Megas DVDs! Sort of...

Gonin - The Five Killers

Created by my pal Eric Calderon of Afro Samurai fame and developed along with another friend, Mark Waid (Kingdom Come), I am very excited about this property. The guys behind the upcoming Dark Knight and Spirit features have expressed some serious interest, so hopefully we might be rocking on the script(s) soon.

Three different cups featuring the iconic robots of Megas will be available: Gorrath's Mech, Kiva's Drone, and of course, Megas. Look for them to hit this month.

The Megas Toys That Never Were...

And speaking of toys, here' s a still from the fake Megas XLR action figure commercial (available on the Downtown DVD) we made for a Cartoon Network staff meeting. A friend crafted the figs and Jody made the Megas and Glorft mech. The Megas was based on a Gundam.

Coop had "Rock On" action, and Kiva was supposedly anatomically-correct. Not sure what Jamie did - if anything. Megas had lights and sounds, but I think it was all Gundam-type stuff. Each of the figures was given to the respective voice actors, and the Megas went to our exec at CN.

A number of crew made cameos - writers, artists and even our supervising producer, Chris P, who's creepy performance so disturbed the execs, we had to cut most of it out.

Proto-Megas

Here's an early take on Megas by Chris P. One of my favorites - I wish we made toys of these early concepts. Coop, Kiva and Jamie can be seen as well.
