    actually no, it's on a matt-go body with a padded suit. he is indeed the same height as the other characters, and none of us can do anything about that.

    Sorry! I thought in an earlier post, it was said that the proto was on a Hulk. My bad!
    Expectation is the death of discovery.

      Y'know, that's an excellent point...they're ALL 8" tall no matter what...as much as it sounds like I'm stating the obvious -- given that we are talking about TOYS here, and not world events or curing cancer -- but a little willing suspension of disbelief is in order when it comes to these guys to begin with, yes?
      I have a huge collection of DC and Marvel Megos custom made by
      multiple customizers...if they are not on 8 inch bodies it's only cause
      I fought tooth & nail w/the customizer and "lost the battle" so to speak...

      My stance in this is that I essentially want figures that resemble
      choices that Mego made...and to me that means using an inch body
      whenever possible...even on characters that are obviously out of scale.

      This line is "win some/lose some" with it's audience because obviously you
      can't please everybody....well, when it comes to the decision on padding out
      an 8 inch figure for DARKSEID, it's total "win" for me I'm pleased to say.

        Don't worry, I probably wasn't clear...I said that we did dress a Hulk body at the shop strictly for comparison but the final proto was on a Matt-Go body and padded suit.

          Wanted to bump this...maybe it'll settle once and for all if/that DARKY is
          gonna have some padding-type aspects... but he ain't an all-out plush toy
          now... is he? The proto-figure certainly don't look all that cushy to moi.

            I just hope the gloves are part of the arms and don't come off...and that the bottom (fist) area is plastic like all the other characters. I hope Penguin and Solomon Grundy are done the same way then to be consistent.
