    Would you have bought Cowboys and Aliens Megos?

    Looks like it came in second behind Smurfs, but ahead of Captain America.

    Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford figures would have been a customizers dream, but Cowboys have always been a hard sell these past few decades, even with a scifi bent.

      It's Old Ford though, so not much on the custom options unless you want him looking for crystal skulls inside a Walton's fridge while forgetting who's house he's in.

      Craig would be good for .. well 007? I don't think there's a big push for Layer Cake megos. That''s not to say these wouldn't have been cool, but I'd have been much more likely to pick up Firefly megos (in a minnit!) or even Jonah Hex if it was comic old school and not ghostrider 2.0 movie.

                  I read the idea was originally sold because of the "niftyness" of the title.
                  After that I was sorta peeved ( and jealous) those guys had such an easy sell. SO I havent seen it, read the comic, etc.
                  But if the figures looked cool on thier own, yes.

                    I have to admit that the idea that the Cowboys vs Aliens property was offered to Bif Bang Pow really does open up the possibilities of what can be done in this format in the future.

                    Lower tooling costs means lower runs are not out of the question. If Cowboys and Aliens does become a cult hit, then it's not inconceivable that perhaps they can revisit this (personally haven't seen the movie yet, so I can't judge myself on that possibility).

                    The Beastly figures that were shown at Toyfair are also kind of fascinating to me as well.

                      I saw the movie which I really enjoyed. Ford and Craig were great and looked great in costume. I immediately thought about them in mego form.
                      I would definitely collect them if produced.
