EMCE to do WW2 Lion Rock?

[ctc]

Hmmmm....

The Mego WW2 guys were great! I'd love to see 'em reissued. I'd love it MORE if they were reissued in 8" format. (Always looking for more characters.)

I dunno, seems like military figures are a better fit for 12-inch scale, where you can really go crazy with the detail of the accessories. In Mego scale, that's a lot of new tooling to get the detail right (assuming molds/re-casts aren't being used - if they were, the accessories would be off-scale, right?). The big advantage would be vehicles and dioramas that aren't the size of your dining room table, but I don't know if enough military fans would go for it. They seem to like their figures big and hyper-detailed.

And are there really enough dyed-in-the-wool Mego fans (who are mostly into sci-fi and comic book heroes) to support a realistic WWII line? All that olive drab is going to contrast with your candy-colored Super Heroes.

i looked these up a bit more and they are awesome. I had two back in teh day. The Japanese officer and the French rifleman.

I realized GI Joe has too many clothes and you do end up playing dress up instead of WAR!!!!

These guys are just teh right size!

Since we just had Remembrance Day here, I'd be interested in something like this honor my Grandfather who fought in WW1 and my Uncle who was in the Navy in WW2 and two of my Aunts who were nurses in WW2. It would be pretty cool to have figures in the uniforms they wore.

I wonder what EMCE's thoughts are here?

Pics please?

[AAAAA]

I think so.

Okay, my goof. It's the Ceppi Ratti Captain figure that I'm after.

Anyone know a good source outside of actually GOING to Italy for it?

That'd be neat. Like the Ceppi Ratta line, only more up to date.

And believe me, getting one of THOSE is nearly impossible.

I've been on the lookout for the Sea Captain figure for MONTHS!

Why not? Look how many different companies do 12" scale. I'm sure 8" would do well also.

[AAAAA]
