    Mego of the Day: 12" Lex Luthor


    Mego of the Day is the completely underrated 12" figure of Lex Luthor, looking like he just stepped out of the legion of doom, it's hard not to be in awe.

    A stunning figure, probably my favorite 12" next to magnetic Batman.

    I always wished they had done him in 8" scale.

      I always wanted Lex as a kid, and I still do. Is it just me, or does there seem to be more boxed than loose examples out there?

      Hackman face + Curt Swan/LOD suit =one great figure. I need him BADLY.

        Wow - Never seen him in this light. For that time period, this is one superb figure..! Love the Curt Swan appearance. Just a beautiful figure.

          The coolness of this figure just taunts my 8" collection.

            This dude rocks. I so wish they had an 8" version.

              I had a 12" Superman as a kid, but didn't even know that Mego made a Lex Luthor. I really like Mego's decision to use Gene Hackman's face on the suit used in the cartoons of the time.

                  Mego certainly put some thoght in this one. Why he wasn't done in 8" scale is beyond me and a major oops for Mego.

                    Love this figure, but don't have him. However, I have Austin's (Reproheads.com) awesome 8 inch recast of him.

                      Love the figure and love the whole Superman 12" line, very colourful and comic book looking. I still have to get Lex and Jor-El.
