    Is there any news yet on when this wave will be arriving? I'm really hoping it's before mid August as I have a Rocky waiting to be shipped from BBTS to the UK and I'm hoping I can send it with my wave 8 orders otherwise it's going to be one expensive Rocky for me :(

      Really? Mego has the DC license in hand? I hadn't heard that since apparently FTC has that license.......

        Mego has the license with select mass-market retailers, who inevitably are calling the shots right now and likely playing into the delay.

        FTC has a gift and specialty shop license.

        Segmenting licenses like this is the new normal.

            It's strange that FTC only has a gift and specialty shop license, and is producing Deathstroke, Swamp thing, Constintine, GA. Sandman, and Hawkgirl. I really wan't Mego to do Hawkwoman from the JLU with plastic wings as well as Deathstroke

              Monsters In Motion has carded photos for EXORCIST, FLY, HYDE, cancelled M.MYERS, and

              Mego Corporation has created Leatherface, from the classic Texas Chain Saw Massacre series, as an 8-inch action figure. Each high quality figure features real fabric clothing and 14 points of articulation comes packaged in a clamshell display with a full color insert card..

                Strange that Myers would be canceled, even though they obviously picked the worst Halloweens (but probably cheapest) to base it on. Still figured it'd be relatively popular.

                  Myers was cancelled a while back and replaced with Hannibal Lector, although I think Brian mentioned that he will be coming, but at a later date.

                    Myers wasn’t cancelled, but postponed. Licensing stinks.
                    Expectation is the death of discovery.

                      I hope Mego figures start to show up at Wal-Mart and other retailers in Canada. I have had to order all my figures online and there are still so many I would like to get. I can't find them anywhere here in Canada, not even at EB Games or any other specialty shop.

                        Ah, guess I haven't been following close enough. Or maybe I knew and forgot? Certainly possible.
