Mego-like Obama?

[Meule]

He has mentioned a new 8" type body but its gonna be a little different.

I know more about his other projects but I am sworn to secrecy, I can say that the boy is really coming up with some sweet ideas.

This sounds very interesting. Is Mark gonna make some sort of announcement soon?

I wonder if Robot Chicken has anything to do with this? It'd be cool to see a line of characters from them. I just hope they don't use their modified bodies, lol.

Nice... I say the more the merrier! The more figures we can put out in 8 inch format the better for everyone... We need to prove this is a viable format... We will be in the next previews with CA/DE and the Phantom and Achmed, Doc will still have Trek and Apes and NOTLD(?) if Mark goes into distribution it'll be an 8 inch figure fest!

Good news indeed!

Cool news. Can't wait to get one.

I don't think that head is as bad as the photo suggests. It's just very poorly lit. It's not great, but it's a step up from the Hot Toys 12" Obama.

looks pretty good

Mark called me last week looking for a huggy bear so he could put this together. I wanted to overnight him a body but all of my collection was in boxes.

I didn't know anything about it prior. He has mentioned a new 8" type body but its gonna be a little different.

very exciting!

I am very excited by the idea of more 8" figures and I really like that Obama and will totally buy one when it hits!

I thought about doing a bunch of these for my daughter to have fun with back when they were teaching Presidents in her school. I decided it would have been a pain to do 40 some Presidents and shot the idea out the window.

Nothing I'd ever want, I'm not into celebrity figures, but it's always cool to seem more Mego-like figures.

You wouldn't have to make 'em all, several companies already made a couple
Besides, doing a big project like that, is fun. Look at wyldpny and his Star Trek TOS customs or me and my Batman 1966 customs.

I like it. I don't think the likeness is bad but the lips are too dark and smiley and skin tone is off. However, it's just a dolly.....

It's nice to hear there might be another choice of bodies out there too. I can't wait to see more.......

[bgrimm77]

I want one.
