    Toyfair 2012

    I am getting anxious to see what this year's Toyfair has in store. BSG and SMDM are givens, I am hoping to see some Trek offerings and maybe some big suprises. I am working hard to get ahold of all the TWZ figures, and I am hoping for some Universal Monster news as well. Does anyone have some insight to what is going to be revealed?

        I'm looking forward to seeing all the new BBP figures, Doctor Who, TZ, SMDM & BSG, and the new Star Trek TNG figures. However, most of all, I'm jonsing hard to know and see which two Universal Monsters get their turn. About three weeks to go. Got my fingers crossed for an official Creature from the Black Lagoon in Mego style....Can't wait....

              We haven't revealed any of our plans yet for SMDM, so there has been nothing posted to sway anyone yet. Given that, let me try to sway you right now. We believe we have a very good Lee Majors head sculpt, and our outfits will be based on the most popular styles, and we'll have a few surprises. We do need to lower expectations a bit on this line and be very clear. These are re-Mego figures, not reproductions of old toys, and not modern toys. Re-Megos that we are making have clothing and accessories - they don't have removable parts, electronics, special effects or bells and whistles. Wave 1 will be Steve Austin and Bigfoot. Specific outfits and more characters will be announced and shown at Toy Fair. For BSG, Starbuck will also be in Wave 1.

                Keep the faith Mike. My gut feeling is we're going to have a killer line here. I really feel it.

                  You mean we aren't going to get a "bionic eye" feature???

                    Thanks for grounding my expectations...ahem... I'M STILL EXCITED! Customizing a bionic arm and set of legs has always been my expectation here. That's another reason why I feel this figure will be a BIG hit. The customizing potential is off the charts. My only concern lay in whether you were just going to give us the same one-trick red jump suit or actually put this guy in some threads. Sounds like that has been addressed too, so I'm very pleased with what I'm hearing. I have faith in you guys. Bring it home!

                        When we called to book our booth at Toy Fair back in November - they were
                        already sold out! That hasn't happened in many, many years. Hopefully
                        it's a good sign for the economy.

                        EMCE will have a presence at the Diamond Comics exhibit.

                              Is there any evidence that there is an exclusive RA wave- or is that just wishful thinking?
