    I love the big boots and especially remember that aspect about Megos as a kid.

    Does Two Face come with a coin? I didn't see one in the photos...

        A coin wouldn't be very exciting for me anyway... I want the pack-ins to be mego scale and figure useable... a pack in coin would leave two-face flipping a frisbee.

        The heads, suits, etc look great. I can't wait to swap these out to T2.

          I thought they were going to change how they strung the bodies up?!? Like I said this line is doomed. Only die hards will shell out this type of money for junk bodies. They look cool but are on big POS plastic broke bodies.

            Doc Mego gets the ball rolling for Mattel to release Mego - like figures.
            Doc Mego sells replacement bodies for mego - like figures.
            Mattel releases figures with garbage un-useable bodies.
            Doc Mego sells replacement bodies for mego - like figures.
            Does this sounds like a scam.
            This plan may have worked.....had it not been for CAST A WAY TOYS to come along with an better replacement body.........maybe I'm wrong.
            How you could even think this is beyond me, let alone actually post it

              I like Batman, I really do. I'm glad to see that thong pic was just a bad pic. I really like the gauntlets and I don't mind that sli in the back of the cowl. Hell, I even like the cowl.
              But the body on Aquaman is a wreck. Wow, how Mattel can still say the bodies have no issues, so they won't be fixed baffles me

                Thanks for posting these Pics Dude! As suspected...Aquaman is indeed the BEST of the bunch! Twoface: kinds bummed about the Face change color, so I'll have to do some painting(no biggie). Manta looks cool...but I'm not a Fan.

                Batman...my opinion remains unchanged. The Costume however is usable for Customs...and the Mask will make a great "Cat Toy".

                  The pictures are great and thanks for opening them for all to see as well. I'm just glad they're making these period. I know we all could make better figures, but we're not. Let's just enjoy these for what they are, Mego-Like. Remember there are no new Megos.

                    Great pics! Thanks. Hmmmm. I'll break it down by figure:

                    Aquaman - With the original fix offered from wave one (with the tubing in the mid section) I think this figure will be awesome. Much, much, better looking in those shots than the others I have seen. I don't even have issues with the face anymore.Two thumbs up.

                    Two-Face - Wow. The loose shots of that figure are bad arse. Very, very nice. I wonder if this figure won't be the one that is toughest to get. Thanks to Bizzaro Megomauler's great shots, I can appreciate the head sculpt even more. That's sweet. Two Thumbs up.

                    Black Manta - Another good figure. Looks like it just needs the tubing fix and you have a classic figure for your Mego collection. Cool sculpt and overall good design. Another two thumbs up.

                    Batman - Okay. I like the cowl better in those shots. Bizzaro makes a great argument for fixing the "boxy" feel of the neck piece with a simple adjustment of the cape. That helped it. I agree with Anthony though. The slit in the back of the cowl is something of a distraction here. Yes, who displays their figures from the back (no one), but I guess they felt that a slit was the necessary evil to complete the closed neck look in the front. The Mego cowl definitely wins here. The Bruce Wayne sculpt looks much, much better in it's final form than the painted prototype. Yeah, I know it's the same sculpt, but the rubber cast reads better. My main reserve here is whether the tubing will fix the figure. He still looks like he has a Bat-wedgy, so I was hoping with a little costume maneuvering, that could be fixed. Doesn't appear so from the shots.

                    Well, overall I'm pleasantly surprised. Hey Bizzaro any chance you could take a shot of the cowl off the head? Is it just like the Mego cowl in terms of flexibility? Or is it more rigid and less pliable?

                      also from these new shots, the ears on batman look more pointy, no?

                              No problem Anthony. "Boy Wonder" has his head so far up my a*s, I can't understand what he says anyway...
