Any word on the Meg-Obama?

[thunderbolt]

It was posted a while back that the tiny Mego President Obama might get mass produced, any progress?

[David Lee]

Mark Huckabone was showing prototypes to some folks at the FX show. I think we overheard they were gonna debut them at San Diego... but that's hearsay and rumor at best

I saw the prototypes the other day, still ongoing.

Will this be 8" scale ?

If anything, the suit should be useable for something.

[ScottA]

Yes, 8" scale. I also saw the prototype at FX from Mark.

[MegoSteve]

Anyone have any pics yet?

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

Off the track a bit...but I saw this on Ebay today.

Yeah, BBI did a 12" W figure wearing a flight suit. It was a pretty good likeness.

I remember it well but what is BBI? Any ever made of Al Gore? I guess a cool one of him could have been made. He served in Vietnam as a cameraman. I guess one of him in jungle fatigues with a camera would work. I'd like to see a good likeness of him though.

[MegoSteve]

BBI is a toy company. They make highly detailed 1:6 scale action figures, usually military themed, but they've dabbled in other stuff like police officers and firefighters. They also did Cy-Girls. The Bush they did was a contemporary one, released a few months after he did the flight deck landing.

I'm not aware if anyone made an Al Gore, but I'd bet if they did, it'd be one of those cheaper gag dolls like those lame Talking Presidents figures. I'm not sure Gore in Vietnam would work because he looks a lot different now (polite way of saying he got fat and old). I'd rather have the contemporary Al in a suit with a slide projector or something, but it wouldn't sell.

would love to see a Cheney in hunting gear. With a box that says don't let him stand behind your other figures. For that matter would love to see Cheney and Palin go hunting together.
