Emce retro action figures, Marvel???

[jwyblejr]

Could be because they already did Marvel figures using this same body in 9" scale and they didn't sell well at all. Now granted they aren't as Mego like as the Retro figures, but I'm still guessing that's part of the hesitation.

True. Look at the Spider Man and Iron Man stuff. And did someone say G.I. Joe? Two words:Sigma Six. I know it's not the Retro stuff but you can't blame Hasbro for not wanting to jump on the bandwagon with the track record of that stuff.

Read our lips: there will never be oven mitts on our EMCEs.

Good! I hated them too! I never understood what that was about particularly as it limited the playing ability to hold something or throw a punch. The only thing you can do with oven mitts is throw cookies at someone.

Does this mean you may make some superhero's in the near future?

I think the Andorian gloves work very well. Both of them are "open" hand gloves... They can come up with one "fist/closed hand" glove and release for each gloved figure one and one.

Awesome, sounds promising. I agree.. as much as the oven mitts are total nostalgia, I think a lot of people today would see them as W T F.

Collectors that are familliar with anything EMCE has done since they started
would be shocked "W T F" as EMCE've been putting out product for years
and haven't done it yet.

Have you seen the cool gloves designed by classic plastick?! A thin glove which lets your hero hold whatever.

Any toy company these days ONLY has the rights to characters within a size-range OR a style, or a style and size-range.

Hasbro has Marvel rights for "action-figures" in various sizes (not sure all)
Art Asylum has Marvel rights for the mini-mates
Marvel Select for figures above the HASBRO scale rights
Bowen Design for MARVEL statues
Moebius Models for model kits, in certain scales
Mattel for Marvel Barbie (they did have)
Etc, etc.

It works the same for other brands too.

Doc shocked us once and delivered big time....he can do it again with Marvel if anyone can.

Not for the direct Market via Diamond. Note the Marvel Select figures are not Hasbro.

Wow!!! Good point!

I can't discuss any details. When everything is over, I will write a book
and tell all.

Trust me - we are not idle.

As for oven mitts - I always hated them because it kept Batman from
holding a rope or a batarang. Even Mr. Fantastic's plastic gloves
prevent him from holding the Ultimate Nullifier!

I'm sure we will be delighted and shocked at eventually seeing all the near misses, pitches and prototypes that have or will flow cross the Emce workbench!

I just wish I could hop the Delorean now and get a peak at what lies in those vaults!
