    The small waist peg looks a little concerning. Other than that it looks great.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

      The Type S body has a similar peg and have not experienced a break so I wouldn't be too concerned about the Mego one. I think it will hold up. Can hold up better in case kids want to rough with their Megos.

        I just think the waist gap will cause problems with some outfits.

            They’re swivel knees. Same style joint as the elbow, also swivel.
            Expectation is the death of discovery.

              I cannot wait to try them with my band. This new body should work better playing guitar or other musical instruments.

                Ah thank goodness. I would rather have thigh swivels but this is good too. Should be neat to have

                  Curious... why thigh swivels? The 13" DC Direct figures have thigh swivels and they are terrible because you can clearly see them through the costume, both the cut and how the cut does not line up with the musculature of the thigh.

                  That's the only experience I can think of with a figure wearing cloth goods with a cut thigh, not a ball-joint hip. Are there some out there that work better than DC Direct's attempt?

                    Yeah, I can't recall any figure except perhaps Max Steel that did mid-thigh swivels well.
