Hello. Just wanted to ask is it me or is the head a little big on the Green Lantern. For those that have superman loose. He is an easy fix with the cast a way body.

Retro Action Wave One Has Arrived!

Great review!!! THanks....

Very cool pics and great review. I am so looking forward to seeing what Wave 2 is now.

Are these going to hit TRU? And are they going to be anywhere else?

[megojim]

WOW!!! that is sooooo cool!

Thanks for posting, now we know what Doc, meant "well weep when we see supermans emblem", great stuff on the back.

Okay. A little later than I had hoped, but here are some loose shots with a few notes of good news...and bad news.

First in the bunch is Superman's cape. And yes the decal is there. Looks great!

Here's a better shot of the chest emblem and belt...

Here's a detail shot of what I referred to earlier as a tight suit revealing too much of the Mattel body issues. Notice the wide hips well on display. This along with the figure being too tightly strung made Superman the hardest to get in a descent pose.

Here's a basic profile shot...

On to Green Lantern. This first pic represents the NATURAL pose all the figures with the exception of Lex wanted to stand like because of being strung too darn tight.

With a careful balancing act you can line him up to a better posture like this...

Here's a straight on shot. The face is pretty good but a tad generic for my tastes.

A profile head shot...

Here's Lex and his Kryptonite. Easily the best figure in the lot. Stands good and looks much better in person. A MUST for any Mego fan... my humble opinion.

Sinestro is also done very well. No complaints here except being tightly strung like most of the others.

And I wouldn't forget a ring shot for both our Lantern carriers...

And here's a group shot of all of them together loose. Fun bunch without a doubt and worth the wait to hold in my hands. My primary problem was just their postures from being strung tight, but this may not affect all the figures. Maybe I just got a bad batch. But the outfits are superb and the head sculpts are what every Mego fan dreamt of in the 70's. What is my recommendation? COLLECT THEM ALL!

Great review, but I can't follow your recommendation. If I could walk into a TRU and get these myself things would be different, but since I'm gonna have to pay for shipping as well each time I get one of these "collect 'em all" is simply out of the question.
They really oughta make these available beyond the US as well. Think about how many more they could sell

[MegoSteve]

Thanks for posting pics. I'm hoping mine show up soon... if the post office can get through the snow!

[bizzaro megomauler]

actually, I HATE THEM ALL!



ok, just sour grapes because I haven't got mine yet...

[LonnieFisher]

Part of a lantern is missing from mine.

My Superman has runs in the left leg and a snag above the emblem. .

[The Toyroom]

^ Yup! Just like Megos

[TEXASFETT]

Great write up I'm digging the Lex figure man.

[toystalker]

[jimsmegos]
