Dallas unproduced action figure line by Mego

[spockoda]

You probably all have seen the pics of the proposed line of action figures from Mego based on the late evening drama Dallas. Do you think they really would have done well? I think they would have been more ill-conceived than the MASH figures ever were.

How well did the Love Boat line do? That'd be the closest comparison in my opinion.

I doubt I'd have cared for them as a kid.

dont think i would of bothered back then, but now as a collector.......gimmmeeee, and gotta say gort, i lovr the love boat line...lol, would of loved the proposed cruise ship playset aswell

Actually there is a Love Boat Cruise Ship playset, it is made of the white thin preformed plastic like the Star Trek MP and Buck Rogers playsets. Its pretty large to and comes with a bunch of furniture.

M*A*S*H I can understand as boys are drawn towards military stuff. Love Boat and Dallas (if they did go forward with the line), not sure what they were thinking at the time, though I do have a near complete Love Boat set including the cruise ship

wow i thought the cruise ship never got passed the proto stage, would love to see a pic of that , got all the figures myself but never ever come across the ship....

Thats actually the smaller version, theres a larger one that was released in Canada which fit the 3 3/4" action figures and had more room compartments. Will see if I have a pic kicking around
