I'm sure this has been mentioned in numerous threads, but I felt I needed to bring it up once again after today.
Part of the charm of the "Mego" figures, was the fact that a child could swap clothes from one figure to another with absolutely no problems. These costumes are not kid friendy when it comes to swapping clothes. I understand a lot, if not most, of you don't have to deal with this problem as you are probably just collectors but this is ridiculous for us parents.
When my children try and swap the clothes on the Retros, the figs with Gauntlets (all but Superman at this point) almost always end up with seams seperated on the arms at the gauntlets and up the arm a little. I've had to sew them back numerous times already and I'm getting tired of it. Not sure if they're just not sewn very well or tight enough or if it's the more spandex type material. Has anyone else experienced this yet?
The other issue is the inferior plastic snaps. These simply suck. The slightest touch and they unsnap. My son's GL has a constantly open collar because the top snap will NOT stay closed. What could the difference in price point be between the plastic snaps and the old Mego Metal snaps?
It's just annoying.
