      Pretty cool, the legs look a bit bowlegged tho.

        Very nice all around, the head and costuming look great, the cuffs seem a little big, as well as his boots, but I can live with that. The only thing that really bothers me are his legs, why so bow-legged? I hope they do something about that for future releases. I may have to switch out the body.

        Very much looking forward to the 15th.

              Finally!

              We've got a pic of the final product, and it's sweet.

              The legs can be fixed by reducing the size of the upper thighs. By using a more type2 leg, it would fix the slight imperfection. Otherwise, this is simply outstanding. I like the packaging too. THe card art made little sense without the figure inside. THe whole package is impressive.

                  That's damn impressive. I likes it!
                  You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                    The back of the card looks better with all the added info, but I still don't like the generic font for GA's name. But at least now I know why they did it. Because there's no room to do anything else, the card looks like it will be a lot shorter than a Mego card.
                    The legs don't bother me all that much. Sure, it looks a bit weird, but I'm glad we're getting more muscular, mor hero like, arms and legs

                      Seems to be Trek-card size and not WGSH-card size. The WGSH format would have allowed a little extra room above the bubble for the character logo.

                        Exactly. But I guess that cost too much

                        But hey, new Megos, that's all that matters, right?

                          Not necessarily....even though a WGSH is taller than a Trek card, a Trek card is wider than a WGSH, enough so that I think a Trek card ends up being slightly bigger than a WGSH card overall. But maybe they needed that extra room for all of that informational stuff on the back even though it was at the expense of the character's logo. That'd be my guess anyway.....

                            Holy bowed legs Batman! That is just wrong.
                            I HATE the arm bands! The bow is all wrong. The arrow should be up higher and the flights are somehow behind the bowstring. The card blows.

                            Everything else is awesome.

                            Won't stop me form getting one but to say I'm 100% happy would be a lie. The spirit of Mego is there but I'm a bit disappointed.

                            Excited but disappointed. Curious to see the rest!

                              Yes, I think they could have done the name on the package a little better but overall I think it looks great. It doesn't look that worn at all. I also think green arrow is fantastic. These are going to be a whole lot better than earlier tries at 8 inch DC Superheroes. Finally new megos. Hopefully a great start for our children's childhood of getting these as was ours. Thank You Doc, Thank you Mattel and Thank You Everyone Else that was involved.
