Retro-Action DC ~ Which ones are worthy of being "Megos"?

[Ivaniski]

I like(and own)...Sinestro, Lex Luthor, Twoface, Aquaman, Green Arrow...that's it. I like the head sculpt on GL Kyle, but don't own one yet. The Flash was the absolute WORST of the bunch. Batman was pretty bad too.

I had to give my Flash a nose job with dremel,...in order for him to look like this......See pic below. I took away his Jimmy Durante look.

Both pics feature post Rhinoplasty Flash......




Green Arrow and Two-face were my favorites from the Mattel line.

love the look of the line, I really need to transplant them so they pose. Unfortunately it looks like the Castaway body won't work too well.

What worked very well for me was Doc Mego's lower body and Castaway's original upper body, or just their arms (either of these combos gave me perfect articulation, and were compatible with everything...Plus any type of clothing). Wish they could make them again. See pics below.........All figures featured below have the Aforementioned combo body style.

On the headless figure below i used Mattel's forearms to keep color hands/glove look;...you'll see it on Green Arrow and Green Lantern.

Over all the costumes and access ories are all very nice mego esque, I hated the batman though and didn't buy him, I disliked the bodies and replaced them all with vintage mego ones except for Sinestro who I replaced with a CTVT colored body. The only ones I REALLY regret buying are Superman and Aquaman

Love all these but especially the Lone Ranger, love the blue it really pops. Is he a custom?

[Ivaniski]

Yep! 100% custom. I had him and the Tonto custom for a few years now, and never get tired of looking at them on their horses. I think they came out pretty good.

[thunderbolt]

yeah, I'm not buying two bodies per each figure to convert, I already disassembled Batman to move him to a S Type and the forearms don't swap. Makes me think there is not much compatibility for that body.

[Ivaniski]

Although i have a few S bodies, i haven't really attempted to try Futzing with other costumes and body parts, I'm reading of a few compatibility issues. Therefore, I'm gonna try to use the S body arms on a Doc Mego body......to see the results. My 2 cents

Same, I may end up doing a hybrid body for some of them down the road as well (I really liked the poses Ivinski posted above.)

I think all of the Mattel retro's fit in with Mego well, even with the body issues I could always get them to stand on their own, costumes were great, and even Mego did not always nail the sculpts.
