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.



Infinite Hollywood: Retro-Action Lex Luthor Review

[rche]

plenty of review material in the EMCE section.

[Meule]

Yeah, everything is talked about till infinity in the EMCE Forum in the ReMego section of the boards

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.

I have a custom Black Manta that Im gonna finish up so Im going to make a Legion of Super Villians...

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.

Generic hit the nail on the head.

And, it's possible to put the heads/hands/suits on vintage or repro Doc Mego/Castaway bodies to improve the figures.

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?
