EMCE's APES figures

[Blue Meanie]

Good question:
As the Trek Repops are nearing the end of the announced choices still no word If there will be any NEW figures
(or even a Uhura Repop)

I'd guess everyone that "Bought a case" to help support this Line MAY be regretting it now.

But.......................thats just my opinion

Nah, I don't regret "Doing The Right Thing" by supporting the first 3 waves...I just choose not to support the line until we get something new. Simple as that. It's a little annoying that nothing new is coming out of it so far...but the one thing no one can say is that I didn't support the repro figures. I have a sealed case of wave 1 left and 1 and half cases of series 2 left to proove it. Just hope that EMCE "Does The Right Thing" and support the people that bought the figures by giving us some NEW figures.

My next door neighbour in 1974 had all of Mego’s Planet of the Apes; I had Star Trek. Every Saturday after their respective animated series, we would play Star Trek had a transporter accident and ended up on the Planet of the Apes. When he moved away, I lost the POTA figures I loved as a kid. Now I can get new ones (and they will be of the much-preferred Type 2 bodies) I will buy at least one of everything, and as many Soldier Apes I can get my stinkin' paws on ! ! ! This is great time to be a Mego collector ! ! ! !

I cant wait to get my Kirk and Klingon from Paul,i will have to play catch up now for the rest of the Star Trek figures,i hope they do a Gorn figure also?Yes i agree that the POTA line would be good,would be nice to know how many figures are sold then you might get an idea about interest and support.

I plan on getting all the EMCE toys.
I just hope they can pull it all off with enough interest and support.
They seem to be off to a good start.
I love my Kirk and Klingon and I can't wait for the Spoke, Andorian, McCoy, and Romulan.
The POTA line will be a kick butt line too.

Apes

I want all variants of the soldier apes to be available.

I think we get spoiled because we find things out earlier than with mainstream stuff. For example they just announced the Mister Fantastic and Torch Sig Series a week or two ago. Those have been in the works probably before the last FF movie came out but we didn't know so it won't seem so long in between the announcement and delivery. With the EMCE stuff we know much earlier what's coming. They haven't even decided on which figures so they obviously haven't started on the actual designs, and we already know they're coming in 2008. It's not that EMCE takes longer they just let us in on info earlier than the big guys do. It's nice to be kept updated and in the loop. Makes us feel important. Thanks Doc.

I don't give a good Gorramn which ones come out, I'm plainning on getting them ALL! You can NEVER have enough apes!

Why is the question or comments related to the question........ "Are new figure line extensions planned or strictly just reissues of existing figures" always avoided or ignored.

I dont think the matter has been avoided or ignored . Doc said it was pretty much in Diamonds hands. Ultimately they are his customer and he doesnt want to tick them off by stealing their thunder. It's frustrating, but understandable. We have to wait for the Diamond folks to make the announcements. I'm sure it's probably just as frustrating for Doc to have all of us asking him the same question over and over (I know...I'm the worst offender!) without being able to spill the beans.

Good, question. Let's see if it's avoided again. Frankly, I bet nobody knows.

Playsets would be fantastic!!

Luckily we live in a new Golden Age of Mego, and Scott's DIDA stuff is (hopefully) coming soon to meet this request!

Amen to that!

[Troy]

I just picked up the Andorian yesterday.....man, what a great job!!

I really wish DC and Marvel would get on the wagon

I would love nothing more than to tell you guys everything we are working on for
2008, but it is up to Diamond Select Toys to make the announcements, not me.

I am glad to hear that non-collectors are buying Trek figures. The kids are really
I wanted to make these figures for, so they can dig megos like we did - and do.

As for EMCE Toys - we are two guys in New York with elves in China. New
regulations are being introduced there which will impact on our production
calendar, but it shouldn't prevent us from making toys, just stretch out the
release dates. With luck, I expect to get into a good flow of product over
the next 16 months.

I believe the Doc also mentioned working with James Brady on a Night of the Living Dead series.
