Remember this guy (Doc Mego) way back in the late 90s and early 2000s when he used to sell stuff he made himself at his house. I used to call him up and order over the phone lol and see him at all the toy shows....Great guy! and he has not changed a bit!
I LOVE The Lord of the Rings and have both figures, please make more. Very excited to hear about Star Trek 50th anniversary figures, the Andorian Ambassador looks wonderful, so does the Talosion (which should be shorter, you made smaller figures before)
I'd like more LOTR, but I want some original designs based on the books, or maybe off of Mike Ploog's designs for the 1978 movie. There's too much Peter Jackson films stuff out there, and as the designs in that film are highly detailed (and to match, the fanbase for those movies seems to expect that in their merch), it doesn't mesh well with mego's products. They would be better suited for some original interpretations, something based on existing Tolkien art (like Angus McBride or the Brothers Hildebrandt), or the aforementioned figures based on the 1978 Bakshi film. Much better fit to the style, and would add some variety to the world of LOTR merch that is (overly) dominated by the 2000s film series.
Mego Horror: This Island Earth Metaluna Mutant. She-Creature. It! The Terror Beyond Space, Night Of The Blood Beast. The Thing (1951) Mego Sports: Mike Tyson. Mego LOTR: bad guys like Sauron, Saruman. Mego Planet of the Apes: 1974 TV series people and apes.
Thanks a LOT for the tour. It's just so, sooo amazing as to what all they have to offer. I am now almost drooling here. 😀 They even make me want their action figures from IPs I absolutely do not care about. That's how beautiful and well-done they are!!
I always hated Mego's catwoman outfit. They should remake her to look like Julie newmar's catwoman in a sleek black sequined outfit with just a simple black face mask, but that pirate outfit has got to go!
These action figures, other toys (Tonka trucks, matchbox cars) was my childhood. Eternally grateful for that. Tried to get my grandkids to get into it, but unfortunately kids don't have as much imagination than we did (Thank you ipad🙄)
I hope they come out with a Vima (green orion woman) , Noona (private little war), Harry Mudd for the star trek line n a Doomsday, Killer Croc for the DC hero line
Love the cartoon version Klingon & number one. I hope she will have rooted hair. Hopefully we will get a female romulan commander. & planet of the apes anniversary ape figures 😎
Sadly Megos are so poorly made they come apart & break in your hands when you pose them as the plastic is so cheap and joints so poorly attached and affixed to cheap plastic housings that its really is a shame on the company they cannot make them sturdier ...
If you want people to buy LOTR, do the characters people want. Frodo, Sam, Gollum... And maybe do some based on the animated movies. Aragorn and Legolas are basically background characters.
