EMCE's APES figures

[Hulk]

I am guessing they will be priced similarly to the Star Trek repros.

[toysrus]

how much?

How much do you guys think the POTA re-issues will cost? How many figures are being made?

Thanks

What he said! Once they hit Diamond Previews, I usually have them on the site within a couple weeks.

I'll be offering them, as I'm sure Hulk will, but I think they're still a long ways away from being offered for sale.

They haven't been officially solicited yet. Big Bad Toy Store is taking advance orders though.

New POTA toys

Hi all!

Which online store is the best value and safest place to buy the new POTA re-issues? Has anybody ordered yet?

Thanks

OOPS! I'd forgotten about that, Doc. But even so, you're still The Next Generation, and no matter what name we call it, we know it's still Mego.

[Hulk]

Trust me, Doc is right.

The reality is that no one can come back into the industry with the name "mego" because LEGO won that trademark case.

I hear and understand what you say and can stand beside you on this point,
However;My son is six years old and to him these are brand new.He associates them to my MEGOs and therefor thinks of them as new MEGOs.I have explained to him that these are copies of MEGOs made by EMCE toys and he still calls them MEGOs(or my guys;as in,Hey dad have you seen where my guys are?).Maybe he always will,only time will tell?
For me I can relive my memories through him as he gets his figures.
It actually is pretty cool watching him play with the same toys I had as a child and watching him use his "IMAGINATION".

So if I have called them MEGOs by mistake,I apologize to the hardcores.
I do try to make sure I give credit to EMCE.for what it's worth to me they are different yet still a part of the MEGO dream.
I to would love to see something new to relive that true feeling of excitement
as I said before I am happy watching my son get excited opening his new figures.
Right now my hopes lie with EMCE and castaway to bring out new figures...

Thanks what I'm talking about FallenSaviour. We all wish Mego was still around, but it isn't. Would this even be an issue if Paul or anyone else (w/ Marty Abrams blessing) started another company, called it Mego and turned out this figures? I mean really, what's in a name? These are just Mego: The Next Generation. Ok, so these aren't ORIGINAL 70's Megos. So what? Do they have less play value b/c the have the EMCE name on them and they clothing and accessories are a little different? Our Mego gallery is full of figures with different variations, so what's the difference? Is the thrill any less opening that action figure for the first time, or watching your kids play w/ these gems they way you did when you were little? I think not. These are toys to be celebrated. We have our Megos back! And we're getting MORE! And now we don't have to say "I wish my kids could experience the fun I had w/ these toys" b/c now they can! It's a great time to be a Mego collector. And I'm gonna go right on calling these new guys MEGOS.

Thank you, Paul.

Sorry about the REPO mistake. I wrote that quick while at work.

No worries, I'm just teasing.
