I am cleaning up (at least, that's what I told my wife!) and I decided to open these real quick to take a look at them:
Wendy & Marvin 1.jpg
Very 70s-ish looking! Perfect Mego character fodder. I was surprised at their size, which I didn't realize in package. They are on 7" kid bodies, even though Marvin looks a little more buff. Wendy is on the less articulated, straight arm girl body, but I like it; it fits her. I guess I envisioned Marvin to be about the same height and lankiness as Shaggy, but they were kids and FTC got it right. Now, let's get the negatives out the way...
Marvin's cape doesn't hang and has a weird design, as shown in the picture. Not sure why they did that. And my Marvin's pants don't really close, even when I do pull the velcro over to attach them. But with his arms down, the shirt pretty much hides it. The shoes are for an 8" figure, but work well enough. Does he stand on his own? Yes, so no complaints on the shoes. Not sure I like his eyes always looking to his left though.
I guess Wendy could have had bigger hair, since it's molded hair and not "real", and I guess they could have used the more articulated girls body, but I really have no complaints with her.

Everything else is pretty positive. It's Wendy and Marvin. In Mego form. How cool is that?
Also, I just folded down the edges of Marvin's cape and that definitely helps the look:
