    I can't comment on specific characters we are working on - but it is
    a surprising mix - not just the usual suspects.

        Adam Strange would be cool.

          I would think OMAC would have a better shot seeing as how he's been on the Brave and the Bold cartoon.

            That's good to hear, Doc. Thanks for the reply.

            I just got a crazy thought. I don't recall the status of the Kirby estate versus Marvel and or DC but would it not be cool to see a limited edition line of Kirby created 3rd-tier figures? Maybe Diamond exclusive? OMAC, Demon, a couple of Eternals...? Head sculpts done 100% Kirby look. Huh... Huh? (salivating)

            They would look so cool.

              Also, if I start doing customs again, maybe next year, I think I'm going to do a Shade figure. I doubt that he'll ever be done officially. Such an oddball character...

                EDITED: because I was referring to the wrong character
                "No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive. I think I'll scoot over here right by this winda', let this beautiful carriage rock me to sleep, and dream about how lucky I am." - Chris Mannix

                  I still hope there's a shot at the Atom. I think he would be very cool. Technically you could say he was the first "life size" Mego.

                    I second this.

                      On the subject of Kirby, I thought this was fascinating... a list of all the characters he created or helped create:

                      I'd kill to see a Machine Man, Mego style...

                        Suprises

                        I really dig these lesser known characters, I think they build interest as far as generating new collectors. I get so frustrated when I see the same character done over and over again. I hope this new line of "MEGO like" has a long and healthy run. There is to telling how many figure we will see if this line runs as long as the original MEGO line did, I will buy em all...

                          Yes! I've always like the Atom.

                              Saw a custom Machine Man today in the custom forum. It was amazing, just amazing.

                              God someone get the Kirby license.
