What mego can you not stand the sight of!

[Goblin19]

I knew poor Mxy would take a lot of heat. Catwoman is my least favorite of all my Megos, but I don't hate the figure. Cap is definitely the worst rendition of any of the heroes, but I still like him just the same.

Ok please no hate mail or death threats but i'm going to say it, the two 8 inch WGSH i only own to complete the line are MXYie and PAINTED COWL BATMAN there i said it as a kid my friend showed me his BATMAN it was the painted cowl version and i hated it the R/C BATMAN rules but the painted cowl batman is just lame and i never liked it from day one

yay!!!
I have to agree to the max! I have had offers from people for really cheap painted cowl batman's and I refuse every time simply because the only batman I want in my collection
is the RC batman, he is far superior because the RC is just the extra bit of realism that makes him so mego like.
Regardless of my strong view on the RC batman, painted batman is not on my hated list, he is still cool, he just get's dragged through the mud big time by the RC batman.

As a kid i had the R/C BATMAN, i would have him in the batcave with his cowl off just like in the comics, my friend Steve had the painted cowl version i hated the head big time, i think if MEGO would have done a better job on the head like giving him longer ears i might have forgiven Mego for doing away with the R/C, i'm seriously thinking of redoing my fist fighter Batman with an repo R/C since he is far from mint condition and i'm using repo parts to finish the outfit anyway

I guess it's just nostalgia that I like Capt. America's goofy stare or Dracula's screen-printed body suit.

That said, The Cheron figure was always a bland alien to me.

And it would have been better if Myxy was Teen Titan sized.

a titan sized fat body

Come to think of it... I don't remember Myxy being "chubby" in the comic books. Was that just a Mego thing?

I always loved Gorn and he stands proudly in my new display case, I hope to get a carded version soon.
I always hated the fact that the Hulk was so small. In fact his hands just seemed silly with his thumb on the top of his fist, and no clothes would fit him, he became abit stumpy in my house (twice) because of broken pins. At least The Thing had a body suit to keep his legs together(ish) but even he looked as if someone had taken a knife to an orange.
Conan and Thor just look to sissy with all that hair, as a child they looked like DOLLS in PAIN. My absolute fav was/is Spiderman but even as a child the fact that you couldn't take off his mask drove me mad, that I even cut two slits up the side of an Action Man head so that I could place it over spideys and dressed him in rolled up Action Man Clothes. Spidey went everywhere with me. I even took him (secretly in a bag) to a job interview about 10 years ago

yeah, I think it was a Mego thing actually, Myx doesn't really look fat or chubby in the cartoon's/comics, he wasn't pencil thin either, but I would not have given him a fat body at all, they should have just made him small like the WOZ munchkins.

[starsky]

i'd have to agree with the majority- mxy and lizard. those two are definitely last on my list of wgsh.

funny thing about the mego influence on culture with mixy is in the late 80's superboy show. When Mixy apears he is played by Michael J Pollard (the same actor who leads the "onlies" in the Star trek (TOS) ep MIRI). Tell me this guys isn't a dead ringer for the mego mixy head sculpt and he was a little portly too

I have to agree with Joe about the Teen Titans. They're my favorite team in all comics, and Mego's sculpts were pretty good on the guys. Too bad Wondergirl's was so generic. If for nothing other than to make them in scale with Robin, it would have been nice if Mego had made them 8" tall. Plus, an in-scale Wondergirl would have made a great addition to the Supergals. I think her outfit and accessories worked pretty well, but I also wish Mego had given her bracelets, or followed Wonder Woman's example and used flesh-toned sleeves with colored cuffs. And no matter what size they made the Robin figure, I really would have liked him to have his classic hairstyle.
I also just can't find any love for Action Jackson. I don't like the face sculpt and to me, they don't look very "rugged." I prefer the modified Bruce Wayne sculpt that was used in an advertisement which was once posted here.

I fall on the other Side it always bothered me Robin wasn't smaller than batman but I loved that Aqualad was smaller just like he was in the filmation show.

I can't say I outright hate the look of anyone in particular. I'm gonna defend the Mummy, I think he looks pretty good (maybe I'm sentimental because I had one as a kid). However I was very disappointed by Dracula. The rest of the Mad Monsters look great IMO, but Drac looks downright goofy. I know that Mego couldn't step on any Universal or Legosi estate toes, but they could have done a bit better. The Drac painting on the box looks great however.

I loved the Monsters as well. Too bad Dracula wasn't patterned after Christopher Lee from the Hammer films.

Love your Megos, just don't LOVE your Megos...

I am somewhat blinded by mother's love on him, I swear I took him to bed as a kid.

What you did in the privacy of your own bedroom is your own business.
I just hope you outgrew it.
Or at least got a life-sized blow-up.


Heh.

Worst Look? The Fat Body.

Pretty much any figure with the fat body turns me off. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because they can't sit down right. Maybe it's because the costumes/outfits never fit the body scheme correctly. Plus, what kid really wants to play with a "fat" action figure? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate Mego's effort in creating a new body style for the figures, I just wish they could have done something much cooler.
