villains. I think that line showed that it has legs and people will buy it.

I think Doctor Who would sell as well but I don't think the BBC has any interest in allowing anybody to do retro figures again. They seem to only want Character Options to produce merch like that for them.

Archer would sell well I think. Venture Brothers proved that. There have been hints that once they are past wave 1, there will be new bodies, so they could easily do a bustier female body.

My personal "Just because I want it!" would be Battle of the Planets. 5 main characters, a couple of side kicks/supporting characters, Zoltar and a bunch of henchmen!

Galactica has not been done well or completed...
Apes & Buck No Mego could do them justice
V,Airwolf and others would have more appeal than the current tv mego lines

Maybe Micronauts

V and Airwolf appeal to you, but to the general public? not so much.
Apes were tried by EMCE and Neca and didn't get beyond one wave and Buck got two figures done and nothing past it.
If sales were there for Galactica it would have been completed but it did not happen. The sales may have been killed by poor execution.

Just a little 70s TV ripe for Megos

[p3ss3ssod]

Has anyone suggested an 8" M*A*S*H line?
That's gotta be a ticks-all-the-boxes possibility with Mego.

Would love to see anything V related, but am very aware it's probably note a viable license.

It feels like the Wave 1 line up is a litmus test for what people are interested in.

Some TV show licenses, like Brady Bunch, is going to need a lot more than 3 waves to give any kind of completion to (2 packs could be a good option though). Same with Cheers, you're looking at 6 more characters to make that anything worthy of the license (Sam, Diane/Becky, Cliff, Woody/Coach, Frasier, Lilith and Carla). I'm hoping the future announced licenses do more classic tv shows from the 60s, Get Smart, Wild Wild West, Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea, Time Tunnel, etc. Shows with two main leads so the line doesn't require a tonne of committment to a lot of characters/likensses.

I just hope new Megos keep pushing the 'these are the figures you wish you had in the 70s/80s in Mego's hey day' mentality.

[powersthatbe]

Eh, properties like Airwolf and Knight Rider I would say no to unless a in scale vehicle is included.(not saying a in scale helicopter or car for 8 inch figures wouldn't be cool lol )

[palitoy]

I could not say no to "V" figures. Helmeted lizard guards versus Action Jackson!

I'd pretty much buy them in any format save for MOTU.

I don't get why V hasn't been done by anybody. Even if it didn't include actor likeness it seems a slam dunk to do some generic visitors.

SW and Marvel odds are pretty bad I'd say.
McFarlane still has WD I think, so that's not available
Green Hornet probably has a shot
They already have some access to DC so Mattel is open to sharing the rights with them, so it might give Mego an in road to He-Man
Galactica has been done
Apes and Buck Rogers have fallen flat for other companies already
NOTLD maybe
Conan looks to be available, FTC isn't doing any more with it
Busters may have a chance
Airwolf has really limited appeal, I could see Knight Rider happening sooner
V?? Not sure if it has any appeal outside fringe folks

Golden Age Superheroes of any sort might be a good idea to get people's attention, bright colorful figures will draw attention to displays and cross into comic shop types too.

I dunno about Thundercats. Between Mattycollector's line going nowhere and Super7 getting shot down to take over, WB has some issue with the license. And since this is a WB property and 8-inch, I would think FTC would get first right of refusal. Maybe they got the rights which is what schtupped Super7?

[Mego Newbie14]

I thought mattel had the rights to Thundercats?

[Werewolf]

Dungeons and dragons- No. Owned by Hasbro.
Motu- No. The rights are complicated. Universal and Mattel. Mattel has the rights to any mass market action figure line.
Thundercats-Yes
Star Wars- No
