Mego of the Day: Pocket General Zod

[RSS]

It's impossible to kneel towards a guy if you don't have articulation there. General Zod wasn't a high point for the pocket heroes but hey, a new character is a new character.....

I always wondered why Zod, Luthor, and Jor-El looked like the sculptor did them while on his way home on the subway? I know they were quickies, but even so Mego usually did a much better job at capturing likenesses than this! I'm also just as surprised they went for all new bodies, when they were the Kings of re-using existing bodies to make their 3 3/4" stuff? ....For these three in particular, it would have been fairly simple to re-use existing Pocket Hero molds...??

I missed the 3 3/4 inch figures taken over, by the time the STAR WARS figures came out and took over the shelves bringing in to play the 3 3/4 figures to rule i was all ready done with toys and my intrests were else where so i never had or saw the pocket hero line perhaps that is why i have no intrest in em

Looks like Chopper's baby brother

Horrible looking figure.

Did he come with a gun, or is that it molded to his belt? Not much interest from myself.

Is it me

or does this look more like Pocket Mel Brooks (with Action Beard™)?

Good call...really does look like Brooks to me.

I have my Comic Action Superman "kneeling" before Zod, in the moment right before he crushes his hand and throws him across the Fortress!!!

Zod, Jor-El and Lex were phoned in, but it was good to have a Lex. I actually had a VILLAIN figure as a kid, never having any 8" Mego bad guys.

Now that you mention it, does look like either mini-Chopper or Mel Brooks sporting a beard.
