    These people need to fire their sculptor, on account of these being the ugliest action figures in existence. The lips are too pale, and the expressions on all four faces makes the original Mego figure sculpts look like masterpieces by Michelangelo!

    I am not about to shell out my money for this stuff!

      Here is hoping that Nubia figure turns out good.

            Steve Trevor or Steve Howard

            Wonder Woman bio Steve Trevor or Steve Howard
            Eros spent a few years with the memories of Steve Trevor believing himself to be the true Steve brought back to life by Aphrodite but went by dark haired Steve Howard since Steve Trevor's death was still remembered by people.

              Alright lets really compare the images from the Mego on the left to the FTC on the right:

              Diana Prince
              MEGO Face Diana Prince.jpgFTC Face Diana Prince.jpg
              Well if the FTC bun was lower and had "makeup" along with the dark shades this may have turned out better.

              Wonder Woman
              MEGO Face Wonder Woman.jpgFTC Face WW.jpg
              "makeup", tiara, brush the hair, and finish with the lines on the suit. Also add a lasso.

                  Exactly. They’re not exactly great replicas.
                  And moderator, what’s with the other member’s cracks at “PC/SJW sensibilities?” We’re discussing toys, quite sociably, thank you veddy much.

                    No contest, mego clinches by a landslide, look at the difference with Wonder Woman.
                    It’s almost insulting.

                      Hippolyta is the least bad of the female figures. I’d like to see one of our talented painting wizards repaint these heads and see if they can replicate the old Mego look.

                        Rusty Diamante has already done so, I believe!

                            They look odd because FTC skip the 70's makeup & accessories...

                              Look, when you send 12" figures to China and ask for a rescale, and these are what's produced, I'd say either production or communication needs re-examined. Only Steve is tolerable. It's like FTC is flushing their capital $$.

                              I may selectively support them, but I will never understand them. For example, they made an awful Firestorm but turned around and made a nice Parademon with a costume pattern that would have served Firestorm well.
                              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.
