    Oven mitts on new DC characters...yes or no?

    Assuming Figures does indeed get around to making all new DC Re-Mego characters, would you want some figures to have the old oven mitts just to keep them truly Mego-esque?

    Say yellow oven mitts on Dr. Fate for instance?

    My logic is if they were to dump the oven mitts completely in favor of molded plastic gloves or colored hands, the more figures they make, it's just gonna make the few figures that have the mitts stand out more and more as the line goes on.

    Eventually they'll look out of place, don't you agree?

    I'd rather see colored hands and cuffs like Green Goblin.

      Yeah, only the earliest WGSH had the oven mitts. I think the Fantastic Four should be the model going forward (heat sealed emblem and plastic molded gloves).

        Being as I don't have any original WGSH, I want the ones that originally came with OM to have them. The new DC characters they make should have the molded hands. If they ever got the Marvel license, I wouldn't want my Hulk to have OM.

          But how am Hulk supposed to get cookies out of hot oven?

            The open hand and fist gloves they sell look fantastic on a figure, I think they should use them as they move forward. You could also buy extras and convert swap the oven mitts the early waves are using if you want a consistent look to your collection.

                Colored hands and cuffs works best. No gloves.

                  Funny you post this, John and I were just talking about it. Since they have the Cataway style gloves that look more fitting , I think they should right a long time wrong!

                      I'm nostalgic about the oven mitts but practically the colored hands and cuffs work much better. I'm anxious to see the molded fist gloves I ordered from CTVT but I'm afraid Batmans gonna look like he's wearing Hulk Hands, Sheldon Cooper style.

                        that is a good question. Putting on those silly oven mitts is a pain. I just got in an original Batman outfit to replace my well used one and I forgot how hard it is. I am thinking about buying the CTVT molded gloves to see how they look.

                          I've always disliked those oven mitts.

                            NO.

                            Do them on the ones who had 'em. Then move on like MEGO did. Green Arrow didn't have mitts.

                              Ditch the mitts.
                              If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.
