My take on the Retro Batman line so far

^And hopefully some corresponding foes.

PLUS Aquaman, sheesh!

Mine showed up today...one major problem. The twist tie holding the Joker to his bubble was so tight it tore the front of the neck plug pretty much in half.

That's very cool Iron Mego I like how Bigfoot gets the lounge chair.

Are you getting a replacement? That had to be one tight twist tie.

While there are likely other examples, the one time I clearly saw a re issued product kill an original is the Marx Knights. You know, Sir Gordon or whatever. I still had the silver one from when I was a kid, missing 1/2 of his stuff. So I got a reissue, put the missing armor on him and now I have NFI what is original and what isn't. The figures look different, but not the stuff. I'll never sell it, so it doesn't matter. But I'd hate to have had a mint vintage collection of the set and had the reissues kill the value.

Having said that, you can always tell Doc's stuff, and it appears you can distinguish these items as well, so I'm all for it. Break 'em out and play with the kids and the Barbies!

Thanks guys. I am... er, I mean my daughter is really excited because on Wednesday we are going to play with our guys all day long.

On a side note, I'm encouraged to see excitement about these from outside our community as well. On the FB page for Back Issue magazine there are folks who remember megos (but aren't current collectors) and they are ready to scoop these up.

Email FTC...they will send you a new head. They're really good about stuff like that.

Playing around with the colored lights.
YES, I know that Batman & Robin's belts are switched, I like them that way.

[MEMEGO]

WOW are the neck plugs that weak? this reminds me of the Mattel neck plugs, I hope this not the case. keep us informed.

[ubermanx]

I opened a Batman and it has a split glove right off the bat ... ugghhh.

Not to mention one arm is stuck deep into the torso.

Not terrible impressed so far.

Last time I let them about something like this they told me they would send out replacement parts for me on my next order.
Awesome thanks,but my next order won't be for a couple months.
I believe them they've done it before.
