    Maybe something for the Disney folks to think about?

      I would love some 12 inch marvel figures.

      The 14 inch DC was weird but I understand they did not have a choice but maybe with Disney, it might be possible.

        They are nice, but I would stick with 8 inch.

          Jeez, no format changes. I'm still not thrilled with (the design of) the bandless bodies.

          I mean, I wouldn't pass up a larger Mego Capt. America, but it's certainly not a priority compared to thoughtful 8-inch releases.
          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.

            I ordered one of the new set for my birthday and looking forward to seeing it first hand. If a larger size was made, I'd want it to now match the DC 14 inch I have, for height, but I'm happy with sticking to the 8 inch format. That's where the nastolgia lives for me
            It's all good!

              The new set is amazing. Great addition to the line.

              As for the 14 inch figures...

              If the DC line would have been well made from the start I would agree with you BUT...

              The difference in head size makes the DC release a floop. They dont match with each other !

              I prefer 12 1/2 format from the originals and if Disney would make some, my preferred format.

              Dont get me wrong, I love certain 14 DC figures that came out but, they really dont match with each other. I`ll give Mego credit for 99% of the stuff they made but the 14 mismatch, not so much.

                Unfortunately, I was working on the 14” heads in the dark. I didn’t have a sample of the body to work from until I could finally get one from Target and by then I had already done a few of them and it fell on the factory to rework them.
                Expectation is the death of discovery.

                  The sculpts are great. No criticism on your work. They just did not produce them all in the same scale.

                  I read it was a problem of communication with production.

                  Production management problem. This Is a Mego problem/mistake. ( wrong factory selected )
