I'm new to these boards. After stumbling upon the new Retro toys at a local store, I wanted to talk to someone about my great find. My family and immediate good budies weren't that enthusiastic...so I found this website.
Anyway, like all of you, I'm thrilled, thrilled to see these new toys. There great. So very happy to be able to buy a Mego(ish) Superman.
Like some of you, I have a few minor complaints...feel of the body in particular...but I don't want to sound "ungrateful". To have a Mego figure in my hands again makes any minor complaints seem small in comparison.
Oh, yeah. And the price. I'd almost wish they were more cookie-cutter if the price was cheaper or if they made more characters.
- How did this line come together? How did it happen? I've been looking for some info...but all I found was "a major annoucement" would happen at a convention and then of course the annoucement came.
- I understand that the original Mego creators are not directly involved but gave teh project their blessings. I would hope they'd get a piece of the profits because without their original vision we wouldn't have these kind of toys.
- I've seen Mego-ish knock-offs in the past...Marvel had done them a few years back with a few of their characters...I wonder why those didn't take off and these seem to be a hit.
- I think its a great idea to for the waves to be a hero and villain and another hero and their villain. Good business decision. Instead of just having 4 heroes.
- Is there any way we'll see a Batmobile or a Batcave? Have they hinted that could be in the works...or is that unlikely?
- I wonder how these became Toys R Us exclusives as opposed to just being sold primarily to comic book stores and online.
-How come these figures are so pricey? Is it because the quantities they are going to sell relatively low and the costs per figure are relatively high? $30 for Lex Luthor? Bit high. Makes me less likely to get every villain.
I have more questions...but...am really so happy and thrilled and stoked to see these toys.
Big thanks to the folks who made them.
