    I just got an email from AMOK TIME total with shipping is right at $100
    Their add stated "IN STOCK NOW FOR IMMEDIATE SHIPING" I ordered a set.
    I pre-ordered from them last time and cancled the order. When I spoke to the guy he said they had lost a lot of sales. I'm sure this time they hedged their bet!! Hopefully I'll have them in hand next week!!

    The Knock Knock Toy co.

          Anyone order Wave 2 from Mego Store? With Shipping and his discount, it is almost exactly the $19.99 (or $22 with tax) you would pay in the store.

                        The next thing is, do I open them? Guess it would be selfish NOT to, since if it were someone else I would want loose pics too!

                          Let's see them opened up!!
                          Batman looks pretty good.
                          Please make your pics right way up, you get a crooked neck looking at them.

                                Sorry. here are the loose pics with descriptions/observations



                                Batman! not nearly as bad in person as in previous photos. The neck part of the cowl is what makes it look funky. If you pull the cape over it, the problem is less apparent. The belt had a rubbery texture to it, and looks just as it should. the fastener at the back is identical to the Mego. one bad thing...his body has the pukes. WORSE THAN MY WAVE 1 HEROES EVER HAD IT!!! wait till you see "Elvis loving Aquaman"

                                removable cowl comes off with just enough effort, and goes on in a snap!it also has a slit that makes that possible without fear of tearing it. The Bruce sculpt is simply awesome. without the cowl :



                                Two-Face is simply put a masterpiece! he fits in perfectly with the Mego tradition. His shoes are very reminicent of the old mego Penguin
                                shoes and cast in brown and black. BIG BIG kudos to the sculpt! the suit reminds me of the Doc's suits, and have to admit this was the most impressive figure on the pegs. His body stands well, and no puking issues here, until he looks in a mirror. There is no need to even say everyone should consider this one a nearly perfect figure.




                                Aquaman looks superb, and simplicity seems to work very well here. Not overdone as feared, His leatheresque "A" is firmly stitched to the belt! the hands grip the trident very well with no fear of breakage. the trident is perfect as an acessory, because this figure needed something extra to put is over the top, Mission accomplished. Now the bad: the body is a wreck! no way to fix his Hips of Elvis Origin. They need to adress this issue. After dropping a hundred dollars (and I had to save it up, remember I am Unemployed)on figures yet again, I am pretty disappointed in the manufacturing department. figure design is an A+, but the end result will suffer due to the quality issue. MANY of the figures seemed that way in the bubbles, but remember that's Half the Fun!!*

                                *see ask matty responses



                                Black Manta.. I thought that hands down, Two-Face would be my favorite. I am speachless when it comes to Manta GRAND SLAM HOME RUN! (His body wobbles too much to have a standing pictorial)

                                with the hoses inserted in the head (there is a way to pop them in with a ball joint, and they STAY IN nicely! he is one bad looking fig! LOVE IT!!!

                                backpack fits nicely too. NO complaints about it. one odd thing though. His belt. It came packed UNFASTENED and GLUED in place on the figure front, as the back clasp end was fastened to the plastic tag hanget seen below it on the suit. easily removed and fixed, the glue is a rubber cement of sorts, and did not affect the costume.

                                What surprised me most was the Batman chase Variant:





                                Just kidding there, we can't have it all...But please FIX THE BODIES MATTY! for what I paid for them my unemployed arse could have eaten better for the week! Oh and Doc, your imput on these are apparent and appreciated! Thanks for my new Megos!
