What Should EMCE Toys Try to do next ?

[Brown Bear]

I'd like to see EMCE contact Hanna Barbara and to Zan & Jayna, Black Vulcan, Apache Cheif and Samuri!!!

Well, I'd love to see more Trek figs come out and I'm all for a Battlestar Gallactica line too. But with the release soon of the Enterprise bridge, what about the Gamma playset? What about even doing a Galleo shuttle? With Didas doing playsets, they added chairs. What I'm saying is, what about accessorizing the figures. Conferance table with a view screen like on Star Trek. Or what about a Weapons Rack, to hold 4 or 5 guns for the Apes line. How about redoing the Mego horses. I know Doc offers horses on his site, but they just don't have that "Mego" look, no offense. The Apes line had this idea down pretty good, with a battering ram, throne, cattapult,...etc. Any way, that is just a few things to think about. Who knows what the future holds, but it's looking good so far.

i'd love megoish x-file figures

Well, as far as ST: TOS goes we still need Talos & the Neptunian & companion crew figs for those waves. And it'd be a darn shame not to utilize more Bradys if Diamond/CBS likes the line.

But what else is up, Doc?

WOW , when I started this thread I had no idea it would still have life this long. All Great suggestions by everyone . I see a lot of Star Trek suggestions. Since the Trek are doing well I can only assume that Diamond would like to continue with Emce on future releases.

Lest we forget:

Mr. Leslie / Mr. Kyle (in red engineering jumpsuit)
Kor / Kang (both in episode correct costumes)
Gary Seven / Roberta Lincoln
Sarek / Amanda
Tellarite / Trelane
"Mirror, Mirror" variants plus Marlena
Dress Uniform variants of the crew
Kirk in casual uniform (version 2, because it looked the best out of the three versions)
Kirk as Romulan / Romulan Commander
"City on the Edge of Forever" Kirk / Spock
Edith Keeler / Captain Christopher
etc, etc, etc.....

Okay,..we all accept CTV made crappy bodies,..but,...they made us figures that we thought never to see in the mego 8" format like The Munsters, remaining characters from Happy Days, and lets not forget SPACE 1999,..even if the main characters werent made,..the line does have nice head sculpts well tailored outfits, that all we had to do was just change the bodies,...they even made us the Legendary Heroes for those of us who couldnt afford the originals,...in my opinion,..i cant be to hard on CTV,..of course,..this is my opinion,...then comes EMCE!!! The best figures around! And do hope they continue bringing us those and other figures we always wanted to have, either repros or originals......so bring in the new sets of:
Neptunian / Chapel
Talos / Vina
Pike / Rand
Mudd / Orion Slave
Number 1 / Salt Vampire

Dr Mego I ordered one CTV figure a few weeks ago. It arrived I opened the packaging and the right leg fell off. So I had to send it back to the seller and ask for my money back. So far I have bought 19 EMCE (all Trek and Apes) figures and the most serious problem was one of the boots wasn't on properly and needed to be expanded with hot water to slip on the foot.
I couldn't believe how scrappy the plastic is on the one CTV figure I bought.
No leg ever came off on my original Megos even after the rough and tumble play I subjected them to as a 7 year old (okay I did break Hulks elbow joint and Buck Rogers thumb)

[PNGwynne]

From your mouth to the Toy-god's ears, Doc!

I'd love to see nice reissues of those, and Mad Monsters, too! I'd buy em all!

And if you do a Neptunian, you'll have the tooling to do a Mad Monster line extension--the Creepy Sea Creature. You already have a nice head for it on your site.

[JediJaida]

That's only if it deteriorates naturally.

Those things are such cheap crap, they can be easily shattered to itsy bitsy smithereenies, and chucked into the recycling bin.

I'm glad that I buy all of my bodies from Doc. They are great.

I ordered three last week, and he threw in a fourth as a freebie.

*Sigh*, I luv Doc.

Why are all the really good ones married?!

[EMCE Hammer]

I believe the half life of a crappy action figure is twenty years.

[drmego]

I wanted to do the knights, pirates, and Robin Hood megos back in 2002,
and I had a friend with money ready to back me.

What kept me from doing it was the fear that there were just not
enough Mego fans to buy the figures. I wasn't looking to get rich
off it, but I could not, in good conscience, take my friend's money
and lose it.

Now that CTV spewed out toxic crap in 8 inch scale - I really don't
want to make them for fear someone would confuse EMCE Toys with
them.

One day, when the toxicity has passed away, I will make them right.

[JediJaida]

Let's face it folks, we ain't gonna be seeing these figures that we've been naming any time soon.

The actors who starred in them are WAY too well know, and would want WAY too much money for the use of their likeness.

Doc is an excellent guy; his attention to detail is second to none, and he's a wonderful guy on top of that.

We can bug the snot out of him all we like as to what we would like to see, but he's only one person, and he can only make do with what he has.

Not that the ideas we've been kicking around aren't great; they are. But they're not going to happen.

Not unless Doc hits the Megaball for more than 100 million dollars; then he will be able to afford any license his heart desires.

Although, Doc, if you can make the Robin Hood line better than the CTVT crapola that is currently out there, I know I'd be very happy.

[megocrazy]

I feel the same way, but do you mean that the likeness of either of them are simply not options at this point?

I'm guessing they're blocking the use of their likenesses on any figures. The same reason there isn't a Heston figure to go with the Apes line. After those atrocious Mattel figures you'd think they'd at least like to die with a decent looking american figure. At least Landau has the Palitoy figure Bain doesn't even have that.

Too expensive I believe
