    How do you want to see the Re-Mego Shazam portrayed?

    That is to say, Captain Marvel (not the old Wizard)

    Old School Mego look? CC Beck style including Perm and Squint? Evocative of 70's Live Action Captain Marvel (and if so, which one)?

    Cape coming out the back attached to the leotard like Superman? or the half-tie over the shoulder look?

    Yellow canvas material with collar cape like the origianl Mego? Or white with yellow trim and "flowers"/tassles (whatever you want to call those embellishments?

    One solid leotard or the button-up top?

    Four Colour Comic Book Yellow or "Gold" accessories and lightning bolt symbol (like Alex Ross paints them)?

    How about Mary and Junior? Teen Titans body or full sized?

    Mary in red or white? (or black if that is your inclination)

    CC Beck squinting style, cape over shoulder, four color paints, and if they do Mary (in white) & Freddy, Titan-sized, Mary in white so that she has more of an individual look while the lightning bolt symbol unites them as a "family".

    BTW It was obscene utterly wrong of Eaglemoss, the UK outfit that does the lead figures, to put Mary in black.

      Same as The 13 DC Deluxe one except looking more like C.C Becks version.

        I'm a huge Marvel Family fan & thought Mego did a great job of making him look like a real person; it's one of my favorite sculpts--perhaps the best of the DC WGSH males in my opinion.

        That said, however, I'd like to see Mattel do a better costume: Proper cape, buttoned tunic, cuffed boots. Gold is a cool idea.

        Many customizers here have posted "corrected" Shazam!s and small changes, as with Capt. America, make a big difference...
        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.

          This was the one that bugged me the most as kid. The Mego version just never looked like the comic version.

            I'd really like to see the sculpt capture the Beck look, and the costume echo what was done by Beck, Ordway and the movie serial.

              Animated style with the squint. Do CM, CM Jr on a titans sized body, Mary and Black Adam, with a white dress variant version of Mary either as a Matty.com exclusive or as a randomly inserted retail piece. I'm not as opposed to variants as some are. Especially if they make enough to keep the reasonable price range on the after market. They could also do a Billy Batson "Alter Ego" figure if they needed an exclusive for the SDCC or something like that. Once the teen body is done that would be a piece of cake to do.
              It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                      If they can make him look like he does in Justice League Unlimited I'd like that. I've never owned a Shazam figure in my whole life. I noticed that recently.

                      I don't care if they make Jr. but I'd like to see Mary in the white. She looks good that way.

                        Wow! My preference is for Mary in white, and I thought I'd be in the minority. It was a good look to differentiate her from The Big Red Cheese, and not out of place given Jr in Blue and Adam in Black.

                          My only exposure as a kid to Shazam was the live action series. So even though John Davey was a better actor, Jackson Bostwick was the more handsome of the two, so I vote w/ him.

                          Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic

                            Basically a lot like the original mego--but just made better!

                              Maybe make a head sculpt of Fred MacMurray? This way it could be based off of CC Beck's design but look less cartoon-y and more in line with the other sculpts? I would love to see a Billy figure paired up with a Captain Marvel, maybe coming with a little Mr. Mind accessory.
                              It's all good!
