    worst WGSH Figure/Best

    I feel that out of all the heros done Captain America came up the shortest. His was byfar the worst uniform done. (8 inch figure). no gloves wrong boots stripe pattren was completely wrong no white on the arms and his head sculpt was very poor. Im still trying to guess why they had the black up front and the A my guess is that they had no idea who Cap was and when looking at classic Kirby drawings they mistook the shadeing often done as the real color.

    Anyway there were other Megos that had simular treatment cough (Gorn) Cough (gorn) but as far has the heros go Cappy suffered greatest.

    any other opinions?

    As far as best I would have to say Thor was one of the best. his sculpt was dead on the glowing like eyes gave the impression of power his uniform was very close and he had his wrist bands Mjlorinor was a bit off but for its day it was classic. The chrome helm and doll hair were perfect touches. My close second was mr and Ms Fantastic of the FF4 the classic uniforms were perfectly reproduced and looked great though the tourch and Grim were not that good but given what they tried to do and hads to work with was a great job. I mean how else can you do a rock guy in swin trunks and a man on fire... I just stripped my touch since he had an all red body and shockingly he looked better....

    Thats my 2 cents

        I disagree Captain America is Awesome. Remember they had to keep the price on the figure about the same as the others so, they cut out the gloves and used the molds for the boots they had. The head doesn't seem too bad to me either. I guess I just like this figure. He comes with a shield!!

        Anyway, my choice for worst has to be my favorite DC character. Wonder Woman has a one piece outfit and didn't even come with her famous lasso. I still love WW as I had a few of her as a kid just because I love WW but mego why didn't you paint her headband better and give her a lasso. Wondergirl comes in second as worst. WG had no bracelets, no lasso her main weapons? What was mego thinking?

        Best, hard choice as I think a few would be my top choice maybe 2nd edition Supergirl, or kidflash. I even like Thor alot.

          The worst has to be MR MXYZPTLX as a kid i rember no one having or likeing him, The best is RC/BATMAN with SUPERMAN coming in second, As a kid RC/BATMAN was the first WGSH i got and it was love at first site a week later i got SUPERMAN, so to me these will always be the best of them all

            Hulk looked great, but he comes up short in the height department, same goes for the Thing. Best ones to me are the entire Batline. Mxy is the most unwanted of the bunch.

                I had so many favorites in the WGSH line. Each figure had its own charm and drawbacks. My personal all-time favorite of the WGSH line was Green Arrow.

                The worst? Like others I hated that Hulk and Thing weren't taller and that Mr. Mxy wasn't the proper height. Wonder Woman certainly got the shaft (no pun intended) in the Super Gals wave. But the worst of the figures is Mr Mxy.

                  I agree with Action Martin that each figure had its own charm, even if it wasn't a perfect depiction (i.e. a yellow cape on Captain Marvel/Shazam).

                  To me the worst is Iron Man's face, he always looked character-wise like Mr. Miracle from the New Gods in yellow. I always wish that they should have put extending arms on Mr. Fantastic (ala a TV antenna with the hands on the end). Also wishing that they had an RC like Johnny Storm so he wouldn't be flame on all the time.

                  The Best to me are the RC Batman and the RM Robin. There is a "we are the first" vibe that I get from them.
                  It's all good!
