Any word on the Topps figures? My brother sells Megos and just got his order form from his wholesaler and all of the Topps figures are now listed (not as Topps, but the same characters) for him to order for a June release. I’m kind of hoping I just get refunded at this point and can just order them regularly.

How so? Swapping the outfits on the two Topps figures would make legit figures, right? As long as they do not release Taylor in lion cloth and Brent in astronaut gear, those seem like legit variants that should make those that missed or skipped the Topps figures happy and even capable of making their own "Topps" figures.Last edited by TRDouble; Mar 11, '22, 2:47 PM.Comment

I am all for it, I want everyone to be able to get their hands on these figures. I do however wrestle with the shipping costs TOPPS charged. Mego should recognize the steep costs perhaps give those who were able to support the TOPPS figures a free item. Not an exclusive free item, something others can pay for but free for the TOPPS supporters. I paid over 300 dollars in shipping costs for figures that I ordered over six months ago. It seems like a good compromise.Comment

This entire Topps thing has been a debacle from the beginning... It's great they made available some awesome figures, but, as we all know, shipping was incredible costly for some people. As a Canadian, it was extreme to say the least and I was only able to pre-order a small number of what was offered (and the, of course, the Gorgon was cancelled).
It also caused a lot of debate on here and on Facebook, especially when the deal was cancelled. Debate is good as long as it stays positive, but there were some cases I recall that led to a bit of arguing and I hate to see that from members of such a great collecting community.
Now, there are concerns about the same figures being released at retail, which many feel is unfair after paying high costs through Topps. Granted, these will likely be variants of some sort and not exactly what Topps was offering, but, in my case, I am not too concerned about variants and still consider these to be pretty much the same item (unless the variations are major).
I just hope this can be considered a lesson learned on everyone's part and, going forward, Mego can make all its figures available to all its fans and collectors in an affordable and easy-to-get fashion. Again, as a Canadian, I already miss out on ordering the Ghostbusters line, which sucks. There are so many collectors in other parts of the world who would love to own these figures as well as any and all future offerings."I thought they didn't allow no bathin' suits in here."Comment

But in the time Mego has returned, I have received free correctly sized 14" Batman head, an awesome free Green Lantern suit, a free replacement body and head for Dr. McCoy, and a free replacement body with head for Michael Burnham. Mego was fixing issues that happened on their end and I appreciate that, especially for a smaller "new" company trying to create and keep their customer base. I have a Hasbro HasLab Sentinel that I am scared to open because of the knee issue design and knowing there is no replacement coming.
But the Topps thing is different. I just checked my orders and Ugh! I didn't mind the $19.99 per figure, but the shipping sucked. But I made that choice to buy and pay the shipping costs, with one of the keys being that these figures would only be available via Topps. I personally don't feel like Mego needs to make good on the high shipping costs. I don't feel like Topps does either, but if someone did, I would say Topps does, not Mego.
I think Mego should say thank you for being a customer, and perhaps to make better deals in the future, but that's about it, if even that.
That being said, if all my orders are shipped together in one box, we have a BIG problem...Comment
