No one else will say it. So I will. The new stuff looks bad.

    Gotta give it up to Doc Mego. Khan's head is a tad small, but EMCE Toys nailed the head sizes of Chekov and Sulu. Especially Chekov.

    Bizarro's head is HUGE, but Mxy's head looks properly scaled to the teen body. That's hopeful going forward.

      I think Kull and Kane look weak,what did they look at for Solomon Kanes face? Also they are an extra $5 bucks so I will not buy as many as planned. I might have bought 5-10 of each,now I might buy 1-3 of each.....sad.

          I'm glad someone else noticed, thanks!

            While the issues of the large heads, concerns me greatly. I'm still pleased to see these characters at least being done. Sadly, if not corrected these 'large heads' will most likely wind up as 9 inch custom fodder. Reducing interest value down to parts and pieces for many. Not a good direction for any toy line.

              I'm assuming the $5 increase is because they are selling only a three piece wave?

                  I think the Batman 66 figures look great (with the exception of Riddler. That face doesn't look anything like Frank Gorshin), but it's the bodies that I have a problem with. What's the deal with those rubberized hands. The hands/gloves fell right off the figure I purchased. These figs might go well in a Texas Chainsaw Massacre re-enactment....

                    ust a quick heads up for those with a problem with the gloves falling off the 66 bats ,when doing a body swap ,bikin 89 bats body ,the only swivel arm figure i have ,i noticed the ball pegs on the wrists were pushed in too far on my bats figure ,boiling water and a couple of minutes later i left them sticking out a little more ,no more falling hands ,when the wrist cools the pegs stay in place perfectly well and hold the glove on great ,would imagine this would be the same fix for robin

                      I have a feeling Conan will be fully outfitted with his proper weapons when he comes out. I'm guessing the extra $5 for the figures is because the figures have the weapons where the other lines don't.

                          Some of these look a little frumpy and heads a bit big... But they still look a million times better than BBP big head problem. We'll see what they look like closer to.

                            Conan's description does not mention a sword:

                            Conan Retro 8 Inch Action Figures Series 1: Conan The Barbarian




                            This is an exact replica of the original action figure that was released by Mego. Includes an authentic cloth outfit, molded axe, boots, belt & wrist guards. Comes in resealable plastic clamshell packaging that can be opened and closed without damaging the figure. Other figures in this series include Solomon Kane & Kull The Conqueror. Available in 8 inch only.

It doesn't even match the art they used on the card. I'm all for praising FTC when they get it right, but they did indeed drop the ball with a few of these new reveals.
                                ^^^Player said it right, clearly and simple! Wait until the real stuff come out and don't start your unwanted, unrequested criticism with their prototypes... Then, if the actual figures come with huge noggins here are your options: a) Buy them privately (& still complaint herein) b) Not buy them (and complaint herein) or c) Buy them and praise how much you liked them herein (yeah, right!).

                                This is not about not withstanding positive feedback or criticism... It is about identifying members who believe they have the monopoly of wisdom in all Mego subjects and not giving them standing or ranking but letting them know so... Nuff' time spent with your comments...^^^
