I don't see how Target is going to get rid of Wave 1 & 2 peg warmers even at rock bottom prices.Comment

The head sculpt is fresh: Doesn't look like a carbon copy of other superheroes; somehow more unique-looking, IMO.

Being a fan of the Impractical Jokers, I think these figures will sell well, especially online. There are a lot of people that have never been exposed to Mego that are fans of this show (a younger crowd). I believe this is a line that will bring new life and a new demographic to Mego.Comment

Only thing about Aquaman in that photo: his feet look like those on a Seuss character

I'm not sure who Impractical Jokers are, and I'm not sure I get doing New52 versions NOW that New52 is a recent memory a lot of DC fans want to forget. I guess they felt like modern versions might have some play appeal? I was really wishing for Supergirl.
Although it's all exciting, I think I'm getting way pickier and choosier because the only ones I'll get are Farrah for the Angels set, and possibly Aquaman. A lot of the reissued variations on characters seem like a cheap way to keep producing the better sellers, whether it's to get them to buyers who missed out on the first version or to hook collectors who like variants. Me, it just comes down to what I have space for and like do I need 2 Spocks or 2 werewolves, yknow? But I'm happy that a lot of these do seem like they will sell well, even if I don't personally want them.Comment

As to why some of the reissues, I think those figures are likely to be evergreen sellers, so they want them out there outside of just Target distribution. My guess is there was some clause in the Target deal that they cannot re-release the exact same figures that Target had hence the variations on things like Bela, Werewolf, Romulan etc. and even the new52 versions of the DC Trinity and Joker. Since this is largely a transitional wave, moving from Target exclusives to products in mass market elsewhere in the US retail world and internationally. you want to have a good core assortment of your best stuff for those wider markets, hence some repetition of the best of the Target stuff with variants, but I hope moving forward we see more new figures in future waves. I get wanting to have your best sellers to offer to potential new retailers other than Target to make the line more appealing, but like MAry said, I only have so much room and budget and an hoping for more new figures. That said, I will likely still get the Hendrix variant and glow in the dark Frankie even though I have the Target releases.
