Captain America

[nobody]

These are pretty nice. People have been complaining about the cost, so I thought I might use facts and logic and break this down.
Let's assume you were buying these parts from let's say CTVT and others accomplished members....
Repro Figure-25.00
2 Shields- 10.00
1 cap uniform-15.00
2 Vinyl heads-20.00
1 helmut- 5.00
2 pair of boots-10.00
Steve shirt and pants-10.00
3 sets of hands-15.00

That would be 110.00 worth of pretty generic parts.
This is a set catered to Captain America. Go find the parts for less than 80.00, and tell me where.

I really enjoy these figure sets, I apologize if I sound stupid, but will they also be doing these for
some DC characters like Supeman, Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, Green Lantern
Flash? Thanks!

These are under a Marvel license.

I don't care a fig about packaging, vintage or modern.

I do understand your dismay, just not the extent of it--it is able to be remedied, unlike some other concerns with this line, like paints/sculpts.

Cap is my favorite set thus far, too.

at 80 bucks plus shipping, I don't want to "remedy" anything.

[Vinny0026]

anyone know who is offering the best price to reserve the cap set?

I forget who I reserved spidy through

[wise guy]

Is this the final product ? It would be cool if they could give us an extra star decal like FTC is doing with WGH Batman. I have decided to buy 2 Capt.America sets
but also feel at the 80.00 price I should'nt have to fix these. If it was'nt for my spidey sets turning out so nice (compared to those horrible first pix) I would have held off
from buying. Hopefully Thor will look good in finished product but Wolverine has 2 ugly Logan heads and a weird cowl .Since Wolverine is advertised as WOLVERINE
and not as Logan or Weapon -X should'nt he have 2 painted heads and 1 secet identity head as all the other sets have (per liscence restriction )
I hope we don't get 2 Tony Stark heads and 1 painted Ironman head or removable cowl Daredevil

BBTS has it for $69.99

We felt the Cap route we went with was preferable to something that people might not like and that was non-remediable. But sorry people don't like it.

If you read the booklet that came with Spidey, the Mego customization aspect (both as adults and kids) was something we really wanted to play up with these sets. If you don't like something, you can change it.

[DSTZach]

And wise guy, Wolverine takes his mask off a lot. We thought making his second head a removable mask head was fitting with the character, and with what Mego would have done.

[wise guy]

Thanks for being honest . I am probably getting woverine because I almost skipped Spidey sets but once I got them in hand I really loved em

[wise guy]

It's frustrating ( after close to 40 years) collector's are finally getting marvel megos and yet the flaws in some of these sets are too noticeable to overlook.
I am glad that they are not attempting Star Wars in this format because I don't think a removable cowl Darth Vader with 2 anakin heads and a huge ugly
removable cowl would make it in to my collection

the floppy star hanging by a thread is clearly acceptable

[wise guy]

I hate that star too! Wolverine's removable cowl distracted me from how messy it looks

I was assuming that was just for the packaging sample; I can't see that happening with the finished product.
