Great story , and glad you have fulfilled a dream with Cap, Between yourself and Paul see great things , and these waves are prime examples . There is tremendous detail on all these , and not an overwhelming amount to take away from what Mego's are. Joe you and paul are doing awesome , please keep it up as we will look to see future lines and even this one showing a lot of hard work ! Thanks again !

As a devotee of the Big Red Cheese, I'm thrillled by his retro-appearance.
I was hoping for Sivana--let's face it, he's a much more challenging custom than Black Adam.
But this wave looks great, and Adam probably has better shelf-appeal.

They look great, have there been photos of Wave 3 that I've missed? Never mind, I just spotted them above, duh!Last edited by bondtoddbond; Jul 23, '10, 5:01 PM.sigpic "It's like you're unravelling a big cable-knit sweater that someone keeps knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting..."Comment

I like everything I see, except the Sinestro variant
I know it's an exclusive (which I hate BTW), but this is ridiculous, releasing them so close together. They couldn't come up with another figure?"...The agony of my soul found vent in one loud, long and final scream of despair..." - Edgar Allan PoeComment

Really glad to see the prototypes of Shazam and Black Adam (glad they are going with him!). These look great! I am somewhat surprised that they are going with Darkseid and Martian Manhunter, I would have expected some other characters before these. Anyway they all look great...nice job!Comment

Shazam (Cap) and Black Adam are great looking figures. Personally, I think the yellow fits the retro theme better, and the Mego time period, especially since yellow was used on the TV show. But I think Alex Ross has redefined Captain Marvel's look as red and gold for all time.
I'm kind of sick of Black Adam, but I used to really dig him before he was in every 3rd issue of every DC comic, so having a Mego-like of him will be cool.
J'onn and Darkseid are interesting choices. Almost as if Mego hadn't went bankrupt, and developed the Super Powers line for DC.

I prefer yellow but that's a DC style guide decision and not Mattel, I'm glad that's my only gripe. I've wanted an 8" Black Adam for 25 years, so this one kind of rocks my world.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

I like these. I am thinking that all of these are going to get Zica bodies. Except Darkseid. I heard somewhere he may be a standard figure with a padded suit. If so, I would love to see how it would work on one of Doc's new large bodies.Comment

Scott's pics. On closer look, his face is quite cartoony compared to the Mego. I was kind of hoping for more of the squint. Looks like it can be "fixed" to my liking by painting it in.
This is certainly an old school Black Adam!
The costume is great. Looks like they got the cape right.

Namor custom anyone? Vulcan or Romulan perhaps?

One thing I'm really happy about is the fact that they didn't mix and match the comic book yellow and the gold.
Whether they go all gold or all yellow, I would prefer consistency on the figure.Comment
