    I love this one!! Great colors, great head sculpt, great design. While there have been nits I have picked at Mattel's and FTC's versions of the Fastest Man Alive, this one checks all the boxes for me. This is the Mego Flash I always wanted!

      The fabric itself is a great shade of red and to my eye it looks like the symbol and lighting motif are separate and heat sealed onto the fabric, rather than the whole thing being screen printed like Superman and Batman were.

        Nice! That sounds like an awesome idea for the Flash too. Can't wait to get one of of these in hand. Thanks for the preview!

          It's very vivid--I like everything about it except the "Batman" eyes.

            If I remember correctly, Mego's license is technically for the Justice League animated show, so this figure is an adaptation of his look in the show. I'm not sure where I read this so if I'm incorrect maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in.

              Interesting. If true, that does not bode well for a potential Aquaman figure.

                If I had to guess, I'd say it will be long-haired, bearded, shirtless, and hook-handed.

                  It depends on how the contract had it worded either DC Animated Universe or Justice League Unlimited which includes more characters than most people can name both good and bad.

                      On the other hand, if the license is broad enough there could be a very classic Aquaman derived from his appearance on the animated Superman show. A great Aquaman is at the top of my wishlist for this line.

                        Justice League style was an in-house design decision, not part of the license. Riddler couldn’t use the silver age design if it was part of the license.

                          Thanks for the clarification! I love what Mego is doing and hope to see many more DC characters to come.

                              ^ It should, it’s the same character. It’s a new sculpt tho.
