Hmmmm, I don't really have an opinion on these. Good news, Bad news? I sometimes see Mego in discussions, so I thought I would post it here.

That style of toy never did much for me.
Bringing back Mego style stuff was all the rage about 20 years ago. (Remember Toy Biz's Marvel Famous Covers? Makes me feel old.) But yeah, most the retail attempts at such things just petered out. But there are/were other producers making that stuff selling it online or specialty shops. |

Cool! But like Sean said above they don't do much for me. Like the Marvel famous covers they are coll to see in store but I probably won't be bringing one home.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I wonder if Hasbro is testing the waters to see how well these do and maybe bring a line of Joes into the fold to see how it goes. I'm not really into this style of figure but it would be cool just to see Joes on the shelves again.

IMO just trying to offer cheaper version of mezco, and I hope they don’t attempt with joe as it will fail badly and again make some bean counter at Hasbro say “ oh the brand is dead “ hey here is an idea Hasbro seeing as Marvel Legends sell really good to adults and kids let’s make a year long trial run of 6” GIJoe Legends and have it 4 waves, one wave per quarter. And have it equal assortments of 4 characters 2 of each for 8 figs per case. And price them the same as the legends with accessories and gear, hell have a BAF of snake armour or a RAM motorcycle, pac rats, BATs. If it is successful continue the brand, if not Don’t, it’s not like they won’t sell at all and lose money.
