Any chance EMCE can take over RA?

Well, I for one wouldn't be totally opposed to that. At least I know I would be getting a quality product from someone who not only cares, but really knows what they're doing,
as long as it was Doc/Emce.
Would be interesting if somehow...some sort of 'Joint Venture' might work out for this...
like an EMCE/CASTAWAY/ZIKA/ DIAMOND SELECT release, to help defray the cost somehow.
Probably very unlikely. I'm not even sure how logistically that could even work, but it would be...interesting.
Of course, we are talking about THE WORLD's GREATEST SUPERHEROES, the Mego grand-daddy that started all this.

Would be cool if someone else did carry the line. I don't care who.

[drogge]

Yeah!

I think DC Direct should take the line over since they already have permission to produce DC characters.

Your talking about Mattel giving away a piece of their license for someone else to make toys and take the profit. That will never happen. But it's a nice thought all the same.

I think this is a fantasy more than a possibility. If EMCE had the opportunity to do this, we would've never seen them made by Mattel to begin with.

We've been discussing in a purely hypothethetical sense if someone else could continue the tradition after Mattel. I don't think MM members know the contract details between Mattel & DC Comics, but I know when I put in my 2 cents worth I was assuming the WB/DC Comics license with Mattel would have expired either by date or the contract was null and voided on account of no new figures being made after so much time or some such thing. I don't think anyone would expect Mattel to remain in the game and share their license as it would be beneficial to just deal with the licensee directly. But it's nice to imagine if, say, Mattel was out of the picture if Emce (or dare I say in conjuction with BBP?) could approach Mattel and ask for their blessing or approval on making the head sculpts that were never made. From then on I'd expect Emce to go their own way and with DC...offer a relaunch/reboot (Oh, wait those are the DC Comics, coming out later on, sorry.)
