Batman Retro Series 1 production samples from Figures Toy

[Charlton Fan]

I'm very excited about these, and future lines. I don't mind the darker color from these photos. My Carded PinPin Batman has nearly the same color head. (and inexplicably a very pale flesh paint)
I'm hoping that the material isn't the same as Mattel's. Something about it just bugs me. I also dislike Mattel's reds. Superman, Flash, and Captain Marvels costumes are too "day glow" for me. Are we content as well to accept some of the original Mego's shortcomings such as the inferior plastic of the boots and gloves? There's one thing that's been a marked improvement. Capes that don't fray would be nice too.

For some reason, my mind is not merely focused on buying these and keeping them sealed as I have with 98% of the other retro figs. In cases where I wanted a loose fig, I bought two...and that really only dominated with the EMCE monster line.
With these, I want them all and have every intention of opening them up.
I'll prolly keep the baker card, but ditch the clam.

I'm happy that these are coming out. If they were spot on replicas, then I'd like buy them all. I did buy two each of the Mattel Retro Action figures. But, this time around, I'm likely just going to plan for the Alter Egos and Teen Titans. Though there may be an impulse buy or two.

And I'll actually buy these for the kids in my extended family as gifts to extend the "Mego" love.

I was just wondering when the retro's wave 1 were shipping to customers. Anyone know?

I understand some people's need for the exact, but compared to having almost nothing since the 1980's of this nature, I am STOKED! Thank you Figures Inc. for all these new waves of Mego goodness! *bows*

Hell yeah brother!! Couldn't agree more!

[Brown Bear]

Amen to that.

I looked up Batman and Robin and they had an August release date. Was a new date announced?

^^^ that would be interesting , And what does doctor mego think of these ,i mean this guy is our guru.

[jwyblejr]

Has anyone asked Marty what he thinks of these?

[mego73]

Clamshell, I believe.

I must have missed this somewhere...are these going to be clamshell style or vintage style cardbacks?

Batman looks good, Robin looks like he has a Ledy head. Joker looks great, best of the bunch, IMHO. Riddler looks awful. Something about his neck and the weird look in his eye.

Regardless, wish them all the best.
