I miss the ole' EMCE excitement!

[DocDrako]

I get that way with every new line that anyone brings out. MORE TOYS!

[dee T.]

If we every get Marvel or Star Wars Mego figures this place will go nuts!

Or Hanna- Barbera figures as Megos.

OK, I know this sounds weird, but I really miss reading new posts everyday about the Retro Action Heroes, Star Trek and POTA EMCE figures. Remember how excited you guys were (and yeah, me too!) when the new figures came out? How your kids spotted them on the shelf in TRU, or you gave one to your kid for Christmas, or how Green Arrow's hat got lost behind the couch?

Do you guys feel the same way?

Unfortunately the excitement is about CTVT right now.
We should be talking about reproduction Batman figures here in the EMCE forum!

The majority of us just complained about them. 100's of threads. lol

You know, we can make our own excitement. We could create custom bodies like the type3 body I've seen which is VERY cool. We can make Mego scale vehicles which are VERY much needed. To quote Mr. Spock "There are always... possibilities"

I'm still bummed that Vina and Rand were cancelled. that totally bites. >: (

I like BBP, but EMCE still rules...

[megomania]

I suppose so, but it's just not the same. The aforementioned EMCE/Diamond lines were replicas, (or close to) of our old childhood faves. Not to mention they were out at virtually the same time, which made for great discussions, (the good and the bad). The BBP SMDM line is OK, but it doesn't seem to have generated the same magic, if that makes any sense.

I completely agree. Bought a Steve Austin and Bigfoot hoping they would be as exciting as an 8" Superhero but they were just kinda blah. Steve Austin fell apart within a few weeks of being removed from the bubble. IMO the body was just as weak as the Retro Superheros.

Yes! The female bodies were really getting there. Of course now we have Zica laying waste to that thought with his latest offering. Amazing body and articulation! The evolution continues.

[Earth 2 Chris]

^Yeah, except for the two females. Those were really nicely done.

My biggest let down was the ReWGSH's bodies

You have to admit - they were sooooooo lousy

[Gorn Captain]

So far, I have all the EMCE figures, and there's room for more!

[TomStrong]

I know how you feel hardygirl. I was waiting online for the exclusive Green Lanterns the day they would become available and I got them all. Wish more super heroes were coming.

It feels like the fandom is going dormant again, after a brief nostalgia resurgence. But new toys continue to be produced. The big name toy companies may have moved on but this fandom lives, and as long as there is a market, there will be new toys.

Yep- I was a "lurker" then, and was really excited when I started seeing all the Re-Megos on the shelves at the local comic shop. A little after that, I joined up here, and later saw that their was going to be Universal Monster Re-Megos out. I was hooked!
