    Mego like on MattyCollector

    Hi guys

    so whats the verdict with Green Arrow, Green Lanterm Lex Luthor and Superman?

    I have seen Superman and felt he was too fair and a bit cartoonish.

    I might buy Green Arrow BUT want to hear from you guys as to what theyre like?

    I did a pretty thorough review of Luthor on my website a while back. Plenty of pictures to help you decide. I'll be reviewing some more later.

          Although there is a lot of feedback in the EMCE section, it is a lot to go through. Basically, I think this is what was said most...

          Biggest 3 complaints

          1. The bodies. Many people don't like them.
          2. The boots. Some people don't like them, but not as many complaints as about the bodies.
          3. The cost. Many people think they're too expensive.

          Biggest Pluses

          1. Aside from the bodies and the boots, the costumes and heads are nice.
          2. It would cost you more than this price to buy the pieces individually to make a custom.
          3. New 8" figures are in a chain store. Buy them so they'll make more.
          Nostalgia just ain’t what it used to be.

              That sums it up well. I know when i was looking at old threads there were a ton so that was cool to do this.

                  Now that would help me out a ton. does anyone have a tutorial or a thread link to exchanging the hands and heads and such onto original mego bodies?
