    I asked the other night when the Catwoman style boots would be available for sale loose.

    They said that they didn't have a firm idea, but sometime next year.

    I'll admit that I'm a tad disappointed to have to wait so long, but I figure that it will be worth the wait.

    While my interest is primarily in the 1966 line, I am glad to see the other Classic Mego line being made. I'm a bit choosy when it comes to the figures I want, so I'll be glad to sit back and wait for them to come out.

    However, if the body falls apart after I get a hold of it; I stand by my right to complain.

    I was hoping for them to come out in time for Christmas (and who here hasn't?), but if I have to wait until New Year's or afterward, so be it.

      Lol. Well, that would be more a bulletin board than a forum.

      I like to think I'm expressing concerns, rather than complaints. Constructive criticism, perhaps. How could products improve otherwise?

      You can always vote with your wallet--I often advocate this--but let's be honest, wouldn't constructive criticism that leads to a line's longevity be better than killing it early?
      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.

            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.

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

                        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*

                                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.
                                My Updated Want List:
                                Comic book original art
                                1970s Hulk or Spider-man metal garbage can
                                Custom Mego Nexus, Grendel

                                Have lots of comics and Marvel Legends figures for trades. Thanks!
