    Bad ebay pic of series one Retro action carded. Is this legit?

    Kind of a bad pic but you can see the accessories.

    DC Universe 8" Mego World Greatest Super Heroes Retro - eBay (item 390153341042 end time Feb-15-10 1926 PST)
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

    Superman doesn't look like he has a curl, just a blob. The gloves all suck and I think Superman's chest emblem is too low. The gloves should be the same material as the sleeves. Maybe the next wave will look better. And it is legit.

      Not much excitement about the figures being out already. Golly, that's strange...

        Retro

        My "excitement" has been tempered by the MOC shot from the auction link posted by Werewolf. Sorry to be negative, but Superman's boots just look horrible, way too chunky and improperly fashioned. Green Lantern and Sinestro's "gloves" look almost as goofy as the oven mitts with none of the nostalgic charm. I'll admit it's tough to judge based on that one shot. And I really, really want to love these. Still, I'm beginning to believe you really "can't go home again".

          I would be really excited, but seeing them from the waist down just makes me think of all the cash I will have to spend to make them right, and the excitement fades. Still, I am very much looking forward to seeing some close up photos. Hopefully the production heads all look great.

            Luthor doesnt look so bad. His collar stands up. But after "Green Arrow Autopsy" I know if I get him he's going on a EMCE body.( that I already have)

            *If he doesnt cost 25 dollars

            * If I can find one like a normal person. Just drive to a store and get one. No "hunt"

            I thought these werent coming out till Easter?

              Will these be at TRU now? What about pre orders thru Big Bad Toy store? I have not heard anything about them being ready to ship. Has anyone else? And yea, in this photo Superman does'nt look so great and his legs look too skinny for those high boots.

                    I can't believe that no one else has noticed that both Green Lantern and Sinestro come with lanterns....

                      surely not all the backing cards are going to be the same mustard colour!

                        Apparently they're legit

                        But the legs look even worse on these than on GA

                          I'll reserve final judgement till I see one of these in person, but if they look like that pic blecch.

                            not sure if its the legs or they are wearing there dads welly boots

                            ok so here we go for the saga shambles part 2

                            ga was late these are early

                            on the same yucky backing card... hopefully not, surely some imagination was used when deciding what colour backing cards for different characters?

                            no one seems to be able to answer questions

                            and then a set turns up on ebay

                            typical made in china goods

                            so the thread where we all put input on asking do matty take our thoughts into consderation fell on deaf ears then

                            sadly i wont be spending any of my recession hard hit hard earned money on these... not saying i wont trade for some i may do that but i cant see me buying any more sorry just my opinion and i like to speak my mind

                            id rather save my money and buy real megos

                              Wave 1 cards are the same yellow-orange as Green Arrow.
                              Wave 2 will have a different color card.

                              I don't answer questions until I get the okay from Mattel
                              to speak. Sorry for the silence, but loose lips sink ships.
