In my opinion...

[jimsmegos]

When "Bonfire of the Vanities" was made into a bad movie, someone asks
Tom Wolfe if the movie ruined his book. Wolfe said his book is still on
the shelf doing fine - an interpretation can't affect the original - or something
to that effect. I'm not going to bother finding the exact quote.

In business, the guy who puts up the money, calls the shots. Mattel
paid Joe and I for our prototyping and input - when we saw something
wrong, we brought it to their attention. Ultimately what was delivered
to retailers was the product of their factories - and will continue to be,
if they decide to continue.

Doc you will always be the "World's Greatest Mego Advocate" and of course maker of new Mego's. In looking at this thread and all the ones like it over the past couple of years and then looking at my desk, it's all thanks to you for all of the new 8 inch classic style figures that I proudly display.

The originals will always have there place in my heart and collection but very few 'new' things have really ignited my imagination in that child like innocent way like the new Venture Bros, Twilight Zone, Universal Monsters, the Trek's and of course the Retro Actions.

Thank you again sir!

"if they decide to continue" sounds promising

Michael J. Dolan went back in time and kicked me in the face during Christmas of 1975 while I was opening a Robin, Mattel has ruined Mego for me.

First of all thanks, Doc and Co. for getting us, the children of the 70s, the missing figures we wanted. Lonnie is right that consumers not in the know tend to bundle the names and products together, but if RA had never happened, I also agree with others that the same "passing of the generations" in what looks good as a figure would be happening anyway.

My kids like to play with their "Megos" (a variety of beaters and RAs and EMCE, etc), but to be honest, my son loves the chunky Imaginext figures better and has longer playtime adventures with them than the 8" guys. That being said, I think if a new figure came home, both my daughter and son would be happy.

I wish the Museum had a Like button.

Without the efforts of the Doc and Joe, I wouldn't have Green Lantern and Flash, and Martian Manhunter to finish up my Justice League. They look great and I'm glad I have them on my shelf.
