I just saw this on FB. An Atlas toy line ? I knew they were making some sort of announcement at 8, but I haven't seen the video, I did see a few reactions to the announcement on the Mego Museum forums just before I clicked here and saw your post. I'm not sure who the Target demographic is supposed to be, and I am not sure any brick and mortar retailer would carry these, bit it's a thing I guess. -M

The same ones who buy pretty much all the Megos. I’d definitely bite for The Scorpion and The Grim Ghost. They also did an update on the Marvel license. Sounds like they’ll be an even bigger pain in the ass to buy than usual.

If the late middle-aged dudes in the Mego forums are any indication, they have been pissing and moaning about what figures are being produced, especially all the new licenses when they haven't gotten reissues of all the classic Mego yet and obscure Trek characters like Nurse Chapel, Trelaine and Harry Mudd haven't been added, or the Teen Titans sized figures and Supergals haven't been produced and aren't buying anything that isn't classic Mego reissues or extensions of those lines they want and haven't been happy with Mego's choices for about 2 years now. I don't think those dudes are going to embrace an Atlas line. Some of the customizers among those dudes might buy them for parts, but I don't see the line striking a chord with the middle age Mego dudes. -M
