I saw the Matte spray fix on the Ambassadors too. Thanks !It is a striking difference. I plan to make a pitstop on the way home tonight and try it on a FTC head I am using for a Star Spangled Kid custom. That shiny head is irritating.

Anyone concern about the durability of the backpack straps? The gummy plastic feels very flimsy to me. Aside from the gummy plastic I am very satisfied with my purchase. They appear to be on the same body as Wave 15 and not on that Topps Sidekick body.Comment

Unfortunately, these are on the smaller Topps sized bodies. Here's a picture with the Topps Black Adam figure. Same size.

The heels on the Star Trek boot legs (for the new bodies) seem to be making Quark a little taller on my shelf.
zeedox, I picked up those 12” Hasbro too. The head sculpts must pull from the same digital file, same exact likenesses and hair placement on all four characters.Comment

I still like em, shiny heads and all. For the superheroes, that Topps aka Sidekick body is horrible. I'm not thrilled with the Wave 15 body either...it's still smaller when compared to a regular Mego body.Comment

On the examples I'm showing here, I using a brush on process over a spray because I like controlling the amount of sealant that I apply. In this instance I used Mod Podge Matte sealer which is great alternative if you want to leave the outfits on and just apply directly to the head without having to tape/mask any parts of the figure.
It really takes the edge off any gleam the heads came with and makes them fit nicely with any other Mego's you have in your collection. Hope this helps.

Hi all!
A bit of a warning for those who have their figures displayed wearing their proton packs. A friend of mine had his out on display for 2~3 days, then decided to take the pack off to check something on it. As he was removing the pack, he noticed that the strap that went over the screen printed name tag on the jumpsuit had begun to adhere to that name tag. Fortunately, it came off without damaging either the strap or the name tag, but that was after just a few days of being in contact with each other. If he'd left it for a few months or a year before moving that strap, the name tag might not have fared so well!
So, if you have your figures wearing their proton packs, you might want to check for this. You've been warned...
