Mego 50th Firestorm (Wave 18)

That’s fantastic! I’m glad to see that the symbol is not just a silk screen. I have gone back and forth on whether or not to double dip on Firestorm, and I am definitely going to get this one.

Firestorm was one of the new Mego figures I was really looking forward to getting. I always loved Firestorm; he is like DC's version of Jack Of Hearts as far as the wonderfully different costume designs. After opening Firestorm, I would say that he did not disappoint at all.

Let's start with that head sculpt. Magnificent! From that large fire 'hair', the detail in the face the red containments parts (is that what that is?), this is one of my favorite head sculpts.

The costume looks great. The tailoring is great, from the shoulder flares to the fit on the body. I am starting to come around on the fabric gauntlets for gloves; they look good here. And the chest design is not a simple silk screen, and it looks better because of that. Of course, I have to point out the lack of puffy sleeves. I am not disappointed he does not have them, but that would have made a great looking figure that much better.

Here is the Mego Firestorm and the FTC Firestorm, another figure that sold out and did not return. FTC Firestorm has been put onto a Type-S body.

These are such different interpretations of the same character and I love it! I consider FTC Firestorm more of a 1st Appearance Firestorm, while Mego is more like a Fury of Firestorm version. Good stuff all around!
