    Hmmm I would have to say the worst are the SuperGals w/ those big ole' heads! And painting the emblems on Isis and Wonder Woman's heads was dumb. If Mego could do wrist bands, they could do head bands. And poor BatGirl. Underneath that cowl, ALL HEAD. It didn't need to be THAT big! (BTW...I don't like Catwoman, either. They should have at least given her longer hair.)

    But the best I think were the other characters in the Batman line.

          Best: I really love Iron Man. He might not be exactly right, with the eyes and all. But those inaccuracies make him even more appealing to me as a mego. Spiderman a close second.

          Worst: I don't find Catwoman terribly interesting. I consider her a mego missed opportunity.

            Best - Iron Man (fists, baby!) and Thor.
            WANTED - Solid-Boxed WGSH's, C.8 or better.

                While the Apes are my favorites I think they did a great job with the Star Trek crew. Such great likenesses although the non-removable boots were a bit dumb.
                Oh wait, this is just superheroes, duh. sorry.
                well, lets see then...
                Have to agree the Mxyzptlk was a big miss. At the very least they should have put him on a teen titans body and even that wouldve been too big. and he wasnt even fat so what's up with that? I wonder what his head would look like on a TT body with a resized suit?? has anyone ever tried that?

                best? hmmm. I think most of the Batman-related ones are pretty good. Joker, etc. Still need to replace that Joker but those people with too much money keep outbidding me on ebay.

                          I was disappointed in the Thing when I was a kid though. (never had him)
                          I thought the bodysuit with printed 'rocks' looked bad.
                          I'm sure it was for cost-cutting reasons as most megos are basically just a head that can be put on nearly any body.
                          Wouldn't it have been cool, though had they took the time to make snap-on armor 'rocks', etc. maybe similar to the tin man or knights with a removable head so that he could've been Ben Grimm or the Thing??

                            Single best action figure ever made: Removable mask Batman. But I'm biased.

                            Best execution/closest likeness: Mr. Fantastic. He is nigh perfect. They couldn't possible improve anything except his head is a big large.
                            I'll put Thor, Green Arrow, Iron Man and Green Goblin in there as well. Green Arrow comes in the second tier because his boots should be flat topped, not pointed and the wrist cuffs look nothing like his gloves. I'd also put the Titans high up on the ladder.

                            Worst: Mxyzptlk but not just for poor execution. He was just a bad choice for Superman's villain. I'll also add the Gals. In particular WW and Catwoman. I love BG but I HATE that her mask is partially sculpted on her face. Supergirl is by far the best of the Gals.

                            I had to edit to include Cap. What a turd. He has charm and I love him but Mego really dropped the ball on him.

                              I was just on ebay and noticed the little rascals dolls. I'm not familar with them but I'm guessing they are even smaller than the titans? Are they the same scale as 8 inch figures? (like if you stood one next to an 8 inch mego would they look like kid-size?)
                              I wonder if a Mxy head would fit on that body?

                                Same scale. They look like kids. I always wanted to do a cool younger version of Robin with one.

                                If I'm not mistaken, Scott, founder of the Museum, did a very cool Mxy custom with one some years ago.
