IMG_5855.jpgAnd not to be “that guy”, but those costumes weren’t actually dark blue and white, but BLACK and white.
Back in the primitive four-color printing days, dark blue was used as a substitute for black in a lot of cases so that they didn’t end up with a solid black silhouette for some of the characters whose costumes were meant to be black, like Black Panther, Punisher, etc.
Jean Grey (in her return from FF #286) even refers to the the FF’s new costumes as black.Comment

Yeah, I know Byrne intended them to be black. Just like Bob Kane and Bill Finger intended Batman's blue elements to be black. And Ditko intended Spider-Man's blue elements to be black. Most figures have interpreted the costumes as dark or even light blue, right or wrong.IMG_5855.jpg

Let's just forget this costume bit, since the Mego figures are in the classic blue and blacks.Comment

I wonder if Sue will be packaged in an Invisible Girl box, or if they'll change it to Invisible Woman.

Looks like I am out. I'm probably working that day and will have no opportunity to even try for these. And I have never managed to get any FF Megos so far. On the plus side, I'm 90% sure I would fail anyway, as speed is not my Thing.
I forgot how many sales Disney puts out on Wednesday morning, usually a bad day for me.Comment

Any insight--from Mego/Crimsom Ghost or FB/Disney, etc--on the supposed availability of these on Wednesday morning and the pricing?
The Diz Coming Soon delisting is disconcerting.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

that’s exactly what I’ve been hoping to find out as well. The availability. And to date Paul/Marty or anyone associated with Mego has said anything. The NDA must be lock tight.
if orders get cancelled and there’s no way to get them in the parks (IE no Disney shoppers) the backlash may be bad.
In will say that I was fortunate to wind up with an extra set of the Spider-Man set. If anyone gets a F4 set and wants to trade please let me know.Last edited by Oldtoydave; Jul 5, '25, 9:39 AM.Comment

I have no idea of Disneys plans as far as pricing and availability goes.
I wouldn’t be too concerned about the delisting of the set from coming soon. The same thing happened with the Spider-Man set when it was being moved to an ordering page.Expectation is the death of discovery.Comment
