Mego 50th Deadman (Wave 18)

[thatblockoguy]

I’ve opened about 10 figures from the new wave with no issues. I had one figure with an elbow that wouldn’t budge, but a minute or two under hot tap water and it loosened right up. I’m pretty meticulous about feeling which way the joint is supposed to go before I try to move anything. Worked so far.

Good to hear. I guess your mileage will vary on these.

When this wave was announced I thought Deadman would be a definite pass for me. I just don't care a lot about the character. But everything from this wave just turned out so great that I had to get Deadman too (and Bizarro, and Brainiac ...). And what do you know - I really love this figure in hand. It's another perfect sculpt, even better than in the photos. He has these hollow cheeks that work really well and which I didn't even notice in the pics. Yeah, I'm really happy with this guy and with this whole wave. The issues with the body joints are the only flaw I can see. But I'm sure Mego can work this out. From what I've seen they've already managed to eliminate the dreaded 'Schlorp' - where one eye or rather one half of the face is drooping. I'm certainly glad they resolved that issue!

Finally got Deadman from the 50th Anniversary line. I prefer to buy in the wild, but our local Walmarts never got this wave, so I finally broke down and got this one via Amazon when I saw it was on sale earlier this week.

Are you an opener or do you your Megos them MIB? If you open it please post if the knee joints are sturdy on yours or fragile snappable ?

With the boxes I am leaving them in box. I have a spinner rack that I got from stationary store that was going out of business and the boxes display well on that. The stuff on blisters I mostly open and display that way though. So I have not opened Deadman or any of the 50th Anniversary boxes.

This is the rack I speak of, but pic was taken before Deadman arrived, so he is not in the pic.

You’re right, they look great on that rack!
