July 2008: "LIVING DEAD" FIGURES DELAYED UNTIL OCTOBER 2008
EMCE announced that the first two figures in its planned NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD line have been pushed back until October due to manufacturing delays.
The entire press release can be downloaded here.
Complete card art is available for preview and can be downloaded here.
Besides the impact on time, this has no effect on wholesale orders or retail preorders, as all will be honored and delivered when the items are received from the factory.
We sincerely regret any inconvenience this delay has caused.

DIAMOND SELECT TOYS AND EMCE TOYS BRING
RETRO STAR TREK FIGURES BACK!

Diamond Select Toys announced today on their website that they
will release a series of retro 8" STAR TREK action figures. These
figures are exact reproductions of the classic MEGO toys of the
1970s, manufactured by EMCE Toys.
The first two figures, Capt. Kirk and The Klingon (at right) will
be available for sale in June.

EMCE owes special thanx to Michael Leavey and Chuck Terciera
at DST, Brad Fazzari and John Vancitters at CBS Consumer
Products, Gary Berman, Adam Malin and Erin Ferries at Creation
Entertainment, Ken Abrams at Character Vision and our pal
Matt Keller at DC Comics.
And of course, special thanx to Marty Abrams, founder of MEGO
and father of the modern action figure. If not for his efforts "back
in the day" and the joy we experienced as kids playing with his
products, we wouldn�t be here.
