    Invisible Man







    Got him today along with Nosferatu. All clear body, floppy Mattel flashback waist, weak ankles, does not stand. I gave up half way thru the pics trying to pose him. First time I've run into body issues with a Mego or EMCE figure, so surprised. Maybe its the material used for the clear body and the different bands too. Suit is pretty lackluster too.

    I like the rest, but this was a little bit of a let down for me. Its just a clear guy in a suit, certainly doesnt shout horror/invisible man, and for that reason wont be buying this. Even the card art doesnt save it.

      Oh, the card art is really weak, I was assuming usual Mego quality on the figure tho, not the case. I had plans to make him a bit more on model but now I won't waste my time.

          His head doesn't look as clear as the promo pictures did.

                If anyone has written off this figure, I'd like the black suit and flask.

                          The fact they used an Al Bundy/LT. Leslie head kind of boggles the mind, cost saver maybe?
                          I think a head wrap and dark glasses might have been a better choice, but the fact the body is clear is pretty neat.

                            if nothing else the body should be great for customs.

                              Oh *No*! Oh I'm challenged to read this feedback. Sigh.
                              Personally, I use small, strategic dabs of Shoe Goo II on clear items/joints, & clean up any excess of glue with dabs of Rubber Cement Thinner + cotton swabs. I'm curious if it's repairable. Is the waist really that loose? Oh no.
