[Hulk]

Sweet! Another truly cool exclusive first look!

[Meule]

They nailed the sculpts, they nailed the outfits and they nailed the cards (sweet art), I'm majorly impressed with these

[LonnieFisher]

All around awesomeness!

[alex]

Looking brilliant, Flash looks like hes got a glow in the dark head, isnt Mings head a little slim?, I was really hoping they would be in clamshells, So I wouldnt have to buy two. The art work is fantastic.

[MIB41]

SWEET! Can't wait to get my hands on both of those. Great additions to the Mego community.

[The Bat]

NICE! I'll be buying these!:yes:

Cool to see Doc's new Body with swivel Biceps! LOVE IT!

[wilbs518]

They look great! Nice card art! I will be buying both of these.

[Brown Bear]

Keep the mego's coming, baby!!

[Chris]

The heads look translucent. It could be just the photo. I'll just repaint it if I'm unhappy w/it. They look pretty good.

[SpaceAgent]

Great stuff! One question: Why does it say for Ages 14+? Are 12 year olds going to choke on Ming's beard or something?

[Mikey]

Really nice.

I'll be these are going to be a hit even outside the Mego community.

[highquality]

Love 'em!! The heads definitely do differ from the prototypes. Looks like some of the thin and squishy heads. Personally I like that though.

[blastphemey]

wow, those are sweet, that card artwork is beautiful

[MIB41]

Is the artist who created the card artwork a member of our forum?

[SeattleEd]

Very nice. Heads looking translucent but overall gorgeous figure. Even the new LJN arms are nice. Hope DOC sells these arms to retrofit old and current bodies.

[CrimsonGhost]

I'm fairly sure the card art is vintage movie poster art. At least I thought I read that somewhere, but i could be wrong.

I haven't ever been able to sit thru this whole movie, but I like these figures for sure!

[rche]

is that a mugato belt?

[Werewolf]

Awesome! I'm so getting those. BTW, no Dale?

[Godzilla]

I think those will be impossible not to buy once see them.

[Captain]

I hate to nit pick, but the heads dont look right. Are these samples or finished products?

[MegoSteve]

I don't think you're nit-picking at all, Captain. They look terrible.

[vulcan2074]

Hoorah! These are super amazing. :beaming1:
Sammy

[The Kryptonite Kid]

WOW!! Those look sharp! Really looking forward to getting my hands on em' :grin:

[raider5gt]

Great looking figures and cool artwork.

Not long until August :cool_y:

[JediJaida]

Very nice looking indeed. But, I agree with the others, the heads are a smidge translucent.

[fallensaviour]

Very nice looking indeed. But, I agree with the others, the heads are a smidge translucent.

I agree???
Those new swivel arms do look pretty cool though.

[bondtoddbond]

I don't think you're nit-picking at all, Captain. They look terrible.

I go along with the rest, the heads need work. I like the card art.

[captact]

AT LAST!!! SOMEONE SINCERE!!! In my opinion,..i really dont like the material used for the heads,..they look translucent, small and way thin,...the pkg, bodies and costumes are way AWESOME,..but if i buy them,..and no changes are made,..i will have to opt in sewing Mings collar higher to conceal the neck and paint his and Flash's head more flesh color. Of course,..this is my opinion,...

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

I like the sculpts and the outfits very much.

[mightyquinn]

Like the sculpts and outifs too, heads need work. How much will these retail for?

[JDeRouen]

I suspect the final product will be better than what we're seeing here.

[Klytus]

I’m a bit iffy on the heads as well --but ooooooooooooh, those costumes! Ming’s robes are a singular work of art!!!

I do hope these aren’t production pieces and that the finished heads are a bit more, um, finished. :grin:

No “exclusive” version of Flash in his iconic t-shirt? Would be a pretty simple variant to produce, methinks...

[Klytus]

I'm fairly sure the card art is vintage movie poster art. At least I thought I read that somewhere, but i could be wrong.

I think the art is actually more of a nod to the vintage, UK Weetabix album cover (of all things!) Bif Bang Bow certainly did their homework...

[Spyweb007]

The heads may look better in person, they kinda remind me of the LJN SWAT heads in color, and those look fine in person.

Good eye and you're right, there is somebody at BBP who loves this movie dearly, it's why there are figures in the first place.

[drmego]

you betcha - true to MEGO, why make a new tool when an old one
will do.


is that a mugato belt?

[kennermike]

when is the street day on these? August ?

[EmergencyIan]

I think the figures and the packaging looks terrific!

I remember my grandfather taking me to see this movie when I was 4 or 5.

[MIB41]

Between Flash and the Dude, I am ready to buy. I just don't know when I can. A release date for these figures would be nice.

[Klytus]

Somebody in Manhattan loves this movie dearly, too! (That would be me :smiley1:)

And Me Me Me Too!!!!!
