Mego 50th Anniversary WGSH revealed

[powersthatbe]

went to another Walmart yesterday. Just one superman left on the pegs. Plenty of the horror Megos though.

Wow....Flash and Green Lantern r Sold Out already at ZLC. Flash is also sold out at BBTS. Mego really got it right this time.

I had ordered most of them on ZLC months ago, and as more became available for Pre-orders....I pushed the button. I really Luv ordering from ZLC....Great Costumer service.

Totally agree. ZLC is my Mego "go to store" also.

Received a damaged Superman and Shazam yesterday evening (Looks like the boxes were crushed before shipping.) and a returned labeled was emailed to me for a replacement in less than one hour after contact. That is like WOW. If I had a business I doubt I could respond as fast.

FYI. I am a repeated customer of ZLC and my recent experience with Superman and Shazam is an isolated incident.

I find ZLC to be a great site to get Mego stuffs.

Forgive my ignorance but I thought only Superman-Batman and Robin were available at Walmart and Amazon, and the rest after December 7th? I see you already have the complete set.

I received my WGSH figures today. Not too happy with the bodies...just busted a knee on Batman and his belt just broke in 2....Wish the knees could bend back a little more.

The Red Son Superman head looks pretty good on that retro Superman. Just repaint the eyebrows and it'd be perfect.

The knees are definitely the weak point on the figures. You can increase the knee bend to a near 90 degrees, by trimming a little bit off behind the knee with an x-acto blade. After the first batch of retro 50th figures Mego really needs to fix the knee issue.

Tip - Try dipping the new bodies in boiling water for about a minute to prevent possible breakage. It really removes the brittleness from the plastic joints.

Thanks for the advice brother....I will try to boil the brittle plastic parts and utilize an x-acto knife to achieve 90 degree bend on the knees (this should've been addressed already by Mego). Additionally, I have another Batman and Robin coming soon. Superman's head came from the Red Son Superman from Mego...I also noticed that the bandless body of the Red Son Superman can bend the knees 90 degrees and overall isn't as brittle as the 50th Anniversary Superheroes. I question the quality control here.

I noticed them at my Walmart and there were just a few robins and aquamans and one superman dangling.

Wait, you saw Aquaman?
So far I’ve only seen Superman, Batman and Robin at Walmart.

I got some of mine in today and I love them except for the stickers. Three of my stickers are damaged - otherwise they look beautiful. Wish we could get a second wave without stickers and lose the mittens (use the Green Lantern style for gloves) plus have non removable cowl/mask Batman & Robin (the ones I had a s a kid). I would keep these in box and display the rest. More than happy to double and triple dip for this style and overall quality.

Thanks for posting the pics. The 50th anniversary figure looks slightly taller, and the structure and joints seem a bit more flexible, I’m guessing there’s no issues of concern no matter how minor.

I really hope I can find these at my local Walmarts, especially when the other 5 heroes come out, I heard after or around December 7th.

Just a teeny tiny bit taller, but not enough so that they don't look fine with the classic figures. Only tweak really needed is fixing that 45 degree knee; otherwise, as you can see, the posability is very good.
