What Should EMCE Toys Try to do next ?

[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.

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)

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

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.....

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.

[PNGwynne]

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?

[MegoMark71]

i'd love megoish x-file figures

[batty]

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

[jbaker]

You know the batman "the brave and the bold" cartoon, seems to me would tie in nicely to the retro "WGSH" after you do the originals, want to try a new character? team him up with batman in the cartoon and then the kid's see him on the shelf, they go "Gotta have that one!" We know we would anyway.
ok, I know this only covers dc, but you gotta start some where.

[EmergencyIan]

I think what EMCE should try to do next is become MEGO.

Sounds great, but would Marty Abrams allow that? And where would that leave other companies like Castaway, etc?

We are independent... we don't invoke the name; nor do we remake MEGO figures. We are focusing on smaller niche licenses and high quality parts, so we feel like whatever happens is great for MEGO fans, but is not really much of a concern to us as a company. We wish everyone the best!

Nice ideas ~ A Galileo shuttle would be cool, as would {gasp} an Exclusive 'Spock's Brain' set, with a Kara/Morg set OR the Exclusive Spock in dark olive uniform and head gear.

It would be a Mego Meet mainstay for years and years..!

[PNGwynne]

That's an appreciated clarification, Dave. Castaway appears to have really taken the Mego-type body to the next level.
I want to see diverse success, too, coupled with quality.
