A new order form has surfaced, and while these things are always subject to change (and have changed), this is a pretty interesting look at where Mego intends to go.
The World’s Greatest Superheroes lead the charge with a wave that doesn’t include a single original mego WGSH reproduction. It’s somebody’s wishlist of DC characters we never got.
In the Entertainment side, we have some returning licenses like Willy Wonka (yay!), classic Star Trek and Creepshow with the previously announced Creep figure. Many surprises with the new licenses, including House of Dragons, Ted Lasso, Krampus and National Lampoon’s Vacation.
ENTERTAINMENT: SCIFI / HORROR / MOVIES
Conjuring Universe – Annabelle Comes Home
Alice Cooper- Welcome 2 my Nightmare
Ghostface Variants
Willy Wonka Oompa Loompa
House of Dragons – Daemon Targaryen
House of Dragons – Rhaenyra Targaryen
Ted Lasso
Creepshow Christmas Creep
Krampus
National Lampoon Christmas Vacation – Clark Griswold
Star Trek TOS – Andorian Ambassador
