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 can Understand some people are not interested in all 3 figures nor do the wish to buy all 3 at 1 shot, but as I have stated Numerous times in other posts, the Figures from FTC $24.99 EACH these sets are $69... I have yet to see them for $80, then buy 2 bodies from doc at $5 each that's $79 for 3 Marvel Figures comes to $26.66 each only $1.66 more than FTC, And your getting better quality figures, Those of you switching out your FTC Figures to other bodies your price just went form $24.99 to $29.99 or $32.99 depending where your getting your bodies from... Only complaint I see here is to Mattel for wanting them produced this way
Amok Time $69.99
Entertainment earth $69.99 and if you spend $100 Free ShippingComment

Well, I don't know if that's a good comparison, because:
1. Darth Vader wore a helmet, and a removable helmet is the first thing I see people gush over on any good Darth Vader figure.
2. Darth Vader didn't spend 50% of his time with his helmet off, like Wolverine does.
3. The Wolverine set actually does come with a non-removable-masked Wolverine head, just to a different costume. So if Darth Vader had a second, awesome brown costume that he wore for a while in the 1980s, you would get that helmet. And it would not come off.Last edited by DSTZach; Mar 10, '15, 1:46 PM.Comment

For the record I am buying 2 Caps, 1 Wovie and 2 Thors I am just trying to get you to guys to do as good job on future stuff and I have lots of complaints
about FTC stuff that I am buying too. I really like Spidey and Thor and I know you guys do good work. Darth was a bad analogy what you do with Ironman and Daredevil
is what I am waiting on.Comment

Yeah the point is that the removable masks in this size of figure always look pretty bad. Thats why Mego abandoned it after the original Batman figure and went with the molded cowl version. I too wouldn't want to see a Darth Vader with a giant puffy, rubber, removable mask. If it could be done in hard plastic and not look terrible, then ok. But no one would want to see one done in the style and format of this Wolverine figure.My posts were needlessly deleted ...Comment

I haven't taken any good shots of the figure with the mask on. It actually looks pretty darn good. Sorry some of you won't be buying it.
And Darth Vader is still a terrible comparison. Making a removable Vader mask out of soft rubber would be as difficult and unlikely as making a removable Wolverine mask out of hard plastic.Comment

Mego made a better body, started heat pressing the suit emblems on (Fantastic Four), and abandoned the removable masks.My posts were needlessly deleted ...Comment

What mego would have done is less important than what the collectors will buy. I have pre ordered 1 wolverine because I like the sculpted mask but I would have bought at least 2 SETS if he came with 2 sculpted masks. Is'nt it more important to learn from these sets to increase sales instead of guessing what MEGO what have done.
Jayraytee is right that mego got away from these cowls and did not bring them back when they added new charectors like Ironman and Green Goblin . Since this forum is a big
chunk of people that buy remegos it is a good place to get an idea what people will buy versus we know what you wan'tComment
