Yes, I am a Mego Marvel Maniac & tired of it not getting attention it deserves!

You nailed it, ovenmitt. Until Mattel's 6" DC Superheroes line, Marvel has been killing DC in the toys and merchandising market for some time now. And with DCUC gone, DC's action figure aisle presence is a joke again.

I would like a better representation of Marvel Mego type figures too, but it is mildly entertaining to see DC putting a beating on Marvel in this genre, which actually seems to be succeeding.

Even with the 9" attempt, the, IMO, superior Hasbro DC line was a blip against Famous Cover (it did give us a great base for the Hasbro 9" Marvel line though, which I was grateful).

So, while wanting a better model for Marvel Mego, it is amusing for me to see DC winning in this genre.

Definitely not looking to start an argument... Because on Facebook I've been pretty much called a DST Schill and A Doc Mego Butt boy... Funny when I've spent almost $4000 on FTC product and only $400 on DST Marvel stuff... With that being said...

I don't get it... Yes FTC has given more regularity but they have also shoved tons of retreads and useless Exclusives on us during that time... The Batman 66 line was and still is a great thrill for me but Batman and Robin still prove to be one of their biggest Blunders With their pop on and off hands and boots... They also admittedly have flaws that they absolutely refuse to address... The large head sizes and bodies that are barely good enough for landfill... I understand price point is an issue for most but I have not seen any of these sets listed for $80 yet... They have been released at $69.99 and if you find the right site with free shipping... In cases where your paying $80 shipping is included... I have broken this down Ad nausium with price point and surprise guys the Marvel figures are cheaper... Ignore it all you want but they are, and each set has gotten progressively better; with the Wolverine set probably the best set produced by both companies to date... Once again a breakdown for those of you wishing to read through to the end...

I have broken this down ad nausium, people just refuse to acknowledge the the comparable price point... Yes I know people don't and might not want to buy 3 figures at a time but that was the deal...
4 FTC figures @ $24.99 is $99.98 add your 8.75% tax and $17 shipping and your a little over $125 for a set of 4 add $20 to $28 depending on where you get your replacement bodies ( and yes a lot of people are swapping out the bodies believe what you want but they are crap) and your talking $150 for a set of 4 FTC Figures
So $125 without bodies $150 with bodies... comes to $31.25 a figure $37.50 a figure if your replacing bodies.

3 DST Marvel figures $69.99 ( I have not seen a set listed for $80 yet)... And if you have been lucky you have been getting free shipping if not then the $12 shipping brings you to $80 add your 8.75% tax and your at $87... add $10 for 2 Doc bodies of $14 for 2 type s bodies and your at $97 to $101 a set so $32 for a set of 3 with doc bodies $33 for a set with Type s bodies if you get free shipping take $4 off a figure so your at $28 and $29 a figure...

I hope DST keeps Marvel and can get us more figures more frequently...

We all wan't Marvel remegos to go with FTC DC figures, but the current restriction placed on Diamond/Emce limits them to these sets.
Marvel is pefect for sets of 4 Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, Vision, Black Panther
Wolverine(painted head) Cyclops, F.A. Storm, Colossus
Spiderman, Lizard,Green Goblin . Electro
Daredevil, Black Widow,Bullseye, Kingpin
Hulk 2.0 8", Dr. Strange, Valkarae, Nighthawk

In 70s DC beat Marvel in Mego

In 80s Super Powers beat Secret Wars

But in 90s Toy Biz had ALL Marvel and the cartoons and Kenner just had BATMAN a few Superman and Total Garbage I mean Justice

In 2000s DC Direct and Mattel DCSH/DCUC, JLU, etc gave Marvel Legends and companion lines a run for their money!

Now Hasbro Marvel is dominating toy aisles with Mattel DC fading away but still DC Collectible (DC 6" Icons) and FTC WORLD od DC Mego of course!

I just want ANYONE to get Mego Marvel Master license so we can have

Romita Sr Spidey waves!

1974 All-New X-Men wave- Wolverine, Storm, Colossus, and Nightcrawler!

Sal Buscema Incredible Hulk wave- Hulk, Bruce Banner, Leader, Doc Samson

Kirby Fantastic 4 and 80s Byrne Fantastic 4 in BLACK and white costumes, She-Hulk instead of Thing

Original Avengers- Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, and Wasp

90s Jim Lee X-Men- Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm, Gambit, Rogue, Psylocke, Beast, Jubilee

'nuff said

Preach on brothas! I feel the same way. It seems like DC has always kicked Marvel's behind in the toy dept.

I would pay anything for a John Romita Spider-Man FTC line complete with all the villains.

Price aside, the feel and look of the FTC stuff is a complete winner for me. I've not been collecting this stuff for long, but what I've seen so far I've really, really liked. Shaking hands with Marvel and producing the goods is a 'no brainer'. I know it may be easier said than done, but someone has to do it. Never really liked those sets that Diamond came out with and there's nothing 'Mego' at all about Sideshow.

I looked back on Mego Buzz and it was April 21, 2014 "Diamond announces 8" Marvel figures!" I was so excited I imagined a Spider-Man 8" wave starting things off with original Mego 8" Spider-Man, Peter Parker, Green Goblin, and Lizard! $25 each like FTC! Imagine the letdown when I saw the $80 Mego 8" Spidey w/ 2 more costumes/heads a Captain Action like SET! There were QC issues even on Captain America set which looked better. I passed on Wolverine. Now the next set Thor is not due until Nov/Dec 2015 and only 1 new set is to be shown at SDCC for 2016 obviously! Not frequent enough to compete with FLOOD of FTC Mego DC in 2015!

I was even thrilled with SDCC 2014 Sideshow announcement of its 1/6 Marvel figures but only Deadpool has been solicited since then for $230! OUCH! I heard on sideshowcollectors.com today that the line is going nowhere and Sideshow will forget it after SDCC 2015! At $200+ each I can see why!

I even supported Round 2 Captain Action Marvel costume sets and those are dead!

I hope DST EMCE Marvel sets are cancelled and Disney will re-evaluate license with FTC and even 1/6 scale since Sideshow did nothing with it. Even 1/4 Marvel scale like FTC 1/4 DC!

I just hate to see the Mego Marvel Universe going to waste. Now that Marvel has Secret Wars going and an All-New All Different Marvel Universe coming this Fall now is the time to strike!
