What Should EMCE Toys Try to do next ?

[MightyMegs]

Marvel Super Heroes.

Doesn't Diamond Dist, who holds the Star Trek license and has partnered with Dr Mego, also have the license for DC figures thru DC Direct, and Marvel figures through Marvel Select? If they can make Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, etc 6" figures for comic shops, why not Megos too?

[thunderbolt]

Diamond isn't making the DCDirect stuff, only distributing it. Pretty sure its the same story with Marvel Select.

What about 8" KISS figures??????...or ALICE COOPER / MARILYN MANSON / VIRGINIA CREEPER/ SLIPKNOT

[D!n0-M@n]

Galactica Original Series!

Let's finally do this justice in our favourite scale....

Man I so agree! I love that show. It so kicked the dudie outta the new show!

[D!n0-M@n]

Marvel Super Heroes.

AMEN TO THAT!!!

[D!n0-M@n]

How about Star Wars and maybe a line of Star Wars and oh yeah, Star Wars would be sweet too!
It's far beyond time this error of fate be corrected. To have the entire cast from this epic in full 8" glory would be the stuff of many an answered dream I'm sure... INCLUDING MINE!
And if a license could ever be acquired from LucasFilm... hey, I can dream can't I?... a full line of Indie figures would kick major butt too!

I'd love the following...all in 8 inch format of course.

Star Trek
Neptunian
Talosian
Telerite
Tholian
Marta the Orion Slave Girl
Creature M113
Trelane
Harry Mudd
Nurse Chapel
Yeoman Rand
Lt. Arex (Three Armed Alien from the Animated Star Trek)
Lt. M'Ress (Cat Alien from the Animated Star Trek)
Orion Pirate (Animated Star Trek Costume)
Kazinti Warrior (Animated Star Trek Agressive Cat People)


Space 1999
Capt. Koenig
Paul Morrow
Alan Carter
Capt. Zantor
Mysterious Alien
Dr. Russel
Prof. Bergman
Mr. Verducci
Maya
The Taybor

Star Trek and Space 1999 were big hits in our house when I was a kid. I always wanted a Maya figure so she could visit our Mego Enterprise Playset.

[drmego]

I would not touch Space:1999 - especially without Landau and Bain's likenesses.

If you can't make the two main characters - why bother?

[shornk]

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

[Meule]

Too expensive I believe

[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.

[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.

[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.

[EMCE Hammer]

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

[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?!
