    So My 6 Year-Old Is Playing With Retro-Action Superman...

    ... and he's posing him. Then he says to me, as Superman goes into "wilt mode" with his lower half jutting out, "Look dad, he looks like he's taking a leak!" I thought it was funny!

    There are times like that that I wish I had a kid! Would love to pass the love of Mego to him.

      It's awesome. He really genuinely loves these Mego-style "guys" (he calls them). He actually asked if he could see pics of other ones and Megos as well, in the gallery. He was clicking on every character he could find to see photos! I'm happy he likes them so much. If they were $10 I'd buy him a lot more.

        Well, you could go the Doc Mego/CTVT route and kitbash some stuff for your kid. Then you could still share the Mego love, and he'd have his guys, cheap.

        If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

          You can definitely hit knights and pirates that way. And if your 6yo is like my 6yo - knights and pirates are IT!!!

          .... superheroes are cool too; but if they are super pirate knight heroes.... ZAM!!!!

            Well, I brought this up b/c he said his kid was playing w/ a Superman figure. Between CTVT and Doc Mego, you can fashion other superheroes your kid can play w/ and not spend an arm and a leg and get upset when it gets broken.

                "Guys" is what I called them when I was a kid.
