Ladies and Gentlemen, The World's Greatest Superheroes

[Earth 2 Chris]

That Batman is pretty good Dane. I'd like to see the perma-shadow on the cowl, ala the DCD 13" figure.

They could either go Adams or keep it New Look Silver Age like Infantino. Most of the merchandise at the time still had the 60s stock art.

And what about Robin? Will we get a new double curl sculpt, or more time-accurate parted hair style like Burt Ward?

I can't wait to find out!!!

Hello!

Andrew Covalt here, and I sculpted GL and Sinestro and tweaked Green Arrow and Superman. I wanted to wait for a few reviews to come in on the new sculpts before I made myself known.

I wanted to thank Paul and Joe for giving me the opportunity to sculpt new heads for our favorite heroes. I hope they are well received and we'll get to continue making more and more.

So I'm as excited as anybody! I'm still waiting for some really sharp pics too!

You did a Magnificent job on the Sculpts. You and everyone involved Rocks. I still can't believe it. This is so COOL

You know, you and I usually agree Chris...but God No...NOT INFANTINO!!!!! I hate him as much as Gene Colon!!

And I'm also hoping for NO Shadowing on the Cowl...it's just not needed!

And I'm also hoping for NO Shadowing on the Cowl...it's just not needed

I just hope it is made removable.

Ok...here's what I'm hoping he'll look like(or similar to). Troy Younger totally captures the 70's Neal Adams style Batman with this Sculpt(just Food for thought).

Agreed a Neal Adams or Aparo looking Batman with slightly larger ears and a better jaw line will be......AWESOME!!! The icing on the cake will be a R/C (Removable Cowl) version also.
Additionally, a Barry Allen Flash version just screams to be made for tier 2.

Ah, much petter pic of Sinestro. Thank you to whoever took the photo.

[pmwasson]

That Sinestro is really growing on me! He looks very sharp.

[huedell]

The Sinestro head sculpt/paintjob is killer---I'm a bit on the fence about
the cuffs (no section demarcation?) and the blue neck piece
(a bit odd of shape). As usual I'll wait until the actual product release
to really comment "officially".

More Pics!

We just got home from Comic-Con, and Chelsea and I are both happy and whoop-tired. Wanted to post some additional pics ASAP though, as this news is so MASSIVE and I know a lot of you are clamoring for more images of the forthcoming Mattel World's Greatest Super-Heroes line.

Let me preface by saying: These Prototypes were INCREDIBLY difficult to photograph. The figures were up on the top shelf, at least 8 feet in the air, and the display cabinets were glass — all around — causing horrible lighting from behind the display cabinets, which screwed up most photos.

Also, let me add that these hand-made (!) prototype are JAW-DROPPINGLY, INSANELY GORGEOUS... and intoxicating and exciting and overwhelming and perfect and joyful and magical. That said, here are my contributions to the often-sketchy picture pool of these INCREDIBLE WGSH PROTOTYPES (words I never thought I'd type):



























Above: A CosPlay Superman poses with his 8" brethren. Wait, that sounded weird...



Above: Me with the amazing Dr. Mego!

Any hesitation or doubts I had about these toys are GONE. I cannot wait for these toys to hit the shelves of my local Toys "R" Us!

-b
p.s. I enjoyed a long talk with Dr. Mego himself (shown above), Paul Clarke, and we were joined by none other than Ken Abrams. Even though we didn't think to get a photo of it, It was a magical Mego moment... one I'll always cherish.

[pmwasson]

Great pictures! Thanks for posting that. Must of been magical seeing a bit of Mego history being made.

I Love the Close-ups. I'm so excited about these Figures. There so Cool looking. I feel like a little kid everytime I think about them

I've been away for a few days and I come back to this (thanks for the warning Rik ). I just read this entire thread and am as axcited as anyone here. I can't wait for the day I can walk inside a toy store and pick these up in person.
Congrats to all involved and many many thanks. This truly is a golden age to be a Mego collector

Now you're frightening me!! But, Dracula is more his thing...than Superheroes.
