Topps Megos

[Liu Bei]

i actually like that there is a slight height difference. gives a little contrast on the shelf

It might work in this specific case, but in a broader context it doesn’t/wouldn’t work. They really need to correct the scale, which they reportedly have, so fingers crossed the differences will be negligible from here on out.

I don’t like that Spock is short.

I don't understand why Mego claimed the height difference is minimal.

Kor is on that horrible kinda loose hip joint Sidekick body and Kang is on a regular Mego body NOT a Type S.

Good thing about this is maybe those who couldn't buy them when they were offered are able to find them on eBay for a reasonable price. I can't see anyone paying even retail price for Megos on that Sidekick body.

I think they both look great, the likenesses are pretty spot on. I can see where the height difference and body structure on Kor could be a bit aggravating to some, but a nice job was done on these nevertheless.

Yes Kor is a very nicely done if not for the height and loose hip joint issues that seem to plauge this Sidekick body. (At least mine has a nice normal waist tension.)

For those who find the height issue "blah," Captain Marvel and Black Adam r going to be BIG disappointments especially when the suits r too small to be used on a regular Mego or Type S bodies. (Kor seems to be transferable to a regular Mego or Type S.) And to think I bought 2 of each (CM & BA)..... hoping to keep one of each MIP.

I sincerely hope Mego correct this disaster of a body for the Ghostbusters which I am still eager to have.....for now.

I don't like that any of these are short. I realize that Lee/FTC scuttled any more Mego-like bandless body, but this new is a disappointment except as custom fodder. Not very Megoesque IMO.

Finally got all my MEGO Topps orders (six figures) and I'm quite pleased. Leaving them in box but I am REALLY tempted to open Kor and Spock. We'll see.

[markp67]

Do we have any idea yet whether the scale adjustment will be/has been implemented on Wave 15 figures?

[powersthatbe]

I don't mind the shortness of the figures too much as long as it is addressed and fixed. I do like being able to pose the new arms the old mego arms are frustrating. certainly a lot of smaller characters and sidekicks that can be customized or kitbashed Titans, Wolverine, Kato,Sulu,Chekov Superboy, The Legion, Bruce Lee.... oh and my brent figure and black adam figure were pretty tight at the waist. All I am waited on is Shazam, Taylor and Zira.( I don't know why my shazam and adam were shipped separately, everything else i ordered in pairs arrived together

[thunderbolt]

Wow, that is a stark difference. I haven't taken Kor or TMP Spock off their cards yet. My idea is to get the Kor on a corrected body from retail, and just leave this one MOC. We'll see, though.

What makes you think the retail version will be on a corrected body?

[puckace]

All I have received so far are Shazam and Black Adam. They look nice but I'm not happy with them. They shouldn't look so short next to Superman and Batman. These were premium pricing with the Topps shipping. Unfortunately, they came out less than premium as a finished product. It's very disappointing. I really want Mego to do well and this is a step in the wrong direction.

Mego's idea of improvement: Sorta like improvement of the wheel by using squares as opposed to circles.

Has anything more concrete than a vague "it's been addressed" been stated by Mego?

Not that I’ve heard. Hopefully they said something on the livestream tonight. But I can’t imagine they’d be dishonest about something like that. I’ll keep my fingers crossed anyway, because the size difference otherwise is just too stark. Kor looks like a toddler.

[LonnieFisher]

"It's been addressed" does not mean it's been fixed yet. I would assume that the wave 15 figures will be on the same short bodies.
