Previews Batman Beyond & Deathstroke

My figures arrived today and they look very nice! I took one crappy carded picture before I ripped these open:

Thanks for detail pix, both are sharp and I like Deathstroke's detailing and accessories. Are the boots molded in orange?

Quick overview... I like both these figures of characters I like, but do not love.

Both are on the new bodies. Batman Beyond is comparable to an old body in height and even head size. I think the height may have to do with the costume at the feet. It's maybe a bit to much material, but it gives him some height. I guess the head is just oversized for the figure.

Deathstroke is the same height as the Topps Captain Marvel. A very nicely crafted figure, even with the mostly silk screened suit, which I waffle on a bit, especially when the belt is silk screened. But here, it works.

Yep, molded in orange.

Thank you. Not a fan of painted accessories.

Thanks for the great pictures! My Batman Beyond should get here tomorrow.

Just eyeballing it, do you think Deathstroke would transfer well to a regular sized Mego body?

Green Arrow feels like an exception in that his clothing looked loose, while the rest of the new body DC Comics figures I have opened seem to have well fitted clothes. So I think a transition might be tight, especially in the crotch are, but going to a regular Mego-sized body and not a slightly larger Type-S might work okay.

And we have seen the Hasbro G.I. Joes converted to Type-S bodies. The cut around the larger shoulders of the new body may help with the fit in a conversion too since regular bodies have more sloped shoulders, giving more room to work with in the costume.

For me, I am a little hesitant to move Deathstroke, Captain Marvel and especially Batman Beyond to new bodies, although BB fits in fine, scale-wise.

Get mine today as well. Looking forward to these. It was fun working on them.

Much appreciated. Mego has an awesome team working on all these releases.

I'd love to put the Batman Beyond head and costume on a type S black body. That way he can have fists too. Those boots gotta go though...

If they did Batman Beyond’s face cast in silver it would make a neat looking Silver Surfer.

Both of these look sweet, I give a slight edge to Deathstroke but you really made a nice score with these congrats.

I took the boots off and that is when I noticed the extra material around the feet. I suppose I could fix it to look right and it’s nice to have options, like with Ultraman, but I realized that I don’t mind the boots, as I originally thought I would.

Using Star Trek boot legs and going with a similar design as that of the Hasbro version would have been interesting too.
