Don't turn this into a complaint thread

[MegoMark71]

So after several trips to my local toysrus "100" miles round trip" and finding nothing. Last time i couldn't even find a spot where they were. So i ordered them online. Paid 95 bucks with shipping so not much more than if i bought them retail. I just really wanted to buy them off the shelf.
So i am so happy to see all the new 8 inch figures. And please i don't want this to be a complaint post but what the heck happened to the figures waist? How did this even get to production? I love my new superman but he either looks pregnant or like someone kicked in his stomach. I have seen a little but is this one of the corrections they are making. Honestly guys i don't know if i would buy another like this. I am already looking to put everything on a vintage body. Does anyone know what i have to do to transfer the head?
And again i love the fact that we are getting all this retro goodness so i don't want to come off as being ****y. Just they are 20 bucks a pop.

1ST of all ...., I dunno if you can start a Thread like this ..., then Complain, then expect others not to do so as well.


2nd of all ...., go read all the other Threads on the Subject ..., then I think most if not all of your questions will be answered.

bro what happened to the waist on those figures? j/k

[jimsmegos]

What's funny to me is that I was comparing the new bodies to an old MOTU female body and they are really similar in the over all legs, nips and chest area. I made the joke before but just recently observed this in the flesh. I think it may just be a Mattel thing.

A waist is a terrible thing to mind.

I think "possibly" Mattel may have already fixed the issue. I have seven figures total, one each of the five characters plus the variants of Lex Luthor and Green Lantern, and they all stand up perfectly straight.

I just CAN'T be that lucky.

Mine are all over the place, and I have multiples of each. Some stand & pose, some don't. Discouraging, but they still look nice.

I have collector friends who aren't into Mego, and they each said when they saw retro-Mattel, "Cool, new Megos."

If Mattel will just do the tweaking they've promised, we should end up with some great stuff...

Otherwise, Doc & Castaway are gonna be cleaning up!

I just bought Lex Luthor (stitched, yay!) and Sinestro on Ebay from a single seller for $27.53 shipped. Both MOC. Just $13.77 each.

Your right BK....when it comes down to it. We have new Megossssssssssssss and I'm happy.

I believe you should say what's on your mind.

Mattel is aware of the issue with the bodies and will fix it.

Excellent! Can't wait to see what they come up with.

Today i went to toysrus and had my wish fulfilled. There was 3 spots for them and 6 of each. I picked through them carefully as some had the bad waist and some just looked safe in the package. So i bought 4 more and bought them at retail. Sigh it was so cool when i saw them hanging. for a brief moment i was 9 again. that was why i didn't want to come off wrong. Your right it was what was on my mind. And thanks again.
