Are there any new Mego bodies that are the color of the new bandless Black Adam body? He's pretty tanned looking. I can't think of any that would be a match, but most of my figures are stored away in boxes and not very accessible. None of the ones I have on-hand are anywhere near the same color. I want to make a custom Namor from the Adam head, so I need the body to match as close as possible. Thanks!

Paul mentioned in a live stream I was on that Mego going forward would be trying to match the 70s tan look of our childhood faves. So hang tight I guess?Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

But, those will be on the new bandless bodies. I don't want a Namor with a huge waist gap. Unless they fix the gap, it'll be the same problem I'm having now.Comment

Taylor has a nice tan, much closer to the original bodies, and he is on the old Nu Mego body. I'm thinking from what has been said that there's a strong possibility the astronaut version of him might be on the same body. We've heard that wave 15 will still be a mix of old and new bods, and I imagine it would be more economical to re-use the same head and body rather than having to adapt the head to the bandless body.Comment

Why do you need a non-Trek body to match the Scotty tan? Are you making something that has the body showing? If not, you could just switch out the legs and keep the torso and arms with the head.Comment

Wave 15 must be getting dispatched now; this seller has several of the new figs pictured for body/variant intel: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ssn...75.m3561.l2562Comment

The back of the package for George Taylor says AHSA and not ANSA on his uniform. That's quite a mistake, in my opinion.

Where is that image from? The new wave 15 'Astronaut Taylor'? I ask because my Topps Taylor has a real image of Heston on the back, and I think it's weird that they could use a real image of him on the Topps figure and not on the wide release...Last edited by apes3978; Jun 29, '22, 1:55 AM.Comment

Wow, that's really weird.
On the plus side, the Mutant card I showed in my review is not the one the stores are getting, so the font glitch was fixed.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

What makes you say they couldn't use Heston's likeness? I know that was an issue with the original Mego line back in the day, but recent figures (including the 8" ones from NECA and Mego) made me think that issue had been resolved.Comment
