    Anyone else feeling a tad overwhelmed?

    Man oh man. It's a crazy time for us Mego-fans. Ever since the first information about FTC's Re-Megos was released it seems like the releases and announcements have snowballed. Since then we've seen new stuff from Castaway/Zica, EMCE's Marvel Megos, and just about every day now a new product from FTC. I'm actually having a hard time keeping up with all the announcements, and know I won't be able to buy half this stuff. Curious to see what else is coming, but it's already more than I would have ever dreamed of.

      Five or six years ago there I would by any mego-like figure I happened to find because there was not much out there, now there is so much being released there is no way I can keep up with it all, but there is a lot of very cool stuff coming out now. Mego is back with a vengeance!

        Maybe?? I'm not hardcore on a lot of the new remego stuff, but I do collect a ton of lines. I find a lot of this stuff easier to skip like the price-gouging DST Marvel $80 packs and anything with oven mitt gloves. I'm thrilled the 66 Batman don't have oven mitt gloves. I'm more worried about the 3 3/4inch retros driving me broke. I open everything but those make me want to keep some carded.

          VERY!!! hopefully all of these lines will be successfull enough to keep them around for a long time so we can pick them up at liesure and not have to worry about limited runs.

            Yes, I do feel overwhelmed. It's a feast for sure. My problem is, I collect a lot of other stuff too, so picking and choosing is not easy.

              I have no complaints--I collect mostly Mego, and my vintage collecting is tapering off--so all of this reMego is perfect timing.
              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.

                The more the merrier. Maybe I'll see some obsure figures from FTC like the Spectre, Dr Midnight, Hourman etc...

                  Only complaint I could have is I wish they would have done this a couple years ago when I had more disposable cash

                    I'm just starting out so no complaints here. This keeps me from having to pay ebay prices for originals.

                      I don't buy everything, so no, I don't feel overwhelmed at all.

                        I didn't really mean the buying aspect, but mainly the volume of things coming out. I'm not a completist by any means, but the sheer volume of announcements has been hard to keep up with. I guess maybe the problem for me is all the threads about the same thing. Anyway, I'm not complaining, so don't get me wrong. I just need a breather.

                              I'm just getting what I like and I likes me some 66 Bat-Dolls. I'll probably get Scarecrow and Ra's too. They look like they might work in the 66 Bat-World.
