    I'm honestly GLAD that Figures 66 output is coming a bit later. That way it will hit AFTER much of the stuff we've seen, and may have a better chance of catching on with the general comic/Batman fans, and not get lost in the glut of 66 merchandise that is hitting right now. Hopefully this will translate to more waves making it out.

      Honestly, I'm not concerned about the body itself as we have several options for those--the deco/costume fabrication is paramount for me. But of course for the price-point, we should be getting as good a body as we do with CAW, Emce/BBP, and Pres. Monsters.
      WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

                I got mine today, but I am trying to wait until Christmas to open them. I don't know if I can hold out that long. I hope this line is successful and we get characters produced like firestorm, blue beetle, and ragman. Has anyone else received theirs and opened them for a close look? They look well made from the pics that were posted earlier, good luck to all!!!!!!!!!!!

                      I got mine. I'm not gonna open them until Christmas, but I did take the clamshells out and look them over. Prety nice! Then I put 'em back in the box. Can't wait for Christmas!

                        So it is clamshell packing... We can reseal them back in after opening?

                          That's what they posted on FB...they made them smaller so they aren't gigantic like the KISS and Mad Monsters one were/are. Just might entice me to not toss it...

                            I didn't remove them from the clamshells, just the shipping box. The only Mego I've ever opened on Christmas is AJ. I want a Mego Christmas!

                              Just got my Batman and Robin in today. Overall I really like them. I compared them to the originals and there were a few little differences. First off they are a little smaller and the colors are not the same (mainly the boots, shoes and gloves). Also, Robin's shirt has long sleeves. Not sure if this is inaccurate considering my vintage Robin has a repro shirt with shorter sleeves. Robin's belt design is also different from the repro belt on my vintage Robin. They do come in clam shell packaging. In order to open them you have to cut the Figures Toy Co. tie which I did not do.
