Mego SDCC Reveals

For those whom didn't see the video...

Looks like Robin comes with yellow sleeves.

Are those T1 torsos?

I think the 50th Anniversary Megos pictured are just mock-ups. I recognize the Robin tunic with the pale greenish-yellow, (very) short sleeves as the one Paul offers on his Dr Mego website. Supes has the Doc Mego red trunk-separates pulled over the blue jumpsuit, etc. It’s my guess that none of the actual figures have completed production yet.

Robin has the regular Mego body. Supposedly the figures are going to have the new bandless body. Robin should be on the shorter body that the Topps figures had, but, he'll probably have the regular newer regular size body.

they all look really great. that Flashpoint Batman is really cool!

The 50th WGSH figures are all mock-ups.

Kind of feel the modern type 2 bodies would be somewhat more appropriate for the 50th figures, but if the heads and other accoutrements stay the same as what we're seeing here, they should work fine on the new bods. Regardless, they bring back a lot of great memories; I genuinely think these are going to go over like gangbusters. Given the Justice League DC figures appearances at Target, I'm assuming the limitations on where the DC figures can be sold is a thing of the past (or did I miss that announcement somewhere)? I would be very happy to see these turning up in the likes of Walmart, and I think they'd do well there. I recall some mention of retailer interest along the way, but no specifics. REALLY liking that Red Sun Supes head, both as a Mego collector and a Mego customizer. Super classic look; to my eye, it has Golden Age Supes written all over it.

Good, because I sure don't' want layered trunks on these figures.

Years ago, DM did near-perfect repros of Emerald Archer and Armored Avenger suits, so it can be done and done well.

Looks like a picture of Green Arrow on the side panel (middle pic), so I hope he is to come as well!

It’s fun to see this, definitely brings back memories, but wasn’t Tarzan included in that 72 series? guessing mego would need permission from the ERB estate, would be nice.

Green Arrow didn’t come around until I think 74 as a type 1 but he’s pictured on the side panel anyway.

Maybe they needed 6 heroes and couldn’t get the licensing from ERB estate for Tarzan so they went with his replacement from back in the day, makes sense.

Oh I am getting Red Hood and hope the do more of the modern Batman Family

Sorry folks, Tarzan was introduced in the 73 line up, he was not in the 72 first wave heroes.
I honestly thought he was and I call myself a mego lover.

I would also LOVE to see Batman Incorporate/Batmen of All Nations as Megos. I do not understand why McFarlane keeps releasing so many Batmans while ignoring this group.

I'm onboard for Red Hood and an Oompa Loompa to go with my Mego Willy Wonka (heck, gimme a two-pack of Oompa Loompas! Or more! One can never have enough, I say!). May very well get the Dude and John Belushi figures if the head sculpts are accurate, but the other announcements aren't grabbing me for some reason. Probably because I already have versions of Ghostface and Crowley via NECA's Retro line, and the latest TCM film left me cold.
