EMCE 8" Kiss?

[Mr Mego]

Hello all,

Can EMCE company make a new set of 4 EMCE KISS in the future?

Anyone thoughts?

I am just guessing that McFarlane still holds the action figure licensing. I could be wrong however.

[DocDrako]

I'd love to see that. But I doubt it would happen. But I'd love to see it.

Did I mention that I'd love to see it?

Yeah. The impression I get is they do everything w/McFarlane.

[The Shadow]

Gene Simmons would probably allow that, for a modest fee

[palitoy]

Last I heard it was $100K in advance.

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.

[palitoy]

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.

KISS can't be the only ones in their universe, so they'd need some Villians or Guardians (The Elders)...

ohh the possiblities...

I think it could happen in the future.

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.

^^^^Youch!!!

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 like the way you think.

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.
