Which Megos Look the Most Authentic?

[J.B.]

I think the Flash Gordon line is the most accurate. Incredible details and accessories.

Gotta agree with megoapesnut; that line is amazing, especially Ming.

I hate to say it, but as far as cheese content goes: Iron Man. They never should have painted in the eyes or added the nose.

I remember as a kid, I had Cap and loved him (gotta love the shield). I remember noticing the uniform differences you mentioned, but I always just pretended like the superheroes just had a few different uniforms, some of them with slight variations.

That's a cool thought, I wish I would have focused on as a kid.. I was GREATLY disappointed in Cap when I first saw him..!! Not so much the costume, but the expression. Spiderman was much better.

Jeez, I forgot about the Titans.., yes, Kid Flash was 'dead-on'..

Speedy? Excellent head sculpt, but costume could have been more accurate. Still turned out nice.

the knights are pretty well done too.

Ivanhoe is the best one...quite a handsome fella too...lol.

The worst is the Black Knight...I always hated that tiny head of his.


By far the best 8 inch Superheroine figure is the Invisible Girl...at least in the realistic department...all the other ones are too cartoony-looking.

>Show me a better Pa Walton and I'll eat it.

Indeed. Or ANOTHER Pa Walton even. (Although Gran' pa looks mighy displeased with something....)

>why weren't you in a cooler cult show I could use this head as a custom for?

No "Battle Beyond the Stars" love?

I shaved off Iron Man's nose and painted the eyes and mouth black,
showed it to my wife and she said - "He looks really mean."

I don't think MEGO cared if Iron Man had a nose or not - they wanted
a more kid friendly face than the comics showed - and to show that
it was not a robot, but a man inside.

Of course when I was a kid, I remember coloring IM's eyes black.
The nose didn't bother me that much.

You're right, Doc. If they were willing to re-do a head sculpt because of an "evil smirk", then nose-less, hidden eyes, creepy guy behind iron mask probably wouldn't fly.

I'd love to see a pic of how Iron Man would look with the shaved off nose and darkened eyes & mouth. I also remember reading (a long time ago) about a member taking a thin sharpie to his Spidey and filling in the webbing on his head.

Any takers?

For TV it's hard to beat the accuracy of BO & Luke Duke.

The head sculpt of Luke Duke is especially good.
