        I'd say "pass", or "no thanks" but we're not supposed to say anything negative and just be grateful FTC is churning out more Superman, Batman, Robin, Joker, and Riddlers! :/

          Excellent point. I collect Hot Toys figures for the INCREDIBLE detail and quality. I love Mego because I grew up with them and the 8" scale...why would I want identical versions only bigger? I don't understand the philosophy behind this??

              I'm anxious to see one in person. If this does come out in May I hope someone can bring these to Mego Meet for a close inspection.

                  8 inch, 12 inch, now 18 inch, it's getting ridiculous the taller the figure the higher
                  the prices go, when will they start making the life size Mego WGSH? instead of
                  remaking bigger what they already have, I'm sure they can come up with something
                  new, like repro Starsky and Hutch or WGSH not made yet.

                    That's the spirit!!!!!

                    Don't tell anyone, but the word on the street is that next week there's going to be a slight variation in the texture of the oven mitts that will flat blow your mind. I'm hoping they go super crazy and double down with both matte and semi-gloss.

                      I'm surprised how many people don't like these.

                        I'll join the chorus vocalizing against blown up versions of the 8" figures. A missed opportunity to create some really detailed sculpts and costumes. I'd only be interested in a Spider-Man, and since FTC doesn't have the Marvel license that won't be happening.

                          Me too. But I also get that people are anxious to see the WGH line expand into the next tier - Flash, GL, etc.

                                I like the Robin, and plan to get him if he looks like the prototype figure. New eight inch ones don't look like the original, so this is better. As far as new characters, if the large ones sell well, they might make ones Mego never made. If you want an eighteen inch Apache Chief, this is probably why they can make him. They couldn't make a giant body for just one figure. Molds are way too expensive for that. I predict Apache Chief in the new 18" format coming soon!
