My take on the Retro Batman line so far

[megonaught]

And this site.
Thanks to all that have worked on this great site.

Paul will always be the God Father to the Mego universe. And the Mego-Musuem is the headquarters from which we all unite. The Super Collector (along with his trusty partner Snyderman) lead the ceremonies.

i just got my two sets ,and they are fantastic ,they look and feel like the classics ,i havent seen reprodutions of megos this good since EMCE apes & star trek,to all who made these possible a big thank you .interesting to note ,the shipping box from figures says its box 1012 of 1250 ,which must mean that there are 3750 of each character in this assortment ,three of each figure in a case of 12.i know figures is selling cases of just batman or robin ,so who knows how many of them will be produced or if there will be reorders ,i think they will do quite well with these

Great pics!
Here's one of my 2 Batmen getting acquainted. The 1 on the left is vintage Mego (except for Doc Mego belt) . On the right is the new Figures version.

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

Thanks for posting the photo

will anyone be offering these up on the forum sometime soon for sale..as ordering from the site is normally a killer as to what some members can do and ship them for... I see some now in the uk but there wanting nearly $47.00 per figure...

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

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.

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.

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

[megonaught]

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.

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.

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.

[LadyZod]

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

[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.
