Been away from the boards awhile, as we've been elbow-deep in plastic over here prepping for upcoming NY Toy Fair. Besides the stuff you've been haring about, we've got more stuff in the works that we'll be able to discuss at the show.
Meantime, so no-one thinks we haven't been paying attention...
As we mentioned before, we've collated all the comments in the thread on the Mattel bodies and have done a full and thorough presentation to them about the potential changes. That is in progress; however, to manage expectations, several waves of figures are already in the near-completion stages so it may be some time before any of our suggestions make it into the development.
As for tweaks to the Doc Mego body in general, as well as variations of that which have been used by our various partners, we've held some "summits" right here at the shop so we can start planning ways to make improvements.
We said before that Paul's goal for the last 10 years has been to bring Mego back, which started with his compete recreation of the Mego body with some minor but important upgrades. That mission accomplished, it's clear that the next stage is to make the 8" format a more reliable and versatile platform on a broader scale.
Now, we've had several museum board contributors either on the phone or here at the shop to consult on everything from restringing to new plastics. We spent hours on the phone recently with Lonnie Fisher and just this past Friday, John Farley of Type 3 Toys spent most of the day here in person.
It's a lot to digest, but know that we are doing what we can to incorporate as much of this information as possible as we go forward.
Thanx again for your patience and support.
