Well, KISS is going to need new bodies if they intend to win against the Phantom of the Park!

I generally like this, though I think the waist would look better with a more enclosed, larger ball-joint similar to vintage. There's a lot of gap there, and it will not look great with less-clothed characters.

The enhanced musculature is nice.

Nice!!!!!
Which figures I plan on replacing with this body? All my New Mego ones. I hope they offer clear, Silver, and other colors.
Another great presentation, Brain!

Thanks for this Brian. I enjoyed watching. Looking forward to seeing this body on future Mego figures.

Many thanks for the video review. It needs a thigh cut otherwise the leg articulation is more limited than the original mego bodies . This body reminds me of the Famous Covers and DC Hasbro bodies: Not the worst nor the best. A bit outdated in my opinion. ( I guess the Marvel Legends figures spoiled me.) I will be sticking with the the Type-S as my body to go.

I really like the new body! On first impression, I'd venture to say even I like it more than the Type Z. Bravo to Mego for making the move to bandless.

t looks like it is a hair smaller than the current body, which probably makes it closer in size to the (non-bandless) FTC body.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Great video. Fun to watch, doesn't take the whole thing too seriously. The new body is a definite upgrade and I look forward to it. So many more poses are possible, and hopefully the durabilty will be better. i wish we could have some more neck articulation, but I don't hear anyone else screaming for it, so maybe it's just me. The female bodies are in dire need of an upgrade. I hope once the new male ones are underway, we get that, too.

[TRDouble]

Looks good. Different from the Type S and because of the neck construction, it's not screwed together like the Type S. The design is different than a standard classic Mego body too, most notable in the crotch piece design. It adds another body type to the mix, which is really nice to have.

I wanted to add, the FTC Werewolf head looks nice. Not my thing, but I would be interested in that final product. I am hoping we see something new from FTC soon. It's been a while since we've seen a new, packaged figure from them.

[Earth 2 Chris]

That's very impressive. My one minor nitpick would also be the gap between the torso and pelvis, but maybe they determined that open area really gives some added range of motion. Very nice upgrade for Mego, and it honestly should help them appeal a bit more to folks outside of our circle who really dig hyper-articulated figures that can sell poses.

I liked the dig on ratcheted knees. Topical! ;-)

Looks pretty good. Legs seem a tad long, but I think that is because of the way the torso is constructed.

I do wish the knees were like the elbows with the swivel hinge, but overall it's definitely a nice improvement.

[Nostalgiabuff]

looks fantastic, except as most have said, that pelvis area, but maybe that will also be corrected on the final. How durable did it feel? easily breakable or pretty tough to survive kids playing with it?

is it just an optical illusion or does the new body seem just a tad shorter than the regular body?

[Brown Bear]

Can’t wait to see this in person. Are there any waist issues like Mattel Retro Action?

[Confessional]

Cool share! Interesting and curious… looking forward to a side x side comparison with a classic T2, contemporary Mego body, Type-S, and the new Bandless.
