Whoa! Didn't see that coming! Fist-Fighters in Super-Powers packaging? Awesome!

It's raining megos.

[Random Axe]

Okay, that's pretty sweet and waaaaaaaaaay better than the Mattel retro SP plans. I've resisted the repro/retro stuff so far but this is where I give in.

[EMCE Hammer]

The pipeline is chock full of cool.

[Werewolf]

That... is.... AWESOME!!

[Spyweb007]

That is very cool. Maybe fist fighters should have at least one fist though?

Good lord I need a 2nd job!!!

WOW!
Fist fighters that mego never did.
Awesome.
I wonder if the ones not done in the main line are going to be done as fist fighters first.

[ScottA]

That is WANT all across the board.

Not much a fan of fist-fighters--not even vintage ones. But I will nab Aquaman for sure for display.

I love how Capt. Marvel is fighting Superman in the ad--we know who'll win .

Also, these appear to be actual production figures, so we get a good sense of the other releases.

Yes, those aren't just re-purposed original pieces.

Read the card back text for a special surprise.........

What is the special surprise? I can't find a pic of the card back.

Fist Fighting Green Arrow! YES!!!!!

Captain Marvel will win by a mile. And if I can actually buy Captain Marvel and Superman fist fighters, these will be the first Megos in more than 30 years that I'll actually, for real, not kidding, actually play with. Because I want to have fun making Captain Marvel beat up Superman.

"Sue me out of existence, will you, Stuporman? Punch! You're vulnerable to magic? Guess what? My powers all come from magic! Pow! And no, your heat vision just bounces off me. Wham!"

I do wish the figures had fists though. I mean, being true to the originals is all well and good but some improvements are just so obviously a good idea that they should be allowed. Fists are in that category.
