    Disney Mego 50th & DST Spider-Men

    I finally started to open my Disney Spider-Man Themed Set. For those interested in comparisons, here is the DST Spider-Man and the Disney Mego Spider-Man:

    DST vs Mego 50th Spider-Man.jpg

    I didn't expect these to be so different, besides the costume.

    Mego has a softer head mold. The shape of the head might a little different too. There is a striking difference in the body types as well, beyond just Mego being taller. The DST suit is shiner, although, the picture makes it even shinier looking because of the light reflection. Mego's suit is matte.

    It's an interesting contrast in what is supposed to be basically the same figure, or at least, paying homage to the same figure (minus the circle around the spider). The DST head and body remind me more of the Mego Spider-Man I had as a kid, but that was sooooooo long ago, who knows how it compares without having an original Mego side-by-side. It's still a nice figure that I am happy to have, as Spider-Man was one of favorite Megos and maybe my most played with one too.

    And here is a picture of Disney Spidey with the rest of my Marvel Super-Hero Mego type figures, a mix of DST and customs (and a FTC Stan Lee lurking in the background). No boots helps with the height of the other DST figures, like Thor (pardon the dried up dust!).

        Thanks! I need to fix the '4' a little, but I had been wanting to make that costume look for a while.

          This post is a mess and I cannot delete or remove the link!

          Anyway, in the Mego Ambassadors group on Facebook, there is a post that shows the Original, DST EMCE and Disney 50th Spider-Mans.
