    I don't. I wanted reproductions of the original Megos first, then any improvements later.

    That said... yeah, this is a improvement that needed to be done. He is MUCH better that the original Mego version. No complaints. Actually, kudos are in order. No big head issue either and this can be considered a new figure, just like Alfred.

      Nicely done--the larger head in this case is more impish, & the boots are an upgrade. They appear rubbery?

            Me too. Thankfully, Mxp was never a figure I had or liked, so I don't care as much about the changes. If they start fiddling with the core characters like Shazam and Aquaman, that will stick out a lot more.

                Pointy ears,yes. It's been suggested that Mego mistook Aquaman for Namor.

                  I'm guessing that is a fairly easy custom modification--I'd have chosen an Our Gang body, too.

                    *facepalm* as you put it: FTC hasn't been doing exacting repros since the beginning.

                    An ear-bob or cape-color change isn't any more significant than the many small changes or few missteps they've made.

                          So, I probably shouldn't ask you about Bat-Mite?

                              its righting a Mego wrong, at least he's accurate now size wise.

                                I can agree with the scale part Joe...but making him in the first place was a "Mego wrong" to me.
