    First off, awesome! I'm happy with all of these coming out. Secondly, Luthor and Brainiac do seem to be the most notable no-shows (though I think the Mattel version does me fine for Lex), which may bode well for a future wave 3. Possibly with a Cyborg Superman, to get an 'S' in there?

      I'll probably only get Bizzaro. The others look a little......off. Mxy has been on a fat body for 40 years,not quite use to seeing him this way. Not really digging the head sculpt on Supes. Like I said it looks...off.

        Happy to see Bizarro but his head looks too big. They should have done a completely different head on Myx. He looks like someone's grandfather's mini-me clone. Neither original mego head looks good in 7 inch.
        It's not a doll it's an action figure.

          I like the addition of the Bizarro necklace.

            His card design is spot-on as well, maybe FTC's best so far.

              I'll get Bizarro, for sure. Maybe Mxy.

                Everyone begged for a short Mxy and now most are complaining about how bad he looks short. This is what FTC gets for listening to its customers, I would have much rather had Mxy be an 8 inch like Mego did.

                  these differences of the figures... head sculps being not quite right... clothes baggy etc is not a bad thing in my eyes..its the tell tale signs so people aren't fooled on parts as being original I think..

                    I think these look great!!!
                    Mxy finally done right after 40 years!

                      Well, I'm going to pass on Supes, Kara and Mxy, since my Megos are nice and minty, but I'm in for Bizarro, and all of wave 2!

                      Okay, maybe I do need a Superman for Nightwing!

                        Must pre-order! These are a great addition.

                            Like I had said,he was on a taller body for 40 years. I think it'll just take some time for people to get use to seeing him on a shorter body. Also the baggy clothes don't help.

                              I would have chosen a child body in fact--there've been terrific, polished custom Mxyzptlk's here in that style. The proto costuming is a real detriment & I hope it's modified.

                                Mxy on a smaller body corrects a mego mistake we all never liked.

                                Never thought I'd see a mego Bizarro. This makes me very happy, especially with the necklace added too. Perfect!
