    Likely get Supergirl and Batgirl for themselves, and then definitely both Super-cousins and Shazam for the bodies and heads. Here's hoping we get parts later on. Be sorely tempted to re-do my 12" Giganta using an actual Mego-type body. I would also hope an official 12" Giganta and Apache Chief would a no-brainer here...

        A bit disappointed they up scaled the 8 inch heads. I think the 12 inch skinny body Batman with the long ears is a much better sculpt. Had Mego whited out the eyes, like the comic, it would have been nearly perfect.
        You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

          ^I really like that sculpt too. Has an Irv Novick vibe about him.

            I agree! I think FTC is really missing the boat here--I don't dislike these figures and will likely buy a few, but I think many Megoheads would have been thrilled to get repros of actual 12" figures.
            WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

              I think they're really cool, actually. If they sell well, I could see FTC doing repros of the actual 12" Megos, and other interpretations of popular characters.

              My only gripe is they just can't seem, in any scale, to get the stretchy cloth fabric so they don't look baggy.

              Also, these will likely be out of my price range, but I do think they're cool.

                I actually like what I've seen so far, there not terrible but....for me personally, because of budget and free space,
                I might just grab one, Superman or Shazam and depending, transfer to a 12" mego body.

                I'm assuming they will be window boxed, wonder if there will be any issues with those,
                like squatting knees etc?

                  Have they only shown Batman and Robin so far?
                  I am actually looking forward to a 12" Batman too. I do hope that they do an alternate head as well. Biggest hope is for a 12" Nightwing.

                    I would totally be down for a Green Arrow.

                    Too bad they don't have the Marvel license, I have always wanted a 12" Green Goblin.

                            I'm stoked. I was literally 15 minutes away from ordering materials to enlarge a Supergirl head to do my own 12" version and what to do you know? She's in the first wave? And Batgirl? And Superman? Count. Me. In.
