Our connection with Diamond is solely due to our being introduced to them by Paramount after we approached the studio directly with the toys. I am a former Star Trek licensee ('91-'98) and my wife worked on several of the shows so we are very experienced in the property. Diamond has a Star Trek series license (but as you see, the movie license went to Playmates), so the only way Paraomount could grant us permission to do the figures was to work through Diamond. As for the other Star Trek Megos, since Diamond has the license and I feel an obligation to defer to their announcement timing. Toy Fair is in a couple of weeks and we assume they wil make announcements for the rest of the 2008 line. I can say that we love the playsets too and are looking into ways to develop them. Stay tuned. 56:

Is there any connection between EMCE & Art Asylum? Are there any plans in the future for the following Megos: Cheron Neptunian Mugato Talos Uhura Gorn Love the Keeper and the Andorian. Would love to see all of the aliens released! I actually had an Enterprise Bridge Playset in my childhood, but sadly destroyed it within days of getting it for Xmas. I must've spun Uhura in the transporter so many times that her head fell off! Boy do I regret trashing that toy now. Are there any plans in the pipeline for Retro Mego Playsets?? Always wanted the Gamma VI playset. Joe Sena:

I was under the impression that once you have a name here, it is exclusive. Is this correct? I'm Gary Seven! I'm Gary Seven! I have been, and always shall be, Gary Seven.

Since you're working exclusively with the Abrams family, is it too early to tell if they and EMCE and Diamond have any plans to re-release any other non-TREK classic Mego figures, like the Marvel & DC superhero line? I probably shouldn't even ask... if the answer turns out to be yes, I may go broke by the end of the year reliving my childhood, between the retro-Megos and the TREK film! #47 – Joe Sena
