    Finally a foe worthy of Superman. This is by no means a complaint. I will be getting this figure, but he looks a little young? Maybe it is just that I'm old
    It's all good!

      Looks great! Him and GL will correct two of Mego's greatest oversights. Sinestro is just gravy. Bring on the Flash!

        Young skin

        Rotocast vinyl gives that smooth young look, unless when sculpting you
        put age lines that will reproduce in the vinyl.

          True, and deep lines on his face would have changed his look like he was grimacing or sucking on a lemon. I also think it was also that I got so used to the "corporate" Luthor, I'm forgetting the 70's history and the current DC re-vamp of Clark and Lex being of the same age, growing up at the same time, etc.
          It's all good!

            I can't tell you how excited I am for these figures. Mego's were a huge part of my childhood and the mego museum is such an awesome website.

                Lex head sculpt

                Real nice work capturing the 1979 feel on the sculpts.
                They are beautiful. Not overdone.

                But

                I kinda wished Lex looked a little more angry or sinister.
                Mego villains (Goblin, Myx, Joker, Riddler) seemed to have a more evil expression.
                Lex looks pretty...calm.

                      does anyone know if he's coming with a gun like in the back of the package?

                            I think the head sculpt is great. Just wondering will be seeing close-ups of the Green Lantern and Superman Retro Figures anytime soon.
