    It would be cool if they could sell a set of soft rubber skin tone hands that have the same adapter/socket as the glove hands. That would be great for figures like Superman that don't wear gloves. Maybe even a set with 2 gripping hands and 2 fists.

    Or am I just being picky?

      While I want them to continue with the old style Megos, I wouldn't mind having them update characters already made that way more along the lines of the '66 figures. THose kind of boots and gloves with costumes as detailed and well fitting as the '66 line would more than make it worth getting another version of each character. It would be like getting two different lines in one if they kept them all in the same assortments/waves. A 70's Batman with a Neal Adams/Jim Aparo headsculpt (properly sized), boots and gloves as mentioned above, a tight suit and the same kind of posable cape as Mr. West came with, and you'd have a top notch collector's figure of the classic comic Batman. That would have an appeal beyond just the old time Mego fans if it's done with the same high-end quality we've seen in the first two waves of the 60's line.

          they work on the teen scale too...for a teen-scaled robin...so cool
          A relativley quick custom. I simply switched the hands and feet with hot water to soften the extemites, and discovered the ankle and wrist pegs adapt easily to the teen-scale. With a dremel, a rubber washer & glue, I lengthened Robin's torso slightly (because IMO, the midrift sat too deep into the pelvis compared to an

                This is what I've wanted from the beginning. Hopeful that this is what Batman wave 4 delivers.

                        Robin looks great. Batman looks a little goofy. Maybe it's the bagginess of the suit. Or maybe that the head sculpt is too goofy looking for the gloves and boots. I suspect it is a little of both.

                        I would love to see how RC Batman looks with the gloves and boots. And I wonder how the colors match up with the Mattel Batman.

                          The original Batman head was always goofy looking...the suits are a tiny bit baggy and these are on S Type bodies too....but overall,I am very happy with these.

                            Those really look sharp. I still think the fist/open hand combo is a little limiting... hopefully they will have more poses over time.

                              OK. Those look really, really nice.

                              Reminds me of the 12-inch Batman/Robin magnetics.
