I have attached pics of the regular Wave 15 CM in comparison to the Topps CM: It's an improvement height wise but still short in comparison to the Type S and the regular Mego body. I removed the boots to give a more objective comparison in height AND becuz I just couldn't get the Wave 15 CM to stand in a neutral position. (I hope I am wrong about the reason for this....I will get to it inna moment.) I replaced the boots with a pair of CTV boot and the regular CM now stands fine. As pictured he is still short when compared to Kang and the Hammer Mummy (Piece of junk, don't buy it. I will get to this in another post.) Getting back to the CM boots, the reason CM could not stand is becuz his feet do not go all the way into the boots. I took a bright flash-light and saw the reason: The boots are too dang narrow and the feet are just too wide. So, no matter how hard I huff n' puff those feet will not go into those boots. The attached picture of the boots shows the narrowness: 1st Gold Pair belongs to the Topps CM, 2nd Yellow Pair belongs to the Wave 15 CM and the 3rd Yellow Pair is the CTV boot. I hope this is not Mego way of trying to add height into their lil-improved Sidekick body. If not, why create another issue when the Gold boots should just have been repainted yellow? Why a new backward step design with narrow boots? FYI, CM still cannot be transplanted onto a Type-S like a regular Mego body. The inseam on the Wave 15 CM is made for the Topps CM aka Sidekick body. (I guess CM is trying to be cool by following hip hop fashion.) Sign....I wished Mego was more like the prior Waves. As of now, I will wait until I hear from others before my $$$ is wasted. I considered folks who did NOT order the Topps figures and even some of the Wave 15 fortunate. (I do like the Wave 15 Kor: The only difference I see aside from the height improvement is the pants has a gold tone as oppose to silver....very minor.) Don't be foolish, like me, and let a bunch of pictures and prior products history sucker your $$$ away. As I stated before, civilian like characters can be shorter but why the heck is CM staring up to Kang or the Mummy? I guess Mego now has a Sidekick-Like body and a Sidekick body. Hooray? But, not in my opinion.
