New EMCE Ideas....

[Brown Bear]

So Doc.....any secret plans in the works we haven't heard about yet?

My pull with EMCE Toys

Do you know that I am EMCE Toys? I guess you never went
to the informational website we set up EMCE TOYS!
and read the About Us.

I do read all the posts, but I can't spend time every day
reading them. And I found that it's better for me to post
infrequently - preferably when I have something interesting
to say.

Doc comes here often and I am guessing he sees the posts. Unfortunatley he probably doesn't have as much pull with the EMCE company as you think. I am sure if you have an idea you can email it to him. He usually responds pretty quick to me when I have a serious question. I notice if I ask him something really less important he won't respond. I am sure he does that on purpose. LOL

I have suggested EMCE doing AJ in the past and the idea was quickly shot down b/c original AJ's can be found for roughly the same price anyway.

What I wanted to see however, were NEW AJ figures...like a "villian" to fight AJ or a partner or new outfits. I'd still love to see Mego's 1st 8" figure return!

Doing some independent/small press comic book character super heroes would be less expensive than getting the big licenses since in many cases you would be dealing directly with the creators who are building their characters name recognition. Of course you won't have the kind of name recognition that the big guns have, but you also might get in on the next big thing just as a character really starts to take off.

That's exactly the position My Friend Jay Piscopo is in! I'm helping Him build a Prototype for His New Character "CAPTAIN X"(see other Thread, here in Repica Chat )...and maybe down the road, He could get them mass produced.

Realistically, I think something like Emergency! could be made and it would be enough of a hit for Doc to make a couple bucks.

Emergency! ran a long time in the 1970's and has an active fan base today that continue to buy the series on DVD (where as Universal has discontinued other 1970's series much to my chagrin)

And Doc could use mine (with a little refinement here and there I am sure) as prototypes

That exactly the route I'm taking. The license didn't cost me anything and working with a company that's equally as anxious to promote the product is a huge plus.

New EMCE ideas...

Isn't there a new Star Trek movie coming out, with younger actors playing the parts of the original ones?

Why not jump on the bandwagon and get the licensing for that?

Only problem is, the last movie was a right turkey, and I really don't think that Doc wants to take a bathwith one of his businesses.

And since everyone is into classical literature lately, how about Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, Byron, Keats, all those lovely people.

I still say that Valdemar is a good option.

Vanyel Ashkevron
Lan Firestorm
Darian Firkin
Kiro
Ma'ar
Companions
Gryffons

And how about Anne McCaffrey's Pern series?

Lessa
F'lar
Jaxom
Ruth
Mnemeth
Ramoth

Well, let's face it; most of the big shows are spoken for as far as action figures go. Doctor Who, Star Trek, Star Wars, etc...

Same thing for DC and Marvel. Doc was in a big todo with DC and Marvel over some of the stuff he was selling, and he had to pull certain items.

How about historical figures?

Eleanor of Acquitaine, Prince John (he'd be perfect for the Robin Hood line), George Washington.

How about the Heralds of Valdemar? That's a POPULAR series of books by Mercedes Lackey.

Or maybe something from her 500 Kingdoms line of books.


How about fairy tale figures?

NOT DISNEY!

Cinderella
Snow White
Rose Red
The Goose Girl
The Wicked Queen
The Evil Stepmother
The Little Match Girl (yes, I know a depressing story)
The little girl from the story The Red Shoes


Or from the V TV movie and miniseries. They only came out with one action figure, and he was more like a Ken doll.

Jack the ripper,

w. bush

IF they could get theyre paws on the universal monster license...there could be UNIVERSAL MONSTER SERIES

Dracula

Frakenstein

The Wolfman

The Mummy

Mr. Hyde

The Invisible Man

Igore

Dr. Henry Frankenstein

The Phantom

Dr. Vanhelsing

The Bride Of Frankenstein

The Creature Of The Black Lagoon

Dr. Pertorious

The WereWolf Of London

All nicely detail sculps of the actors

Ah now thats a good line up if you ask me guys and gals

Then again i had the same dream of hasbro getting that license and making 3inch figures and figure deluxe with a lil playset
with other playsets from the film and vehecles and whatnot...

o.o i'm 22 and i'm a monsterkid.
so far i got jakk pacifics universal monsters and that company which i forget they had dracula, frankenstein, wolfman, mummy, and the creature. they're very good figures

but i hunger for moar action figures with monsters you can never satisfy the need for monsters

man indiana jones line from hasbro is cool! now if only universal monsters can get that much bang! >w< i still think a castle frankenstein with a henry action figure would be great along wih the slab and the equipment....

or the mummy's tomb with mummy and coffin or the stage coach with malva the gypsy.

I wish Doc would make a posting here asking "us" which one of HIS potential five should we do next?

I realize the reasons and logic behind why this wouldn't be possible, but it would be cool if we could vote on it.
