Wave 4 speculation

[darkmonkeygod]

I'm speculating we'll finally get that "Chaney Entertainment" Mummy (with the original EMCE prototype head sculpt).

That "original EMCE prototype head sculpt" turned out to be a bit of an embarrassment for EMCE, as I remember. It was cast from an AHI head without the knowledge that AHI's heads were in their turn cast from the Aurora heads. So it's a third-hand Bill Lemon Mummy! Beyond that hurdle, that version of the Mummy is Universal's and legally actionable, I believe. A one-eyed Mummy is like a Frankenstein's Monster with bots in his neck, a Drac with a medallion, or a white streak running up either side of a pale woman's blown-out beehive hairdo: Universal property.

The pre-transformed into a Screaming Werewolf Mummy might fit the bill, and maybe a brush up on Chaney Jr's turn in that episode of Route 66 where he dresses up as a Mummy could inform it and still give us a pretty cool Chaney Jr. Mummy.

I'd love a Kharis-style Mummy too!

I'd love that!

That list feels really close. My changes are tweaked more towards what's selling? Visually arresting characters. So monsters/aliens/fantasy. ....
Monsters - Mummy

whew.
that felt good.

I really missed these from the FTC Friday announcements thread...

I would hope they would finish out KISS with Ace and Peter, and the best way would be as a 2 pack that included the drum kit.

If Mego Corp. won't reproduce vintage Dorothy's basket and Toto, I can't imagine a proper drum set. Cardboard diorama, perhaps.

A dark hair peg bundy could be Jemma from Sons of Anarchy but I would need Ron Perlman
for a Clay Morrow figure

Going back through interviews with Marty about Mego, it seems that Target was the motivator on what tv series they put out, so make sure you go back and look at the TV on DVD section to see what they have on the shelves before adding names.

Marty said no to Breaking Bad in an interview, sorry.

Unfortunately, I think a Penguin in the 14" format wouldn't work. But Riddler? Awesome.

[rlkrefft]

I’d love to see Robin, Penguin, Supergirl and Aquaman for wave 4.

[Krypt0nite]

I wonder if Star Trek is a possibility in the 14-inch scale?

[Boywonder0]

"The 14 inch is shoulder shrugging, because they have a lot to choose from: Robin, Cheetah, Aquaman, Black Manta, Captain Cold, Sinestro, Catwoman, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Firestorm, Killer Frost (Classic), Riddler, Penguin,... and so on and so on and so on...."

Yes! Robin! Please!
