Wave two let the sightings begin...

[CrimsonGhost]

The body is sad. The legs look incredibly stupid. Pigeon-toed superheroes! Ugh.

You realize, of course, that there is a rotation joint at the ankle, something original Mego's didn't have, and can be posed to NOT be pigeon toed? He just didn't do it for the photographs.

The thing I can't wait for is SDCC so there will be new prototypes to ***** about.

Nerd rage at its finest.

This coming from an old lady on the same toy board who took time to respond. Hope you feel better about yourself. And yes I am a nerd and proud of it!

Just assumed since doc was involved that they would be fixed by his own statement. And for all those who say we shouldn't complain I say your an idiot for not. Christ, look at Aquaman! His hip isn't straight. Black Manta can't even stand the guy said!! They are toys, and your 40 year olds buying them. Stop using that argument that they are just toys. How many figures are priced at 20 bucks and don't function as they should. None. You guys who think these are great sound like cult followers. Your the reason Mattel doesn't give a flying F and won't fix them. So keep buying these broken toys and spend another 15 to fix them. You'll at least keep the economy going.

Where did you hear (read) that the bodies would be fixed?

I still wish - that when the wave 2 figures arrive in stores - the bodies are
strung together better. That doesn't require making new steel like the
"thunder thighs" - just instructing the assembly workers.

And Meule - I think I take criticism pretty well. Given the fact that I have
been on the receiving end of it for more than ten years on this forum - and
have never called anyone a bad name - speaks to my thick hide.

...And to all the sarcastic posters on this thread...if you don't like them, don't buy them. The one thing I don't get with all the sarcasm and hating is this...if you were to make your own customs of these figures...it would cost you A LOT!!! more than $20. Just be thankful that the stuff is already made for you and you can kitbash for $20. I don't understand the *****ing and Complaining. THEY ARE NOT MEGOS...and the will NEVER BE MEGOS. We all get that. Live with it and move on. IT'S A TOY!!!!

It simply can not be stated any better than that!

$25.00 figures.

price increase???????????????????????????

[Raydeen1]

Well after seeing Batman, I like the mask though it need a black stripe on the nose. I like the belt which is simply a copy of the Mego version. I like the Bruce head. I like the elastic on the cape collar.

The boots look like he's wearing FC boots.
The glove cuffs are horrible and cheap looking not to mention the fact he doesn't come with any accessories, thus negating the whole reason for them in the first place..
I would've preferred blue trunks.
WHY is the cape not stitched???????? Looks like they'll get the old cape fray.
The body is sad. The legs look incredibly stupid. Pigeon-toed superheroes! Ugh.

These are NOT $25.00 figures. I will get my boys and I a couple of Batmans but until they fix some issues, I won't buy anymore. The dollar amount just doesn't justify it.

Thanks for the extra pics of the cowl Bizzaro. It does give me a customizing idea...

My sentiments exactly! Well said! I'm gonna check out Dr. Comics & Mr. Games next week and see if these are there.

[bizzaro megomauler]

aw yes!...thanks bizzaro megomauler for the Batman pics with the uniform off. The Cowl looks better with the cape around the bottom of the cowl!

I always thought that's how the designers of the Mego one intended it to be. It looks less like a bat helmet.

[wayne foundation 07]

thanks for the pics,look like I'll be heading to TRU on Monday.

[wayne foundation 07]

Since I'll probably be getting these at TRU and opening them, I wonder what would happen if after I checked out opened them right there and see if they stand and if not keep picking out new ones and opening then till I get a product that's not broken.

I bet they would nicely ask you to leave the store and not come back

That's a really nice picture. I thought with the first pic of Aquaman that I wasn't gonna pic him up...but he looks a lot better than the proto. I like what you did with the cowl by putting it under the cape. I still thing I may just cut away the bottom part under the chin when I get mine. The Bruce sculpt really has grown on me...and stupid me, I just realized that the cowls eyes are solid white to make it look like there are no eyes. Still gonna switch them over to Type 2 Bodies though.

[bizzaro megomauler]

are these destined to be Joker and Penguin shoes???


The cowl is made of the same material as the boots....pretty sturdy. and yes cape is removable too. Upon closer examination, the same belt traits (glue and taghang are on bat's belt as well. I put the cape on the way I like it OVER the neck piece. I was asked to compare to an original RM bats, and can honestly say I never held a real one in my hands!



time to get another glass case....
