    I actually had them in my cart at 11:55 AM EDT. Then I waited about twenty minutes because I didn't have access to the credit card I wanted to use, but it all went pretty quickly.

    $14 for three figures shipped did throw me for a little loop though, but the 10% off helped this time

      It took me a while as well, I had opened an account but had to do it again. Yeah $12 shipping is excessive but I guess its all in what you compare it to.

        I really wanted to get these two figures. I created an account, added them to my cart and attempted to “checkout” only to discover in addition to the $40 for two figures, because of the fact I live in Canada I would have to add an additional $70 for economy shipping. I had to back out. As much as I want to support this initiative and love collecting Mego figures, the shipping was way too much. I put less shipping for eBay items and those rates are through the roof to begin with.

          If you can figure out the process for someone like myself to ship to you without it being as much I can try to snag the two figures for you to help!

            it was a little hard at first to figure out that you had to create an account, then use an email link then add to cart, then verify you are not a robot lol but got them ordered. This will a nice thing to look forward to every week, shipping is a bit excessive though. So Black Adam's ears are not pointy?( I don't think they are anymore in the comics) and will these be mass retail too? The Shazam Family is pretty popular.

              They look pointy in the pics to me.

              Theyyyyyyy also look like the exact same outfits the Mattel Retro Action Heroes had back in 2008.

                They are. I'm not sure they will be on the final product.

                  Im assuming this is to tie into the upcoming movie which is smart. DC has a few big movies lined up for 2022 so hoping that helps with sales.

                    Happy for my American friends. Hoping Canada will have an order option in the near future. Looking forward to seeing who’s next

                      Of course his ears are pointy! So much so, they’ll cut your fingers!!

                          Not thrilled at all... the Mattel ones, I thought, look a lot nicer. Not digging the $5 increase but maybe thats across the board for Megos? Glad those who are happy are happy. Hopefully next Monday brings a little more excitement.

                              Are these pictures prototypes or the finished product? Are the heads painted?

                                They are painted prototypes.
