Mego WGSH 50th at Walmart Updates

[Jase]

Found Superman, Batman, and Robin at the first Walmart I stopped at this morning. My order with Flash, Shazam, and Aquaman should be shipping in the next day or so from MoviePostersEtc, as they have everybody except Robin and Green Arrow in stock now.

For any Canadians watching, Red Planet will be carrying the 50th line, but they won't arrive at retail until January. Probably at Toys R Us.

I wondered who was distributing Mego in Canada since they’ve also been trickling into Walmart in the movie section. Has there been a press release from RPG confirming that they will be available? Amazon.ca only has the 50th Anniversary Flash up for preorder thé thé ASIN from the American site for thé others not being recognized

My Walmart out the pegs back up.

And someone on Facebook found a lone Superman, Batman and Robin at The Red Mill Walmart in Virginia Beach.

Great video! I tell ya, the return of Mego and their reissue of these iconic figures has got to be THE retro-nostalgia blast-from-the-past return-to-a-bygone-era fanboy moment of all time!

Looking forward to it, and wouldn’t it be cool if they decided to remake the alter ego’s?
I guess they couldn’t make a Peter Parker but still a Bruce, Dick and Clark would be sweet.

The Amazon Official Mego store shows them available on Dec. 7th.

Perfect timing for me, as I ordered these with the idea of paying for them with the birthday money I should receive on December 12th!

Mego already has some figures out there with the new bodies from recent waves. Batman Beyond, Quark and the Ghostbusters are the only examples I have picked up that use this new design. My understanding is there is already a newer corrected version of their bandless bodies that are slightly taller.

I do prefer bandless but the old type 2 still looks better to my eye. It’s something about the new hands, like they are too small for some characters. The ball joints at the shoulders are way too tight and the hip-to-torso solution not tight enough.

Cool to see these new versions of the classics, but I can no longer do preorders, especially Walmart. There is no reason for a preorder when every ebay seller will eventually beat original MSRP. Hopefully we’ll all get a shot at buying them in person or at least from reliable stores online.
