Prototypes and Announcements

Smile or No Smile!

Either way Bats is gonna be a mess if they keep stringing the bodies this way....Wave 1 and GA are a mess.... They need to check the excitement and address the poor construction.

The henchman neck plug look pretty long. I wonder if its to fit a new body type?

It's a prototype, they said the final sculpt will have a shorter neck plug

Wave 2 will have corrected bodies, Doc said, but I don't know what exactly they'll do to them

We have a conference call with Mattel each week. Now that I have received my
wave 1 figures, I can discuss the production realities on the call.

As one of our distinguished posters here pointed out - factual, polite comments
are taken more seriously than cries of horror.

Much easier said than done after waiting twenty years for new megos. Not to mention after spending hundreds of bucks on stuff to support the Retro line

Would it make a difference if you showed them the figures on your EMCE bodies? To show what a difference that pelvis makes

Thanks Doc!

I still can't believe I bought fricking brand new Mego DC Superheroes!!! I'm sure you can work with Mattel to make them even better. Keep up the good work!

Said as clear as can be. These guys have been dissected and over dissected. Some people are just so negative and impatient It's unbelievable.

[Megosaurus]

Negative or realistic. How much have you spent on the retro action collection so far. How many people are in the habit of buying a defective product? Own a Toyota maybe? It would be wonderful to give a positive review if it were warranted. Just because we all love mego's doesn't mean that a substandard product is better than no product at all. Will Mattel and Emcee refund the money spent on wave 1 or GA? I highly doubt it.

My body

Lex Luthor and Sinestro prototypes were on EMCE/drmego bodies because
I didn't have enough pre-production Mattel bodies for everyone in wave 1.
The guys at Mattel had several of my bodies for reference - they chose
to go with a smaller pelvis.

I will give my feedback at every opportunity, but if the management
of Mattel considers wave 1 production to be perfect, I doubt my
comments will change that perception.

That would have to be me.. yaaaaah Doc!

While bumps in the road are common, it's always best to keep ones cool to complete any journey. All we want are great representation of the old MEGO style figure. With some sound advice, and direction, Mattel can maybe resolve some of these early issues that have become evident problems.

I understand that, but that was before they were released and before customers started complaining about the pelvis. I would think Mattel would take all those complaints into account, it would be the smart thing to do.

[Orlock]

I'd just be happy if I could find any in my area and didn't have to pay scalper's prices for them online.

Considering I had to wrap Supes and GL in electrical tape around the waist so they would stop with the naseua stance, I would hope Mattel sees the obvious..

[Megosaurus]

I don't think they do care... because obviously Wave 1 is finished. Apparently there are no running changes being made. Either all released figures up until wave 2 will need to be released on better bodies or consumers who bought in good faith will have to spend more just to make a decent figure. Plus there is no assurance that the leg situation will actually be fixed.
