I think the Mego Nightwing is defined by its' simplicity. A onesie costume and some boots. Over the years, Nightwing's costume has been done with many style changes and tweaks. I tried to find the era that this costume best represents and I came up empty. So here is Mego's take on Nightwing.

If the suit was a bit tighter to the body, I think it would look better, but as is, it's fine. It's a case of another company re-using a head for Nightwing, so we still don't get that all-over-the-place Nightwing hair style. I love that he comes with escrima sticks too.
Something is off for me -- the re-used Robin head? The lack of tightness in the suit? The boots? -- but I cannot really place a finger on it. I think it's a nice figure that I will find a place for, but it's not a slam dunk for me.
EDIT: The knee did not feel like it was fixed on Nightwing. Not a lot of bend on mine.
Here is the Mego Nightwing with the FTC variant Nightwing, which sold out and wasn't an easy figure to get, so it's nice that others can get a Mego-style Nightwing. My FTC Nightwing is on a Type-S body with police batons from Dr. Mego.
