13 inch Golden Age Flash. DC Direct }

[Captain]

Nice line in general, but the price and scale (who decided on 13"...was it a homage of some sort to Megos too big 12 inchers?) put them out of my target range. Should have stuck with the rumored Mego rerelease instead. (I could start another rumor here...but wont!)

I saw your Superman in the Comic Forum....it looks great.

I had heard that most all the "S" icons were misprinted too low---
yours looked correctly placed.

Which Superman are you talking about? There are two versions the first issued one the deluxe edition with the suit and glasses and the Normal edition with the New Head. I have the First one and The S is perfect.

It's the reissued "Classic" Superman pictured here:

Technically, the swashbuckler boots are wrong for that era too. That was a 70s thing. Jay had little short booties with wings. He got the Captain America-like boots in the 70s, probably due to artists not doing their homework!

I had to go back and look at the pic again. You are right Chris. Those are tall swashbuckler boots like Captain America. They would be easy to trim down and correct that error. It's pretty much a '70's verison of Jay as the Flash. Except they forgot the graying at his temples. Talk about someone not doing their homework.

Hugh is indeed right- the vast majority of "S" emblems ever seen on the Classic Supes (at least when it first came out-perhaps there was a second run?) were practically on his belly. I made poor Charlie dig through all the ones his store got to find the one with the best placement.
