    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.

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

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

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

            Somebody posted card art from the back of the card on one of the FB groups. Copyright info there and/or the figure should tell if it officially Universal. Tho I can't see how they could use the Karloff art without having some sort of OK from the film studio.

              The new Gorn appears similar to Emce, but with better tailoring/coloring, and the addition of a red weapons belt.

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

                      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.

                        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 get it in a "keep continuity with Mego Aliens" way. A generic Mego knife in Trek Red instead of/with the phaser would be cool.

                              ^Yeah, I'd rather a better/more accurate weapon, but this is perfect in a Mego way. The color shift for the body is quite nice.
