    Which Bodysuits Are Most Like Classic Mego?

          It's got a nice look. Hmmm...

          What if I want something more snug, like the fit of the Supercollector suit?

            Dave Lee has the snuggest fitting suits, but I don't think he has any Supercollector ones.

            As Brian Leit if he'll do one for you.
