So, these Disney-Marvel figures...

Why did it have to be a Spider-Man Wave? ... I bought a set for $75 +shipping, I don’t want to do this for every wave

I’d gladly pay $75 + shipping; surely you meant $175?

When i was collecting those Disney store exclusive star wars diecast figues. It would typically be a mad scramble to get them, sellout and an eventual restock a few months later.
Hoping that'll be the case here as well.

Well, no-one likes aquatic characters more than I, and he's cool-looking--but I can think of 20 better choices to do first.

Umm...


STINGRAY, Anyone????

Why did it have to be a Spider-Man Wave? I hope we get better distribution, but Spidey and Hul were my non Trek intros to Mego. I bought a set for $75 +shipping, I don’t want to do this for every wave

Maybe Disney underestimated the popularity this 4 set of figures would be? Perhaps they learned a lesson from this and will restock them and make the necessary adjustments on the next wave.

I've seen Paul Clarke state he mentioned to his contact at Disney how disappointed people, including himself, are about this. He is at least bending the ear he knows to make change. The first thing Marty said to me was, "Disney under-ordered this set." He's clearly not wrong.

Any word on a restock at Disney?

[Earth 2 Chris]

The figures are really nice. Particularly Electro looking like he could have existed in 1977 or so after Mego released their (in my opinion) better sculpted Mr. Fantastic, Thor, Conan, etc. But I will admit opening them I felt like the whole experience was somewhat diminished by the distribution woes and lot of my fellow Mego fans being he left in the dust. Hopefully this set will become available online again when the next set comes out, and they'll both have larger quantities available for online sales.

Same can be said for many of the Topps exclusive figures.

It was amazing how those prices dropped within months of their release. I was pleased about that since I did the "wait & see" with them.

... and seemingly can't express frustration about either.

I don't mean to make you feel that way at all, and I'm sorry if I did. I thought my post seemed personal, not dismissive.

[Dark Shadow]

If Disney doesn't course correct, I'll silently bow out and spend my money on "minty" classic Mego Marvels, which I already have about half of the ones I'd want. I'll continue to support Mego on other releases, I'm just not going to satiate Disney's power trip at the expense of my time & frustration. The'yre just toys, and aren't worth the hassle & disappointment (mine or those around me). Just comparing Mego to Mego experiences, many DC 50th 1st & 2nd wave figures can still be found via online distributors for original retail prices, and even some at discounted rates...two years later. Same can be said for many of the Topps exclusive figures. Two minutes after Wave 1 Marvel figures were released the only options available (so far) are to pay scalper prices, pay personal shoppers to locate them for you, or drive to a Disney Park to get them yourself. For me personally, that is a deal breaking strategy.

This is the first Mego release that I don't feel like celebrating and seemingly can't express frustration about either.

[PNGwynne]

I'm not mitigating frustration here--it's Crap how toys are sold now--but Diz was no different than what I've dealt with for years with the bloated fiasco that is MOTU Origins. But I love that line and persevere. And I love (at least some ) Mego Corp and am so far willing to persevere with them, too.

I've been pretty with some of the DC 50th releases, but Electro gave my interest and resolve a boost. That resolve will wane quickly if the remaining seven new figures tie into the MCU and not Bronze-Age "Mego goodness."

[Sonneveld]

Yeah, my excitement went away pretty quickly. I'm in Germany and can't see how I'm going to get my hands on the Marvel stuff without paying crazy sums. I did look at eBay listings for the Spider-Man set ... but I'm just not willing to spend that much money. Not with another exciting DC wave waiting in the wings. It's disappointing how this whole Marvel thing turned out, but I'm not blaming Mego (only Marvel/Disney) and still glad for my fellow collectors who actually got ahold of Spidey, Electro and Co. And I don't want this to spoil the fun I've been having with the great DC stuff that I can actually get my hands on. I only hope Mego won't neglect the DC line in favor of the 'hot' Marvel franchise.

Same for me. I'm burned out by toy scalpers in general, but this Mego Disney debacle was something else. As for upcoming waves, sure, I would like a Hulk, but he would have to be paired with three of the coolest figures ever for me to go through that experience again.

[PNGwynne]

...Electro is really cool with a perfect head sculpt and
costume.

It's true, preach it.
