    You’re very welcome. It just seem like a quick fix that allows you to keep everything stock on the figure while eliminating the problem. I really love having a brand new Ironman figure that has everything my childhood figure has plus popping with color, (something my old one is losing).

    Feel the same way with Thor too. And Hulk is just off the chain better. Pictures can’t tell you what you’ll notice when you take him out of the box. He’s got some serious heft to him. The reason why (per Paul)is because that body is not a blow mold like the original. It’s solid through and through. Honestly? It makes the original feel like a cheap knockoff now. Never thought I could say that.

    Cap is great too. Shield looks authentic and he’s just built solid. It’s my favorite set to date and I didn’t think I would say that again after last year’s FF collection.

      Iron Man glue dot is across the board. You can't tell from the picture, but Captain America's star is lifting off his chest. My Hulk, the only one I've opened, was garotted by the plastic, creating a gap. His head can go flush, like my money in this purchase, but it is loose.

      Will probably return.
      Yeah, i don’t think you can return it. Unless it arrived damaged. Apparently it’s a special order, and not subject to returns.
      now I have to see what I can do about my second set, that I didn’t want to order.
      goodluck though

        MIB41, thanks for the comparison pix--I think it's good to be reminded just how nicely these turned out. Yes, Mego Corp. has always struggled with its repro stickers/emblems. But thankfully, many hacks exist.

        My partner commented that Cap looks stoned. I said, "Yes. he's always looked like that. He's self-medicated because his costume is so 'off'."

          Here’s a compare with Iron Man and Cap…

            Thanks for the pics. I really like the fact that the new Iron Man is not a light orange.

            Cant wait till my sets arrive but also afraid of the potential damage they might have.

              I like and appreciate the time and work put into theses sets,the colors are really nice. Since I had the originals as a kid these were a must but to some
              collectors the paint spot and hulks size are a issue. I do wan't Falcon but am really going to have to see what's next before I order more . The quality
              control dropped from set 2 to set 3 (Thing was an upgrade ).I would buy a better Hulk, and Ironman with Black Panther, and Falcon in a future set
              and only wan't Dr.Doom and Magneto for villans . X-men 97 would also get my money with Daredevil and Dr.Strange

                Many, many thanks for the pics. I was debating about this set, since it is still available. I guess the Ironman sorta killed it for me: Even as a kid I hated it when the inseam is short. It looks like all of the Ironman suffers from it. The original had the inseam right up to the crotch.

                  Thank you.

                  The return process was pretty painless, if anyone needs to. I hope you don't!

                    I'm glad Disney made it easy; some vendors don't. That was a shame about Hulk's neck.

                      Speaking of Hulk, Mego needs to exploit the revised muscle-body tooling: Do Rhino in gray, or use the Thing mold in olive-green for Abomination. Hulk smash puny enemy!

                        Abomination, that’s what I’m hoping for, and done just as you described! Straight from Bring On the Bad Guys, and my Power Record days.
