AAAHHHH!!!! Supercollector arrived!!!!

>It's the swivel arm body, it has a nicer shoulder range and is more "bicepy".

....and solid. Good heft, fantastic posability. It FEELS like the old Joe bods, but it LOOKS Mego. I really hope this goes well, 'cos I'd love to see more figures. Like a bad guy.... someone like "The Speculator" who goes around destroying old Mego's so's he can corner the market on them in the future. "ANd to facilitate my evil plan, I"ve teamed up with.... YOUR MOM!"

"Your old dolls, dear? I gave those to Goodwill yesterday."

LOL! THANKS FOR THE LAUGH.

Something like that, well, not the mom part.

RE: What's next?

How about a cross over with Zica? Buck Brick Rogers.

Yeah, it's darker complected but essentrially the same.

Oh, right. Cool. I thought that was the body, but I was confused.

[palitoy]

Good shots of it here

Brian that's the same body on the BBP Flash Gordon figures, right?

The body is new? What is different about it?

Glad it arrived Don, being in Ontario has it's priveledges.

-It's recommended that you heat the heads to fit them in. No biggie, since it's a zillion degrees around here already.

Yeah, it's a minor drag but it really is night and day once they are a bit warm.

-The Supercollector outfit takes some finessing to get on, but once you do it looks awesome! VERY superhero.

Yes, it was clearly designed with the regular Doc Mego body in mind, it's not fun to put on but it does look good once done.

-The real downside? Purolator mangled the box, and lost the extra body I ordered. (*sniff*) Although having finally seen one, I gotta order a few more for the GI Joe heads I'm getting from True Dave. The body looks like a Mego 8"/oldschool GI Joe 12" hybrid.

I'll replace the body, that really sucks what Purolator did.

All told, the figure puts me in mind of what Mego 8" figures would look like had the company survived to this day. The body is a much improved 8", but still "feels" Mego, and the outfit is just like an old Mego, but seems much more tailored for the figure.

So happy to hear this.

Now.... when's the NEXT one come out?

Uhhhhhhhh

A few notes:

The Good:
-TOTAL win! The figure is awesome, the body is great, the outfits are spectacular!
-The Megomuseum accesory is not only perfect to the design we've seen here over the years, but it's SOLID. Brick could serously concuss the Riddler with this thing!

The Bad (ish?)

Overall, well done! Bravo!
