    Head definitely looks too big on Sivana, Alfred sized big. It isn't quite as bad on him, though, as his noggin often did look oversized in some of the old comics, at least compared to Capt. Marvel's head when they were in the same panel.

    My Sivana and Myx are on the way; hopefully, they'll be here soon.

      I thought of going for all of these, but might just stick with the Batman characters. I missed the Batman series due to being late for the party and can't find them now.

        take a look at my Sivana thread post. Head to me isn't that big and looks fine compared to the comics they probably referenced from.

            Seeing them packaged like that makes them all very tempting.

              The top of my Dr. Sivana clamshell took a beating from the good 'ol USPS, but he and Mxy arrived intact.

              Mxy is terrible... just like the original Mego. I picked him up for the somewhat completest in me. I definitely prefer the FTC redo on this figure. I wish they gave him a new head sculpt with the new body too.

              Sivana of course comes on the shorter body and yes, his head is HUGE! The sculpting is great, but it is just, so, BIG! It would be big on a regular sized body. And he has no socks. Not sure how that affects how well the re-used '66 Mad Hatter shoes stay on. If I ever place an order with someone that makes socks, I will definitely be buying a pair fro the evil doctor.

              Maybe I will open Sivana tomorrow and see how he fits in with the others.

                As I mentioned before, looks like the local (US) orders have been filled first. My order arrived today from CTVT, so others living O'seas who have ordered should be getting their Kresge figures soon too.

                Notice that these have a small sticker giving a number out of 1000 :

                Aquaman - 795 of 1000
                GA - 777 of 1000
                Shazam - 203 of 1000
                Batgirl - 186 of 1000
                WW - 381 of 1000
                Dr Sivana - 580 of 1000

                All numbers are fairly high out of 1000, except Shazam, Batgirl and WW. Does this reflect people buying less of say WW and BG because these 2 figures have been released in so many ways already ? .. or is it just that the stock these were taken from were reversed on the shelves, so the highest numbers were the first to be shipped, thus lower numbers to be used on later order fills like mine.

                I thank FTC / CTVT for being the obvious fans that they are, and making these re-megos. They seemed to have judged things like demand quite well so far I think, and I'd hate to see these releases loose momentum for lack of buying public.

                  These are numbered and then just random boxed in different case assortments in China. It has nothing to do with orders.

                        Does anyone know when series three are likely to be announced?

                          Is Aquaman's belt more opaque than previous releases or is it still a little transparent looking?

                              I would imagine wave 3 would be announced any day now. One of the most exciting sets that they have announced in while. Not sure what they are waiting on to tell you the truth.
