Any interest in a repro Aquaman vs The Great White Shark set?

I think you should put Reevefan2010.

Good suggestion. I'll run that by my mold maker friend and see what he thinks.

Sorry for the temporary downtime here folks....busy time for me (preparing for 2 art shows from now till February with the gallery that reps me) and my friend who's making the mold. But rest assured this project is still "a go" and will resume as planned shortly. Stay tuned.

P.S. Hope everyone here in the states has a Happy and safe Thanksgiving!

Sorry for the lack of updates these days. This project is still very much "a go" just a little slow due to the holidays and the fact that money is a bit tight this month.....doesn't leave much room for purchasing mold making materials at the moment but that will change soon. Thanks in advance to everyone for hanging in there and being patient with me in the interim. More to follow in the near future.

Thanks for the update.

Hello fellow Mego Enthusiasts,

Just a note to let everyone know that the mold maker has the materials to make a silicone mold of my original Mego Great White Shark and he will be setting it up to mold just after the holidays. He will fix any melt marks (there are a few on my original) as well as remove the Mego Corp. logo and year of original production and replace it with a new logo and 2011 as the year of reproduction.

From this master copy he will create a new silicone mold for production of the repros. This way it will look as perfect as the originals (no more melt marks) along with identification that will clearly distinguish it as a repro so that no one will ever be able to pass it off as an original Mego product.

Just wanted to keep everyone updated. It may be a slow process but the payoff will be HUGE and we hope to pleasantly surprise Mego collectors of high quality repro Mego products. Stay tuned!

Awesome!! Can't wait to see how he comes out! If you find yourself a bit low on cash maybe consider a Pre order payment

(Not too much because we are all having the same problem!!)

Hey that's great news, can't wait to see any new progress pics.

That's so exciting...thanks for the updates!

I would love one,, as long as it doesnt break the ban account,,,

Great news & thanks for the considerate updates--really looking forward to the success of this project!

Awesome news!

Sounds Great how much are these going to be when you have them ready?

That is yet to be determined until we have a prototype with time and cost of materials factored in. Then we'll know what we're looking at as far as what it will cost to produce each one. We're not going to gouge anyone so we won't make them unobtainable. As a collector I don't mind paying a fair price for a great product and would expect that others would understand that too. By the same token we are not in the business of losing money either so we won't be able to give them away. I am sacrificing (possibly) my original just a little to have it molded, although the mold maker will reassemble mine once the initial mold is made. The original mego logo will be replaced by ours on the molded master so that no one will ever be able to pass one off as an original. From the molded master with the replaced new logo we will make yet another final master mold and the subsequent repro sharks. I will tell you that we plan on making the repros look as much like the originals as possible but the replaced logo mark will make it well known that these are indeed repros and NOT original Mego Great White Sharks.....as a serious Mego collector I am ADAMANT about this.

The mold maker will begin working his magic in the first few weeks of the new year just as soon as he finishes work on previously scheduled projects. More news to follow very soon. Thanks for following this thread. I am very excited about this project and cannot wait to post photos of the first mold making step once this project commences. Until then stay tuned!

Unfortunately things have a tendency to go awry at times and some times (and I can attest to this from personal experience) you just hit a brick wall in a project that hadn't been anticipated or expected. People get real funny sometimes (and understandably so when their money is involved) when things don't go as planned.....even when they are kept up to date on the status of the project. I have learned it is better to fund the project yourself whenever possible to avoid disappointing anyone who expects things to go smoothly with no bumps and bruises in the R&D department. So with that said although the idea is a good one.....in practice I think it is simply better for us to fund the project until we know we can produce the desired results and have a definite system in place for expected turn around times. Don't worry we are both committed to bringing fans of this Mego set the highest quality reproduction they will ever find available anywhere ever! Stay tuned.....there is soooooooo much more to come!

Sounds Great and Thank You for keeping us all up to date. I can't wait to add one of these to my collection.
