        It’s too hard to sculpt and I’m lazy.

            Lex looks like the Mattel Retro Action figure.
            You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

              The outfit is the same, the head is new.

                Actually, what I've noticed with the announcement of Wave 19 is that the original point has- very slowly- gotten lost somewhere along the way. This doesn't feel like the 50th Anniversary of anything, honestly. I understand that licensing the Marvel characters is (likely) cost prohibitive, but there's still a lot of original DC characters missing. All four Teen Titans, all five Super Gals, and yes, even Mxyzptlk​. Plus we've got nothing for POTA, almost nothing for Star Trek (technically, absolutely nothing as far as the original line is concerned), and Mad Monsters seems all but forgotten. In their stead, characters are already getting repeated i.e. the wrap-around cape Batman. I suppose you could technically also include the four Big Lots characters as repeats, but since people had such a hard time finding them it's almost like they didn't even exist to begin with.

                  Never even saw a whisper of the Big Lots figures. Oh well. I have a boxed Original style Mego set of the Fab Four as well as boxed ftc Mego style comic style and tv style. And I don’t really think of myself as a packaging collector
