My take on the Retro Batman line so far

[pmwasson]

I love them. I took me right back to being 8 years old. I'm glad I opened mine, but I'm a bit envious of those who are waiting for Christmas to open them since this was the closest feeling I've ever had to a time machine.

I think Figures Toys had really upped their game and can't wait to see what come next.

yea, just from the chatter, it doesn't sound like a swap out is gonna be a big deal as before…sounds like they've retooled.
If the bodies are a bit tight/stiff and are causing breakage, well, I'll just re-string if it bothers me that much.
As mentioned, they all break..even as good as Doc's bodies are, I have had the occasional torso pop apart or pins break…it's easier to accept those because his line hasn't had the chronic problems as CTVT.
The bandless bodies will be the game changer and I can't wait to get them.

Looking forward to the mailman bringing my figs…could be tomorrow at the earliest.

I don't plan on swapping mine out.

[drogge]

I can not wait to get these, my local comic book store is holding two sets for me. I just hope they arrive soon. Has anyone seen these out in the wild yet?

[Iron Mego]

I don't think I'll be swapping mine out until the bandless bodies are available. I haven't seen a banded body yet, including Mego's, that doesn't have some issue or another. Some are too tight, some are too loose, some tilt, some twist. It's the nature of the beast.

[LadyZod]

ahh... so the typical "swap'em out for Dr Mego Bodies" are in order.

[Iron Mego]

For those who've open them and played with them a bit...how're the bodies?

There's a lot of comments about the bodies in this thread. Consensus so far is that they are very tight, and some have had cracked shoulder connections. No pee pee stance or floppy bodies though.

I played with mine for about 3 hours last night. They are strung a little tight, but that doesn't really bother me. The clothing is durable and well made. They are fun. It made me jump on ebay and start looking at Mego Batmobiles.

Now that we are getting the DC heroes wouldn't it be great if marvel were to work a deal
With figures?
Then we would have the entire wgsh line.

Boy, as this thread goes on, and more pics are posted, I get more and more anxious to get mine! I hope they show up today.

Yep, definitely smaller head. Though I think its looks fine - not undersized really, just kinda thinner. Makes Bats look taller

The body themselves are fine - only issue is the freakin bands are too tight and caused a crack in 1 arm. I had an extra T2 shoulder so, I've put that in and it's fine now.

I think it looks good too and I agree he does seem taller. I love my Mego Batman but I've always thought his head was a little too round.

Glad to hear you could fix your broken arm.

I've got a Mego Batman and Robin so I'm very tempted by the Joker and Riddler. Heck I'm tempted to get all four.I like the look and Bats & R are different enough from the originals. Actually some of the differences might even be, dare I say it, improvements.At the very least welcomed variations. Love that blue and lighter grey on Bats.

It's looking more and more like I need a second job.

I think all the heads are slightly smaller.
Probly from the molds being made from existing heads not from orginal molds.

Does it like the new one has a thinner head maybe.

Thanks for posting the photo
