    they were swooning over them, and just finished the display as I arrived, Is there such a thing as "Too many mego conversations"? I think not! They have the wave 1 and 2 side by side. when there are a few more waves, the displays will be bright and awesome! wave 3 needs to be green in color, or blue though to get a spectrum effect!

    I Too picked these up from Amok Time today. figures are cute....the kids luv'em. The bodies are back with their Weeble Wooble feel and look to them. However, the costumes and the heads look pretty good. Thanks Doc
    P.S. Amok time has the entire Wave 2 set for $84.99.....They threw in a 2nd Batman for a lower price. Bruce Wayne looks like a younger Sean Connery 007. The cowl is Cool (not a big fan of the slit though).... But Hey!, You have to make the best of what you have.......I'm off to commence my customs.

    Whoa! What an awesome sight! 2 waves of Mego-like figures on the rack where folks can admire and buy them! I hope my local comic shop has these!

    while I do understand some of the disapointment on the bodies . . . . it cracks me up reading the criticism of these figures. To think that there would be true mego inspired superhero figures is a DREAM COME TRUE! let alone wide spread production of multiple figures in this format.
    Again, everyone is entitled to their opinions but I just think some can't see the forest through the trees . . . a sad state indeed, that's my opinion

    who will be seriously stoked when his box from AMOK TIME lands this week!

    Bizarro Megomauler,

    Thank you so much for the pics--I was going to wait to see them at TRU, but after seeing your great photos I decided to go ahead and order them all!

    Batman seems to look a lot better in real life than he did in those old prototype pictures.

    I think it will be a popular figure.

    Two-Face is an amazing-looking figure. Very nice! I'm not really into any DC characters apart from Batman, and the Batman figure looks pretty nice to me. He'll likely be the only one from these I get. I really like the head sculpt. The mask is a little funky, but not out of character for the styling of the toy. The big boots don't bug me.

    That said, I really don't like Mattel's body, with its massive thighs and uncomfortable looking stance. If it won't ruin the costume and insignia, I'd swap it for a Zica body or something. Mattel really made a bad decision with those. I'd also rather have bigger glove hands or fists, which I'd probably add on my own to the figure. But no problem there with the normal blue hands. The universal part usage is understandable.

    In the end, though, $20-$25 if far beyond what this very casual, undedicated collector will pay. $15 is my price point on something like this. But that's just me not really being into many super-heroes. (That's a fine price point for Trek or POTA or whatever in my book. Just typically not super heroes or me.)

    green hand

    I have that complaint too - the prototype had a green hand to
    match the face color.

    Amok Time - the store here on Long Island that they have arrived at - gets
    them direct from Mattel. He had a problem getting his wave 1 figures,
    so he might have gotten preference on wave 2.

    I see auctions on ebay from sellers in California
    so I guess the ship is being unloaded and trucked out.

    TRU should be receiving their shipment now - I have no idea
    how fast they can distribute to the stores.

    Knowing the way Diamond Distribution is with the Comic Stores...I would keep an eye on Toys R Us. Diamond is notorious for getting things to the stores later than a regular toy store like Toys R Us. It will also be cheaper at Toys R Us.

    Pics look great. The bodies aren't perfect, but the rest of the figures all look great.
