What other 1970s shows would you like to see BBP adapt to Megos?

Seriously, sometimes you guys are flat-out hilarious! When I read our wish-lists, I'm often thinking the same thing: "About twenty people tops are going to want that figure." I even want the Man from Atlantis, and the average person has no recollection of that show.

Patrick Duffy before he was Bobby Ewing. It was the reason we started watching Dallas in the first place.

Yeah, I thought "Patrick Duffy! This is going to be great!" The reality was a bit of a let-down for my 11 year old self.

Waitaminiute everybody... No Fantastic Journey mention yet? I mean, I might even buy five of those.

But seriously where's Land of the Lost?

[thunderbolt]

Logans Run is a must, but I think Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet would be cool. James Bond and Bruce Lee in all kinds of different movie outfits.

Bond and Lee would work for an Action Jackson type line, especially Bond. Scuba gear, ski patrol, commando, etc.

[Saroyan]

Not that this could be done without Disney\Pixar legal squashing a lesser company like gnat- but would it be cool to see a Mego style Sheriff Woody and Buzz Lightyear- you know, done in realistic proportions?

[MysteryWho]

I recall reading on here that one of the Mego creators, when asked if he would have made Sulu or Chekov had the Star Trek line continued, replied that he would have made more aliens.
In that way, some of these lines could work. The Irwin Allen stuff for example. I dunno if Land of the Giants would work, it would just be the cast and a giant pencil, but take Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Lost in Space, or my personal fave, the Time Tunnel. Once you make a few main characters, like Doug and Tony or Nelson and Crane, you could make everyone from Marco Polo to a Manfish! Guys painted silver who could crossover to other shows!
Kolchak could work this way also. You got Kolchak, maybe Vincenzo, and then all the monsters you could think of!
Even Columbo! Think of all the guest stars! Patrick McGoohan! Martin Landau! John Cassavetes! Who hasn't wanted to make a custom for a Cassavetes picture? Jack Cassidy and Robert Culp with alternate outfits for their hundreds of guest appearances. Leonard Nimoy complete with "murder gloves", those leather gloves that people only wear when they are gonna kill somebody. It goes on and on.
Anywho, that's my two cents. Fun thread!

Mission Impossible

[jetzjungle]

BJ and the Bear is a must for all serious collectors!

[Mego-Amigo]

A lot of the Hanna-Barbera shows mentioned would work well too. For example, Space Ghost, The Herculoids, Birdman or Scooby-Doo. Other than the main cast of these shows you have numerous very colorful and cool looking villians / monsters / aliens to keep the lines going for several waves.

I'm amazing no one here mentioned Greatest American Hero. Maybe now that
Stephen J. Cannell is dead, his family will be willing to talk about licensing.

[Mego-Amigo]

If you could get the license to the Cannel shows Paul it would be awesome. Greatest American Hero and Hunter would make great Re-Mego lines. For me though, Renegade would be a dream come true. I guess you would still have to go through Universal for the A-Team though.

[powersthatbe]

a show from the 80's but i liked tales of the gold monkey when i was a kid

[EmergencyIan]

I'll second a vote for the old LJN lines
Emergency - and beyond Roy and Johnhny lets get air bottles, the portaphone and turnout coats, Capt Stanley, Mike Stoker, maybe even lopez and Kelley

SWAT - the ljn line was cool but think how awesome modern head sculpting could be

ADAM 12 needs to happen - and the head scupt for Jim could adapt to a galcatica 1980 Cpt Troy

Starsky and Hutch - epsecially if more show accurate clothing or scaled torino

Starblazers if it could happen would be cool and as a cult scifi property the market would be wider like Trek and galactica but Jupiter Films would probably stop it

Of course, I would love to see all of that as well!

I guess it doesn't say much for the shows popularity that I'm the first to mention it, but Kolchak, the Night Stalker would be cool.

With two TV movies and a 20 episode run, there are plenty of fun monsters to work with.

A voodoo zombie, lizard man, android, Aztec mummy, a Hindu Rakshasa and a headless biker, not to mention Kolchak himself. If interest were high enough, there could actually be good stuff to come out of it.

Nope - not the first...

Some Detectives:
Columbo
Kojak
McCloud
The Magician
Kolchak

Kolchak could work this way also. You got Kolchak, maybe Vincenzo, and then all the monsters you could think of!

I think a lot of old-timers here might have recognized it more easily because we post Kolchak love pretty often. He's on several people's Custom to-do lists.
