World's Greatest Heroes! New "Series 3" Full-Page Ad

I've been collecting *** and love *** vintage Megos, been collecting them for close to 30 years now, just voicing my opinion not anyone elses. If there are Mego collectors who want these then power to them.

That sentiment wouldn't be so ironically loaded if it wasn't posted on a message board born out of a love for the original Mego figures (WGSH included). What could have *more* of a point and be more desired than the figures becoming available again after a 30 year gap?

The irony of not wanting the old line resurrected lessens when considering the purists, admittedly.

I didn't buy the reissue of Superman #1. Just read it for free online!

Instead of buying CTVTEMCEDMMATTEL, I can upgrade my outdoor barbecue patio living situation!

I hear ya... I just thought you saying "I can't see the point" as far as what a company releases, and saying it to a bunch of Mego fans was a bit too ironic not to comment

I personally cant get excited over these either, I just havent got that anticipation as I did for the Mattel ones, until I actually see a new character from them.

Oh, but they DID add a new figure: Alfred... beautiful, exciting ALFRED!

You don't get it an you never will Hue. It's not about being a purist...it's about NEW product. I can buy 90% complete ORIGINAL Batman and Robin's all day long on Ebay for about $5 less than what these repros will retail at. Does it make sense to have the first three lines of a toy company's retro figures come out with NOT ONE new figure??!!?? This will die a quick death. It's sad because I want to see the Egghead and Romero Joker figures...but it will never happen. It might happen in 12 inch form, but not 8 inch form.

Firstly... "line dying a quick death" stuff is hard to swallow for me these days being that, I too, wanted new characters (more than just one plain ol' civilian)... I made my point known on these boards and essentially everybody made me out to be a complaining guy who didn't appreciate a new well-known Batman character and was silly for saying the line would be hurt because of what I saw as a stupid choice by Figures Inc. So, if you can't see, Meanie... you're preaching to the WAY converted.

As far as you and your wishes for Batman '66 stuff from Figures Inc... in theory, that's not even the same line as this one, so I don't see where you're linking them together is logical other than that they are both DC licensed and contain Batman characters.

As far as you saying this is "not about being a purist", if you'd simply look at this thread, the collectors who are trying to avoid running into repros were already brought up, so getting huffy at me for referring to that isn't needed. Also, if what you're saying about these new figures not being a bargain or at least "comparable" pricewise compared to hunting vintage figures of similar mint condition on Ebay, well, I'd just love it if you were right. Show me where I can get loose, mint examples of all these WGSH characters for 30 bucks on Ebay and I'll be a happy toy collector.
