    When are they going to make a swivel arm body. Or more articulation. Like swivel knees. I think they got their money out those plates. Time to upgrade.

      I hear what your saying, although I know Doc has the swivel arm bodies and I'm guessing that quality would be a little better, but hey that's just me.

        I'd spend any "upgrade" money on better-sculpted, better-scaled heads. Just my opinion.

          I'd also venture Plastic Man would look great on this body.

            This is why I prefer the first 3 on Type 1 bodies rather than type 2.

              My first thought on seeing the skinny body was "I wish they'd had that when I made Mercury."

              It would be an excellent set to do in classic Mego style, and they could do each one of them correctly proportioned now.

                ^ Yeah! Perhaps "hulk" body for Lead and new muscle body for Iron.

                  I am seriously considering the not-Action Jackson bits; AJ was the first Mego figure I got, a surprise for my birthday because my parents thought he was like my GI Joes. They told me if I didn't want him, they'd take him back. Needless to say, that didn't happen and basically started my Mego craze and eventually my collecting (I always told them my action figure mania was all their fault because of that first AJ). Putting together a few of those would be a real nostalgic rush, but the one thing they are missing on CTVT (and Doc Mego) is the short white army boots.

                    AJ was always my throw away figure. I'd get the big panels that had 8 different costumes with him in the middle. Then all of my Super Heroes would have Secret Identity clothes!

                    That's why I always wanted a maskless Green Arrow!
