Ladies and Gentlemen, The World's Greatest Superheroes

[UnderdogDJLSW]

Wow! Just Wow! I'm in the middle of a 14 hour day at work and can't wait to get home and read all of the different threads! I'm going to have to get a 2nd job to get through 2010 with all that is happening! Again, Wow! and thanks to all who made this happen.
I'll have to keep checking MattyCollector so I don't miss out.

Tell us how many each of us need to buy to keep the line running? I want to start budgeting right now. lol These are fantastic.

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

Thrilling news...congratulations guys. I love 'em. And I think it's great Superman's emblem will be improved. I like the new sculpt but the old Supes will always be my favourite.

Emce, now that the cat's out of the bag, was this what you were aiming for from the start with Emce or did you luck into it with Marty and the restarted Trek and Ape lines?

[bagmonster]

Congratulations. Take it for what it is worth, guys...I am proud of you.

As Joes said, I am as excited for my kids as I am for myself (OK well that's a lie, but I am happy for them.)

[JDeRouen]

I just showed the pics to my seven-year-old son, and he's just as excited as the rest of us!

WGSH !

Wow.

Just...

Wow.

Thanks for your part in making this happen, Paul! I'll certainly do MY part to make this line successful; I'll take 2 or more of each, thank you very much !

I just got in and have been playing catch-up reading the entries , one thing I didn't notice being mentioned, are these going to have swappable hands? I ask, because it appears Superman has two open hands, GL has two fists, and Sinestro has one fist and one open hand. It would be great if our Megos could finally start punching each other square in the kisser, instead of just slapping ineffectually !

LOVE the new SUPERMAN Sculpt! Wish I could see it better(little blurry)but it looks GREAT!

[hobub]

Now that's the way to go. A little change to distinguish for the collector, vintage from new. I thank you. My son thanks you! and I thank you for that too. Now I don't have to donate any more of my collection to ultamite annhilation from a four year old mego fanatic!

[palitoy]

Evolution baby, everybody's happy.

[The Toyroom]

^ What a difference 37 years makes....

oh my god oh my god oh my god.
I KNEW this day would come...

MAJOR Kudos Joe, Paul, Dave and anyone else I missed as I skimmed this 20 some pages.

Is this thread unprecidented at nearly 4,000 views in under a day??

Holy crap, and coming from the art background, the backer cards sound equally freaking amazing!!!!!!

Pouring my drink, raising my glass to you guys.
This Buds for You!

Anyway to get some new TV commercials to promote these so kids want them going into the toystore?

[Hulk]

Thank You and Congratulations!

Way to go Paul and Joe! You have realized the dream, bringing Mego's back to retail store shelves in a HUGE way. Toys R Us, WGSH, and Mattel (who in reality was one of only two real options to take the mantel from Mego).

My questions, which I suspect will be answered soon enough are:

Will the name MEGO be on the packaging? it seems clear that World's Greatest Super Heroes will be, but is Mattel going to utilize the one of the old Mego logos for that truly vintage look?

To clarify, since you used Doc Mego bodies for a couple of the prototypes, is it safe to assume that the heads are 100 percent interchangeable with Mego bodies? (I guess the outfits might not fit so well since the torso is longer)

Will the packages be clamshelled? plastic bubbles sealed to the cardboard?

Is there any possibility of Mattel bodies and parts being sold separately for parts, replacements, customizing, etc?

Wow.

5 years ago, this was one of those WHAT IF? conversations. Now the WHAT IF? is whether Hasbro and Marvel will step up to the plate and join the 8 inch revolution!

Long Live Mego!!!
