Remake of 'The Dukes Of Hazzard'

[BATMAN89]

Hey Doc!
Just a thought about a remake of The Dukes Of Hazzard...
Mego never made the General Lee for the 8 inch size Mego.
Would the license already be taken?
That's Warner Bros if I remember right.
Is that also Mattel?

Is there really any interest today/fan base for a "Dukes of Hazzard" revival?

Why not? Heck, the Dude got made.

Well CMT has been running it lately. I've got it on right now.

I wish generic vehicles would get made in Mego scale... Dodge, Futura, the car they made the Munster's car out of, old "cops and robbers" sedans from the '30s and '40s, etc.

really it's kind of crazy how popular the show still is. I have a few Dukes items in my collection and they get so many "oh wow dukes of hazzard" and I'm like ... yeah but hey look at this cool RC Batman lol lol

I actually heard today John S. is releasing the theme song soon. So why not. Could use an Uncle Jesse, Roscoe and Enos.

i think it's so popular because the original cast does a great job promoting the show and meeting their fans!

The show does have a very strong following. the movies however......not so much.

I think a Duke boys set with the car would be neat, but I dont know how many units it would move?

The Dukes was a HUGE part of my childhood. Never wanted to miss the CBS Friday night schedule of The Incredible Hulk, The Dukes of Hazzard and Dallas. I still have a preference for the first 5 episodes filmed on location in Conyers and Covington, Georgia, though.

I grew up watching the Dukes also....and I've got a decent sized Dukes memorabilia collection.

I'm extremely pleased to see the show still surviving...and a whole new generation appreciating the show.

I never could understand why Mego didn't include more characters in the 8" line.....

[BlackKnight]

Yeah ..., So What IS a Cooter ?.

[samurainoir]

I think there would be a demand if they went the deluxe "Hot Toys" high end Lt Ed route with this at the 8 inch scale, and it would have to include the car.

A nice boxset with the General Lee, and brand new, detailed head sculpts and paint aps that really capture the likenesses of the original actors.

Limit the production numbers for the real hardcore fans and price it at $150-180 retail.

Go to that price in this economy and you'll lose your market!

Yeah, I preferred that setting too. Why'd they change it? I know it's cheaper to shoot on the backlot, but why'd they go to Georgia in the first place then?
