Mego and Marvel

[zeedox]

I can almost see the day we click a link and hasbro pulse shows the coolest Mego FOUR pack ever! :-)

[fun guy]

Yeah,count me in.I want to see marvel comics 8-inch action figures from hasbro and mego

If any of the decision makers on the side who holds the Marvel license have a soul, they will GLADLY let Marty reproduce the very figures which paved the way for their existence.

I would be happy if they could get the rights to do a Spiderman 50 th anniv. figure

I agree, Spider-Man and Captain America since they were actually the very first Marvel characters mego made on the type-1 bodies.

I would be happy if mego could at least get the rights for those two figures.

45 years later ... and still no The Incredible Hulk TV Series figures.

I don't have any thoughts about what the chances may be, but I am hoping that they can work out a way for it to happen. I gave up on finding a non-zombie Mr. Fantastic a long time ago and I would like to add a few others I don't have to my display such as Green Goblin and Lizard.

I’m guessing even if Mego got Marvel, we probably wouldn’t see Iron Man with a nose this time.

If Mego got Marvel, it would likely be a deal through collaboration with Hasbro these days, similar to what they did with Ghostbusters. Hawking 50th Anniversary type figures is probably Mego's best bet, as the DC 50th figures seem to be doing well. They sold out at my Walmart stores well before Christmas, and I don't exactly live in a hotbed of toy and Mego collectors...

Given the Mouse House's tight controls and probably HUGE asking fees for licensing, I can't imagine Mego agreeing on a price.

BUT... I could see Mego expanding the live to include some of today's MCU-popular characters like Guardians or Ant Man and the Wasp.

Yes, exactly. I mentioned this in another thread as well, I think. Read some of the nightmare stories about how Disney’s overbearing micromanaging has nearly killed the Star Wars lines from Hasbro. Star Wars used to be an evergreen line when it came to toys, now so much of the product is just dying on shelves or getting shipped off to Ollie’s, Big Lots, Five Below, and other discount chains. They STILL have product from TFA and TLJ rotting away on their shelves.

Getting the Marvel license would be the icing on the cake for Mego. Definitely Spider-Man and Captain America, Iron Man and Thor, a correct size Hulk maybe a little bigger than the others say 10 inches and the Fantastic Four. For villains, Goblin, Dr. Doom and Loki.

[zeedox]

I am sure Hulk, Iron-Man, Thor, Captain America would be a hit. Anyone think they might outsell Superman, Batman, Robin etc?

[monitor_ep]

They said maybe in the live stream.
To be truthful I do not know who I would want besides the Spidey villains. I have the others.

[Mego-Amigo]

In the last Livestream Marty was asked about Marvel. His comment was that they are past "no". I would love to see 50th anniversary versions of the Marvel characters with never produced characters added.
