Wonder Girl sold out/retired

[ThePlayerOnTheOtherSide]

We used to restring them with elastic all the time. But the plastic itself was stronger and the bands were better designed for the figure design.

The bands from the 1st two WGSH waves were just like the original Megos, just a half inch shorter. Which meant they put too much stress on the limbs, which is why the plastic hook usually was pulled through at the shoulder.

After the first two waves FTC correctly the length of the bands and they've been fine.

Hello How can anyone not be happy and positive that MEGOS are BACK?!! Sure few issues but overall completely satisfied. It took damn long enough to get Batman 1966 figures to us! I never thought I would see the day! I read their working on Tv Wonder Woman , hope we see some prototypes soon. Bummed I read FTC asked about the ISIS license and told no!
I'm hoping for Lynda Carter , got to make a Nellie Olson (how funny would that be), Superfriends Wonder Woman , Giganta , Black Vulcan etc..the more figures they make , the more parts will be available !

Yes, Megos ** DID ** break back in the day. I remember having funerals where all the heroes would attend saying "goodbye" to each of the Megos that "died" because their arm or leg came off due to a stretch band snapping. Seriously. The old Megos used to come apart also.

Although I will say they were not broken right out of the package. I will admit that much.

Not my Riddler

His arm was broken right out the package. My Dad had to drive me back up to Sears (when major department stores were still located in the city, so it was a 5 minute drive, at best) to replace it.

Nope the female figures are pretty messed up. The bands are completely wrong. Too tight, not long enough and then the body is assembled incorrectly, both the neck and the ball joint down below the torso are incorrect. And according to some around there, the male figures in the two-packs sometimes have really loose arms.

I haven't taken apart any of the female figures but the male bodies I've gotten are just fine after the first two Batman waves and I haven't seen anyone here complaining about tight bodies since then. I haven't had any issues with any figures, male or female, since the first two Batman waves as far as tight bodies.

Ok, FTC has fixed one of the issues then, the bands on the male figures are better. Lets get them cranking on all the other issues.

The female figures won't even stand up straight, at least none of the ones with the neck issue. The bands are too strong and too short. This image is of a Batgirl before the neck was pulled out of the body, after the neck is pulled out where it's suppsoed to be the band is even shorter and needs replaced (I used elastic cord as Mego did originally).

What does that mean, do they fall over? I have my 3 female figures still on the card so I haven't tried to take them out.

In that first wave of Batman, I got two jokers and a robin with the shoulder hook pulled through. luckily I was using them for customs anyways.

I had to switch my whole first wave to Dr. Mego bodies. Haven't had to with the others I have but I haven't opened most of them.

What's the correct position for the ball joint? Bigger hole up or down?

They are so tight they stand in a bent over position.
