Looks like it. They're covering characters that Mattel Retro Action already tackled....
I don't blame them. Those are arguably two of THE most requested non-produced Megos of all-time. If Green Lantern and Flash aren't released in the first offering of non-Batman characters, I'd say that'd be almost as stupid as only offering one new character (that happens to be a butler) in the 3 bat-waves that already exist.

Wow! Beautiful......Can you imagine if they were to venture into DC Superhero Action figures that would remotely resemble the art in their cards/case. Brand new head design/sculpts for a new generation of fans. I'm sure it would appeal to all the Masses......Both young and old. "GO FTC GO".
So that would make the first non Batman wave Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash & Green Lantern - not bad. I wonder if Superman & Wonder Woman will be exact copies of the Mego releases. Since they already have the Superman head I'd guess yes on him and the black haired female head could be used for Wonder Woman.
I never perceived Retro Action as close enough to the Mego aesthetic. And the only original Megos I tracked down are Batman and Robin. So these are very appealing to me. Full steam ahead!
The way I look at it is that I'm a Batman collector so I have most of the Mego-like figures of Batman and Robin.
If someone was a Flash collector, or Green Lantern collector, they would own the Mattel and FTC figures also.
A person who collects all Mego-like 8" figures is still going to buy FTC's heroes, even if they own RA's.
So they may as well redo them all,
cuz you can't have too many Megos!!!
