Ladies and Gentlemen, The World's Greatest Superheroes

[drmego]

I am lighting up a cigar now. Joe is in New York so our celebration
will have to wait until next week.

Will you be able to post pics of just the body Paul?

...sorry I was posting when you replied above. Guess I'll have to keep an eye on the news sites.

[drmego]

Oh, by the way - I wore my "Kneel before Zod" shirt for the panel,
just for my Mego Meet fans!

Art and Franco were sitting next to me at the panel. Mattel wanted
me sitting in the audience with a fake name tag so that the cat
wouldn't be out of the bag before the announcement.

The figures are now on display at the Mattel booth. I didn't bring a
camera but I'm sure someone will be posting high-res pics of them
this weekend.

I must make more room for what is to become!

Did you guys light cigars, Paul? This seems like a time to smoke cigars and slap each other on the back.

[Captain]

Yep, Lex and Sinestro are on Mego bodies....I guess I should rephrase that...they are on retro Doc Mego bodies!

[drmego]

Trust me friends - I compare every piece of the Mattel body to vintage Mego
and my drmego body. It is right in line.

In fact, Mattel did not have enough bodies for the line-up so I had to dress
one or two guys in a drmego body. Can you tell them apart?

WOWWWWW !!!!!!! WGSH and the appropriate Super Foes all in one wave??? AMAZING!!!! The day I see these at retail will be big flashback day to Kresge for me!! Thanks to all involved.

[megoscott]

That news on the package design is very interesting! I like the idea of making it look a bit old and worn. Bravo.

[palitoy]

Thanks for checking in Paul, this is truly your day sir.

[Werewolf]

WELL DONE Paul!! You really did it Man!! You ROCK!!!!!


Now we need some REALLY GOOD Pictures!!

Yeah, totally, congrats to all involved.

[cjefferys]

This is incredibly cool news. It's great that they will differ enough from original Megos, yet it's very encouraging to see that Mattel "gets it" when I hear things like retro style, faux aged cards, and making sure the sculpts are "Mego innocent" (I love that term ). I am so buying these for my son (and I) to play with. Great work guys!

[The Bat]

WELL DONE Paul!! You really did it Man!! You ROCK!!!!!


Now we need some REALLY GOOD Pictures!!

Toys R Us will be selling these, I think the Green Arrow is an exclusive.

Yeah, according to toynewsi, Green Arrow will be an exclusive pre-view figure for the line exclusively at Matty this Fall and the rest will be sold at TRU starting Feb/March 2010.

[drmego]

Now it can be told!!!!

I told you to have faith - the next several months will be full of good news!

It feels so good to finally be able to speak...er....write about this.
