[HardyGirl]

I will be happy w/ the Wonder Twins and doubly happy for Wendy, Marvin and Wonderdog.

-Beautiful sculpt
-Way too big
-the female body needs a major overhaul

[Krypt0nite]

The head sculpt is nice but way too big for the body.

A tight fitting bodysuit and large collar will likely exacerbate the oversized noggin. If FTC puts out Jayna with the head as pictured, it will not only kill my interest in her but also in Zan and Gleek even if they are perfectly proportioned. As it stands now, I've passed on Alfred and I'm going to have to see the finished products of Bizarro, Gordon, R'As, and Scarecrow too before committing to purchase.

"Big head syndrome" is a deal breaker for me: I hope FTC will correct this.

Since in my mind I associated the Mego Superman, Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman and Aquaman with superfriends I would be thrilled if they do ones that look like those designs. Especially Aquaman.

That looks like a resin mold of the actual sculpt. I believe that there is always some shrinkage in the production process.

*facepalm*

ohh sure, of course you think its perfect. They've said they will fix this issue, but we've heard the same song and dance from BBP. really don't get how this stuff gets past the test shot phase. It demonstrates that they have no interest in fixing this issue before they go into production.

[Brown Bear]

My expectation for the SF line is thee all time greatest line of mego's ever produced!

Nekkid prototype. *facepalm*

It's true, I've heard Doc Mego mention the shrinkage percentage when they're "Roto-Cast" in China...but I can't remember what it was?

We shall see. In all honesty, I hope you're right and those of us concerned about this aesthetically ridiculous, avoidable head-scale problem are proven wrong.

shrinkage

I'm obviously not mature enough for this conversation.

I'll add my *facepalm* and stop there.

My hope? That Batman looks at least as good as the 7" figure. Nice square jaw(no goofy smile ). Also, I'm hoping for the same type of Gloves & Boots as the BATMAN 66 FTC Figure.

[VintageMike]

LOD, especially ones that haven.t been made yet.

Boy, if they got the Super Friends "look" down, as DC Direct did years ago, that would be outstanding!

It shrinks about 6%.
