Trekmovie.com on the new Trek figures

[rikitikitavi]

There are only a certain number of people who are really interested in these MEGO remakes.

Pre-Order sales are ok and nothing significant. Sales at the local retailer outlets have been slow with new customers only requesting the crewmembers.

Remember: DST recently canned both the BUFFY and ANGEL lines due to poor sales and pre-sales. All other lines DST produces can be affected by this action.

It is my understanding that DST is actually surprised by sales. They are now expanding into ape reproductions.

that's awesome man ,great read.So there's even a chance of a Khan being released,that's news to me

Are you referring to this quote: "Mego fans have made customized versions for years of characters like the Orions or even Khan. There are rumors that should the line endure it may include these types of characters."

Maybe it does mean Khan will be made some day, but I suspect that it more than likely means that if the line endures, it will expand beyond the MEGO releases and include lesser known characters, not specifically Khan or The Orions.

Well, I for one, hope that they DO sell great...I want AFFORDABLE Aliens!!!!

Besides...who knows...maybe if things continue...repro or NEW playsets!

Very cool! Megos for a new generation of kids! (and their parents) I wish these would become as popular w/ kids as they were then.

[batmanmc]

[Count Creepyhead]

More proof people want Retro style toys and not poseable statues.

[mikeoz]

These figures seem to be getting a lot of press. If sales are strong for the first figures, I can only imagine what it will be for the next releases.

[batmanmc]

i am glad sales are strong and the more publicity it gets the better for megos and the mego museum.

[megoscott]

Good article. Good news that sales are reported strong?
