    The Electrifying Debut of…Electro!

    IMG_0859.jpg IMG_0860.jpg IMG_0861.jpg IMG_0862.jpg

    Here is Electro, the new character offering from the set. Right off the bat, Electro has a fantastic head sculpt which hits the sweet spot of being both modern and yet working as something Mego could have made back in the day. This head sculpt is perfect. A slight ding against it is that it is too tall for the box and consequently the lightning bolt is bent down against his head. I’m hoping that just having it out of the box will enable it to regain its shape. The suit it nicely done, especially the lightning bolts on the gauntlets. He comes with the standard Mego boots, I kind of like the streamlined look with them off. All in all, this is a great addition to the Marvel Mego lineup.

        Interesting - with or without boots

          Maybe some warm water, a hair dryer, or a light setting on a heat gun would help you straighten out the bolt on his head.

          He's a great looking figure. I think he carries on that later Marvel aesthetic of Conan and Thor really well. I hope more people get a chance to own one.

            Thank you for the kind words Krypt0nite! I didn’t think Electro would have issues fitting in the packaging, but I guess he did. I think Earth2Chris is right, warming the head to make it pliable and letting it cool in position will probably work.

            Thank you for your photos also!

                  I wonder why they didn’t use an insert like the Firestorm figure?

                    That really looks well done. Can't wait to see other new offerings. Thanks for sharing pics.
