    Uhm...stay tuned. I think the good Doctor and Mr. Abrams may be making an announcement of some sort at Mego Meet 2018.
    Of all the souls I have encountered his was the most...human.

      I sure hope it's more than Marty just using EMCE's bodies for "new" stuff.

      EMCE desperately needs a new body that's not all tightly wound.

          Ok, I saw the "5 regular Caucasian type 2 bodies $19.99 " on Doc's Site and thought the plastic on the torso's looked more Mego-like soft plastic than his other Bodies...am I mistaken??

            I got a 5 pack of those they are not the best..I know that's heresy but they have flakes on them and they are poorly put together...I can send a pic...I was disappointed...

                Flakes plastic flashing left on the arms and legs from the molds and it has to be restrung or I used masking tape (To see if it worked)around the waist and hips to straight the body out...I have a pic of the body..

                I'm surprised NO one else that ordered these for $20 didn't come across with the same problem...

                  It seemed like too good of a deal; almost like a dump off, so I avoided them.

                    which is why I preferred to keep them under wraps. Of course we couldn't just revamp the female and teen body and not also re-do the adult male.
                    So did these bodies never come out as either figures or bodies for customizing?

                        Yes I’m the least experienced person here so forgive me for asking, but Doc made a poor product?
                        I do now recall not liking his hollow Trek boots.
                        Who made the DC heroes that had the serious loose body issues? I returned a complete set to ToysRUs. Was that Emce Doc?

                          That was Mattel.
