              Sweet, love the extra articulation and the bigger upper arms. How are they in weight? Like real Megos or more like DM's?

                Twixt and tween

                Serously Thomas, a little heavier than Originals and a little lighter than DM's...

                  Fantastic, David, congratulations. Are the hands interchangeable?

                    Is it my thoughts running away with me--- or are the hands
                    on this new body made with the thought of having them hold accessories better
                    while still attempting to mimic the look of the original Mego hands as much as possible?

                    To my eyes the hands look VERY simillar to classic Mego hands, but still have
                    a bit more "curl" to the fingers---a nice compromise to those going for a classic look.

                      Yeah, good eye Hugh... these are Rainfall/LJN style hands from the later MEG0 era and they will be a soft, kung-fu Grip like material. We have these, some serious gun grippers, and fists, and boot feet. I'll post pix tonight when I get back home if I can. And yes Scott everything will be interchangable, at least that's the plan. Hands, feet, pins, joints, hardware etc. should all match to a vintage type 2.

                      Sorry for the wait, I actually snuck home and picked this package up this morning and then hightailed it back to work

                      It was worth it

                        That's great news (about the hands) Dave.

                        For a guy that really tries to ride that thin line between "vintage"
                        and "practical when it comes to display pose/accessory potential" with my customs--
                        this'll present quite a few interesting possibilities for "custom creation" choices.

                        Thanks for the info on your exciting new stuff.

                          You got it! That's the key for us as well Hugh... Keep the original MEGO flavor and then very subtly and tactfully update to make them more appealing to today's market.

                          Let's see if it works

                              Awesome!

                              The open hand looks based upon the Rainfall Bible figure hands which do hold accessories better (and the swivel bicep matching Mego's pigment 'there he goes again' as well).
