New Mego Acquisitions? Got any?

[TrekStar]

Ok. Here's what I was really looking forward to: a photo of my Apache Chief figure with FTC Samurai and FTC El Dorado.

I always liked it when these 'non-comic book characters' were featured on the cartoon. As I mentioned above, as a kid, Apache Chief's power to grow huge when he said a couple of magic words particularly captivated me, for whatever reason. And while he wasn't on the show frequently, and his powers were kind of poorly defined, and while I couldn't understand why he would call himself El Dorado and not be gold, I nonetheless thought it was really cool to have a superhero from Mexico, as by the 'Super Powers' era my family had moved to (border town) San Diego.

With that in mind, I had forgotten that my FTC Samurai is a little 'bobble headed' and the El Dorado head sculpt is not as excellent as I had recalled. But I had also forgotten that the El Dorado figure has a wired cape, which is really cool. But I couldn't get his arms to stay up, unfortunately....

Then there's the second photo, now with FTC Cyborg and recent Mego Firestorm.

As I mentioned above, as a kid I somehow lucked into buying Firestorm's very first appearance in comic books. Then he got his own comic book again circa...1982/3? And then one day, I saw him on the, I think, Legendary Super Powers show, complete with the professor! I thought that was so awesome to see this kind of obscure character in animation. But then, when Cyborg joined, in Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians, that was so awesome. I had already been a long-time fan/buyer of the New Teen Titans comic book, and he was by far my favorite DC superhero at the time.

With regard to the actual figures in this group photo, I was super bummed to see that my FTC Cyborg's clothes are disintegrating, despite being stored in a plastic case (with other figures), and me pulling him out to display briefly, maybe twice before ever. Huge bummer. In contrast, that recent Mego Firestorm figure is so, so awesome. It's one of my personal favorite new Mego DC figures. What a great job. (But, like the new Mego Flash figure, his red pants are bleeding red dye into his yellow boots....

These look great! especially Apache Chief and Cyborg they really stand out, congrats on putting this set together.

They're not easy to find, and can be a little expensive, and you've got two. Really good buys.

Concentrating on the holes in my list. Took me a while to find out which are hard to get so forth. Now I`m starting to learn. Will get there.

Super jealous! Congratulations! I have only one of these and would love to have three! The 'normal face' version has been available on AliExpress for months for, like, $7-$8. But the much better Topps x Mego' mutant face variant is so much rarer and more desirable!

Thanks, trust me I know how hard this one is to get. This figure is non existant in my area. The Topps distribution method was stupid and super expensive for Canadians, the reason why so little of these made it up here.

Super lucky to add 3 to my collection.

Some very cool purchases congrats, CFTBL was always my favorite of the universal monsters. It bothers me though that Mego didn’t finish the WOZ line, at least give us the Scarecrow and Tin Man.

That Headless Horseman figure really caught my eye: I don't think I've ever seen that before, and it looks amazing!

Its the best figure from the Horror line if you ask me. I buy it every time I cross it. Happy to get an open one as a bonus.
