    Yeah, I saw that. Hard as heck to read. It does look like it says "official license" and as you said, it would be impossible to use Karloff without it.

    So the missing neck bolts is either a production err or necessity? Maybe because the head is vinyl combined with the plug reversal caused a tearing issue?

    I'm not even a big Superman fan, and I want one. Looks great!

    If Mego Corp. does Aquaman or Shazam!--WOW!!


    Agreed! And same here...while I like Superman quite a bit, I’ve never been fascinated by him like I have with other heroes. So, my singling out a Superman figure isn’t something I’d typically do.

    Ah! Wave 2 won you over and you are circling back now? Should still have an easy time finding them!

    red phaser and communicator so that the Metrons can take it away, right?

    For those that have seen the Gorn: Is it the same as the EMCE Gorn from several years ago? That one was great.

    If not how are they getting around it? Looks pretty much like the Universal version, the clip art sure looks like it too.

    I know, a $15 Mego is cheap, I'm just talking about the finished end product and how it looks.
    Yea, I'll admit the broadcloth jacket surprised me. But this is typically what FTC uses, too.

    The Superman and Batgirl look great! It seems from the one pic that they fixed the giraffe neck issue from wave 1.

    Good question! Surprised not to see the Universal stuff all over it if it is. And I can't spot the neck bolts in the photo but it can be hard to see. Would be kinda wild if it wasn't licensed and they're essentially using the same sculpt as their licensed one had. Guess we need more pics to know.
