    I get what you're saying...but I don't want "the cheesy factor" when it comes to head sculpts. But no worries, they're getting better...that DareDevil head sculpt is EXCELLENT!!

      Mego figures always walked a line between silliness and realism. As a rule I think a headsculpt like Mego Superman strikes the appropriate balance. He's optimistic but he still looks cool and heroic. Mego Batman, on the other hand, is much too silly looking. As far as the EMCE sets go, I think the Daredevil looks good. Hopefully there won't be any problems with that one like there were with Cap and Thor and Spidey.

        I bought the Spidey set and the Captain America set when they first hit the market. They are displayed proudly with all of my other figures but unless there is a big change in quality, craftsmanship and pricing, I won't be buying any more of these sets. If they start putting out individually packaged figures and introduce figures we haven't had before I will be one of the first in line to open my wallet.
