    DC/Marvel Superhero Balance

    I personally like to balance DC/Marvel in any collection if possible.
    I been moving on from many Classic TV Toys thinking that we really won't ever get a full take on Marvel.
    So I am looking forward to Two Face, Bizzaro, but really mostly Brainiac.

    Then the Talosian and Andorian but that's not superheroes....

    I wish there were some Marvel megos in the works. I like both DC & Marvel. Would love a new Hulk figure, Moon Knight, Black Panther Megos would be awesome.

      I wish they could do a 50 th anniv. Spiderman because he was the one that blew me away as a kid when I found him at a local toy store.

          It's 46 years later and still no The Incredible Hulk TV Series figures from any company, ever. I hope I don't go to my grave still counting the years lol.

            I never was either DC or Marvel in fact I was prob running on Mego fuel because Spidey Hulk Iron Man Lizard Thing my goodness this was Mego.
            I always wanted Brainiac so I am happy to get him. But even Nightwing seems like a stretch without Spidey :-(

              I would love a Lou Ferrigno Incredible Hulk figure, as I'm sure many would. I would also dearly love a Nicholas Hammond Spiderman. I assume the licensing required makes this unlikely.

                The licensing required makes any Marvel unlikely...

                  Seems strange since the Clearance sections seems full of Marvel these days from the Hasbro stuff.
                  Anyhow I purchased many of the "2nd tier" DC Heroes along the Classic TV Toys road and I don't even hold them nearly
                  as close as the main Heroes.

                  Without Marvel we might as well finish the Brady Bunch if you ask me :-)

                  What happened to the Supergirl wave anyhow?

                      Yes, my guess is No Disney/No Star Wars/No Marvel. Perhaps we'll learn more at MegoMeet.

                      I don't hold Hasbro in high esteem either, from completely abandoning 12" GI Joe to scuttling the 3.75 Kenner Retro line.
                      WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

                        The Mego/Hasbro collaboration would have been more profitable if it were Marvel and not G.I. Joe. Just imagine if it was a Spidey/Green Goblin two pack instead. Or Captain America/Red Skull. Or Thor/Loki. Those would have all sold very, very well.

                          How does a small toy company like Mezco have both Marvel and DC rights and make figures from both companies, and Mego can't. It's not like Hasbro is making 8"cloth retro figures . When Diamond did the Marvel sets and charged $80. 00
                          I would have rather paid for a Mego Spiderman 2 pack ( original and Black suit) than the one figure with 2 extra suits and heads. I would still pay $ 80.00 dollars for a Spiderman 2 pack even if it was 2 of the same Spiderman figures. Diamond gave a good try but even a 2 pack of Spiderman Mego's could have had a color variant( on the second figure), but either way now nobody makes Marvel Megos . The Diamond price of $80.00 turned people off and I had no use for the extra suits, and heads without a second body

                            If the license Hasbro is offering is the same as it was when Diamond Select made the EMCE Marvel sets, it’s for a collectable figure that retails for $80+. Mezco, Sideshow, Hot Toys, etc. all sell for way more than $80 so that license works for them in a way it doesn’t for Mego.
                            Expectation is the death of discovery.
