Ok, just opened my third new Mego. I had opened Bela as the several pics of Malformed Belas got to me. Mine was fine but the complexity of his clothing made it difficult to pose him and I really didn't want to stip him down. The second was Kelly Garrett and she was used for a custom. I didn't notice anything bad at all and it just seemed an excellent quality female figure, much like my FTC Batgirl from the 66 Batman line.
Aj however, was the test subject. For one thing I have three of him now. The new ones. 4 vintage ones, 2 CTVT kit ones, and now 3 Mego 2.0 AJ's.
First things first. The whole is it a tpe 3 argument is silly. It's just another Type 2 body, neckpost model. There just is not enough visual change to justify calling it T3 or T18 or TMMXVIII or whatever. It is a T2-N.
Second, the boot toe crack. this is not a damaged boot and I haven't opened up the others to see if it's universal or not, but it is in the same spot on both boots, on the right side of the toe box on top. It isn't a huge flaw and I think it is an artifact left by a flaw in whatever boot was being molded. It's fine, just weird.
The suit is great. Thick enough it isn't see through and it doesn't feel fragile. Thin enough he has full range of motion. Seated he can cross his legs ankle to knee and place his hands on his knees. The belt seems very original style.
The face sculpt is the same but different. It resembles the original sculpt but he looks less happy. Is it the paint app that gives that impression? a very subtle difference n the sculpt? IDK. But this AJ looks very annoyed at somebody about something.
The hands look less bony than original hands. A slightly softer more flexible plastic than the original Mego hands which may result in fewer broken off fingers. A big plus.
Anyway, that's my impressions of the new AJ/
