The EMCE Monsters are the best part of the Mego revival. Can't wait for the next ones.

They're full of win.

The Creature's bodysuit is going to look great with a Sleestak head I bought years ago.

The more I see wave 3, the more I cant wait to get my hands on it. I wish they(EMCE/Diamond) would try for the Hammer Studios Monsters as well. Monster stuff really seems to be hot right now and this would be the time to cash in on some of that heat.

[Chris]

Hammer!?! Now you're talkin'.

[Gorn Captain]

Yeah, Hammer would be awesome.
But we still have some truly great Universal Monsters coming our way, and Hammer a totally different licence...

Loose lips sink ships Brian. I know you know what is being worked

Believe it or not, I actually don't know what you're talking about.

Man, there better be a Phantom of the Opera in all this secrecy somewhere.

I'm so very excited for EMCE's wave 3; I've already got several sets preordered from EE. Also, it may be asking a bit much, but I want to see 4 figures in EMCE's wave 4! Also, as far as monsters are concerned, in my opinion, Hammer would be the best license anybody could get. Finally, I've secretly hoped that someone like Biff Bang Pow would get the Outer Limits license to go along with their Twilight Zone figures/license. TZ was a more popular show, but OL has so many great monster-y figures that could be made. Imagining what my Re-Mego shelves would look like with the EMCE Universal Monsters, Hammer monsters, TZ & OL makes me smile...

My thoughts too! Would also LOVE a Henry Hull as Werewolf Of London.

From your lips to Doc's & Ron Chaney's ears.

Under duress, it'd even be nice to have a Raines version--but I'm assuming that the complement figure to the Phantom will be the Inv. Man.

Sean came by today and showed me the creature and bride headsculpts. I said, what's the big secret?". He looked at me weird.

P's those sculpts (and Steve austin) are incredible in person, sadly, he left with them....
