    Flash Gordon and Ming Up Close (Pic Heavy)

    Got these in today and really couldn't not share, not that we review figures here at the MM but honestly, I have to give credit where it's due, there are exciting figures that I've waited 30 years for:









    yay stuff! Tell me this isn't epic.






    Ming's suit is really nicely made

    No translucent materials to be found.











    Ming isn't naked under his robe, bifbangpow didn't cut any corners.

    I seriously give these things ten thumbs up.

    They look great. Is Toys R Us going to carry them?
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

      These are very fun figs. Did yours have enough glue holding the bubble on the card? I noticed a few in my case that were lifting a bit. It is sort of beneficial for those that want to open the cards and preserve that coolio artwork.

              Thanks for the great pics Palitoy! I just got mine today as well. I agree 100% with you. These are very nice figures. It's so unbelievable how many GREAT Mego-scale figures are coming home for Christmas. This has truly been a dream season to say the least. With Flash and Ming in, that adds up to EIGHT Mego figures at my door step in the past 10 days

              1) Glenn Strange Frankenstein
              2) The best ever Wolfman figure
              3) The Flash - Can I add anything more?
              4) Capt Cold - Same here.
              5) Wonder Woman - EMCE and Paul bury the original Mego with this one.
              6) Cheetah - Awesome piece of work.
              7) Flash Gordon - Still pinching myself. Great figure!
              8) Ming - Have lost feeling in my left leg...

              I'm just numb with happiness. And correct me if I'm wrong, but EMCE and Paul are behind each one of these little miracles in one form or another, yes?

                Really great, Brian. Why didn't I add these to my EE order today?

                    Very nice job all around. Gotta get a Ming!
                    One thing I noticed, though. Flash's hands. Are those Cast-A-Way hands? Or do all soft hands come from the same manufacturer where EMCE and CAT get their stock?

                      Can we say these are the definative Flash Gordon Movie Action figures? Yes, I think we can. Can't wait to get mine!

                      The card art is also Boffo! Sort of like an alternate movie poster.

                          It's actually vintage artwork, I can't remember what but it's a UK promotional album. It's from the collection of Jason from Bifbangpow.

                            Very nice! Personally, I really want Ming in the uniform, but I think Collette might be into this pair.

                            Ming's head sculpt has a really nice cross-medium style to it: could easily fit the look from the movie or other comic renderings of him.

                              Those look really nice! It would be awesome to see two more... maybe the hot chick with the big boobs and that hawk/viking dude with the beard.
