          Batman and the other 14 inch figures look great!

          As an aside, I hope that in the final packaging the faces of Batman and Zod won’t be obscured in the box. If so, hopefully, their picture is on the back of their boxes.

          Rampart, this is Squad 51. How do you read?

            The back of the box features artwork of the individual character and the side shows the other characters available in the line.
            Saw pics on FB of ZOD that someone had purchased early at Target.
            I'm not sure where the artwork was pulled from, but he was the only one that looked Silver Age.
            The rest (Batman, HQ, WW) look like New52 - right down to WW's blue boots.

              There are some more pics on ToyArk.
              I will have to see if I can find the pics of the box back that I saw on FB.

              Mego returns this year with a new line of vintage themed figures modeled to fit in with the original 8" scale line from the 60's - 80's. The line up, which will feature 8" scale and 14" scale deluxe figures, will be Target Exclusives. It looks like they're going after a ton of older licenses....

                That helps, at least. I guess the more “adventurous” could always open the box. I was always afraid to do stuff like that.

                  Here are the pictures.
                  This person says he found the figures at Target in Temple, Texas.

                  Seems an odd choice to use New52 WW of all things.

                    ^ Thanks, Mary! It’s too bad that in the case of Batman and Zod that th boxes show no photograph of the actual figure. Then again, maybe the obscuring of their faces issue has been corrected or was a non-issue when it came to actual production. If not, I’m sure many potential purchases will open up the box in order to see the face/head.

                      I think Batman has two necks. A neck built into the torso section, and a neck on the head. The body looks like it is made to just get a head with no neck post. It looks like a Neca body with a Mego head attached.
                      That's my take on the long neck.

                        Batman & Zod's heads are too small

                          I was just thinking this head looked small. Its a nice Batman figure sure. But more modern than I really like.

                              They need to fix this tiny head, long neck thing now that Figures
                              is going all out on the DC 12''. I do like the Harley Quinn figure( and will get one )but
                              Wonder Woman has a generic doll head that I don't like. I wan't to like the new Mego
                              but even in the 70's I didn't like everything they made. I hated the Waltons ,and Happy days
                              figures back then
