Ladies and Gentlemen, The World's Greatest Superheroes

[levyguy]

Definitely have another fan of their company here... have ordered from them many times in the past (and just added the WGSH pre-order right now!)

I just pre-ordered the WGSH Superman from them too!

I guess this is the closest we will get to ghosbusting:

MattyCollector.com Online Store - 12 Ray Stanz™ Figure

Brings up a good question Mattel looks like they are also lauching a 12" line like this and the Masterpiece Superman stuff. I wonder where the line gets drawn between 12" and 8". I would have been thrilled to see these ghostbusters as 8" at 40.00 a pop with the electric packs rather than 12" etc.

Sorry of subject, but those look amazing!!

Has anyone ever ordered from the Big Bad Toy Store? I'm up in Canada and not taking any chances on our local Toys R Us.

I have. Good outfit. I have not had any problems with them on any orders to date.

I was very happy to find the WGSH's up for pre-order from Big Bad Toy Store today. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/m...&category=5939.

If there's one on-line store advertising and taking pre-orders already, there must be others!!!!

Was just coming over to post that. You're fast. Maybe we should get some people to split the case to get the better prices.

I visited Mattel last week and saw a sample of the packaging.
The "weathering" is very minor and will not be an issue.
If you didn't look for it, you wouldn't notice it.

COOL news Paul...can't wait to see it!!

I can see your point Benjamin. As a graphic designer, the idea of creating a weathered, worn packaging design for toy retail seems somewhat out there for any mass market toy line, but I think it's a valid way to go with this one. Clearly these are designed to have the same naive charm Megos have, and not just be in a similar size and material format like FC and Hasbro 9" before them.

But part of me laments that we won't see vibrant, popping colors and a truly updated look at what Mego would have advanced to if they'd kept going, pacakge-wise.

But I will reserve judgment until I see them in person. I'm far too jazzed about this to let it get me down any.

Ghostbusters?

Mego

Mego Ghostbusters? Well maybe after every Superhero possibility has been made. Just kidding. Mego Ghostbusters would be great. I hope they make another movie. With that said, any new announcements concerning the WGSH line ?

[zeedox]

With that MattyColletor list I just have to ask...

What are the chances of Mego Ghostbusters!

[ODBJBG]

Do we need to worry about this possibility? What is the best tactic to use to try to minimize this?

Xavier aka Gremlin pretty much everywhere.

Honestly, I don't think we have to worry about it selling out super quick. While excitment is huge here, I haven't seen nearly the same level of enthusiam on other toy boards.

That said, the best way to get the MattyCollector figures is to... Be on the website when they go on sale. I know, it sounds almost silly, but that's all you can do. Be there, be quick, place your order.

Thus far only He-Man figures have sold out in under an hour though, with most everything else hanging around days, weeks, months.

[Gremlin517]

Really looking forward to these. I really hope I can get a Green Arrow. I am going to very sad if it sells out on me.
