I think KISS is such a huge merchandising juggernaut, it would be next to impossible to make a limited line of eight inch figures that could justify the licensing costs.
It would have to be very broadly released in order to justify it's existance. The two biggest factors working against it are:
1) Fatigue- KISS action figures have really been done to death. McFarlane probably reaped the greatest reward in the 1990s with his stuff, it's been a steady decline since.
2) The death of record chains, the collector action figure market really got hurt by the down turn of these guys.

We gave them a proposal a while back. Let's just say that Kiss would have cost more than all of our current licenses combined.
This is not shocking. Thanks for looking into it for us kiss/ mego fans.
I am convinced you guys would have nailed them, creating a a happier fan base. Maybe one day......
I personally think that Gene Simmon's is the big hold up. He is expecting a ridiculous wad of cash for the licensing.
Whatever happened to "we do it for our fans" motto? Maybe someone here should make a custom and call it "Greed Simmons".
I personally think that these figures would sell and do well in even 8" Megoish format. Anything with KISS on it sells pretty well. There are TONS of KISS fans in this world and I happen to be one of them to some degree.
Enjoy what you like, and let others enjoy what they like. (C) Azrak 2009
