Topps Mego Monday Thread

[imlaughing2death]

Man, STILL no monsters yet? Maybe they're waiting for it to get closer to Halloween season or something.

I think it is just as possible that the site is showing orders instead of quantities per order. With the 2 figure limit, that would at best double the quantities... but would explain why Mego is stating those numbers are lower than the actuals.

Even if you're right, assuming 100% of the orders were for two figures each, those still aren't very impressive numbers.

[LonnieFisher]

So any idea when they will start shipping these?

Probably in four months for the first ones offered. The site says 90 to 100 business days and the first ones were sold about a month ago. It's a long wait, but not that surprising since they aren't being manufactured until after they are offered.

That Ra's Al Ghul sculpt is very much Neal Adam's original design with that elongated noggin and receeding hairline! Great sculpt! I could nitpick and point out that Adams' Ra's never had eyebrows, but I'll leave that alone. He looks great.

I like Green Arrow fine, but I wish his light green wasn't quite as vibrant/day-glo. But either way, I'm in.

They are both nifty figures. But Ra's is not a character I feel the need as an action figure, and while I love the hooded Green Arrow look... I would have preferred the outfit a little closer to Stephen Amell and less... "day-glo" as you say. I may regret it later, but a little breather for the old wallet won't hurt.

I'd be shocked if those numbers aren't accurate. Simple logic sort of hashes it out.

Shazam and Black Adam have almost identical numbers (most people would order both of those as a pair moreso than any other set to date), but Black Adam slightly less popular overall so some just went for Shazam. Apes figures slightly better sellers, but Zira significantly below Taylor. Trek best sellers yet (as people start to purchase to flip as well seeing the secondary market pre-sells) with Spock selling the most (most iconic figure to date)... Yeah, feels about right.

1000 pcs is probably the threshold to get made.

They sucked me in again. GA is a real leap of faith, if the production version looks like the easy kitbash pictured I will be disappointed.

[Jrfjr126rock]

I snagged both! I have been wanting Green Arrow updated for years! I love the original and FTC replica but I always hated how his belt was attached to his backpack. I wasn't wanting Ras but picked him up and if I decide to not keep him sell him to someone who missed out.

Green Arrow today!!!!!!

A Green Arrow...8" or 14" would be great! Would love to also see an 8" "Origin" release of Batgirl in the mix somewhere with a Topps or a regular release.

[Liu Bei]

I’m waiting for TNG Crusher and Troi figures. They’d be perfect for this format.

[Nostalgiabuff]

the original announcement said 14" as well

[wise guy]

Is Topps is supposed to have 14'' figures in the Monday exclusives, or just 8'' ? An 8'' Poison Ivy would be nice , but I'm hoping we get hooded Green Arrow, and Deathstroke.
