Thanks for the pics:
Supes: Pretty much spot on what it should be.
Supergirl: Okay, I was expecting to pull out the pliers for the neck, so no surprise there. I knew the hair was gonna be wrong, as well, but it looks like they did do a different paint job on the face from the generic head, so that part looks right. And the sleeves are completely wrong, nothing like the pics we saw. Not overly thrilled with the corner cutting here.
Myx: Definitely looks good on the smaller body; I'd like the original sometime just for accuracy sake, but this was definitely a good choice for the figure.
Bizarro: head isn't as bad as Mr. Pennyworth, but still way too big to warrant any extra purchases for customs. It's a dang shame, too, because the finished sculpt and paint work look better than the prototype we saw. It definitely hearkens back to a classic 50's version of the character with a good touch of the Superfriends version in the way the eyes are done. It's really frustrating that it's out of scale; it's a great head sculpt that easily matches the best Mego ever made, and the paint choices really enhance it. They did an excellent job in every area except making it fit an 8" body correctly. Aaarrgghhh, so close to being virtually perfect...
