    You should take the netting off the hair, it looks so much better without it.
    I took mine off and the hair goes past the shoulders and she looks great.

    Got my order in from BBTS yesterday. The kids were playing with them like they had never seen Megos before Part of that was that my daughter now had some more female characters to play with. With WW we took the hair net off and cut the plastic "thread" holding the velcro so we could take the lasso out. I re-tied it so it was not a continuous loop and my daughter had fun capturing Cheetah. The velcro does hold the lasso if you make sure it is looped back and there is enough cloth touching the tooth part of the velcro patch. Capt. Cold's gun was missing this morning already and I had to look under the couch for that (found it). Flash is awesome in my opinion. love the tread on the boots, too!

    Anticipating the characters we've wanted for 25 years is one of the best parts for me. Imagining what Solomon Grundy or Brainiac might look like gets me pumped for future announcements.

    Yeah, I must say, I'm impressed immensly as well. They are sticking with the proper likenesses of the characters which is really making the line impressive. I surely would have though we'd have seen a Blue or Red Superman or a hook-handed Aquaman perhaps by now. On the contrary the figures are wonderful! Great costumes, great packaging, and great likenesses. It only looks to continue as well. I can just picture Joker, Riddler, Supergirl, and Batgirl and what they may look like!

    EASILY the best wave. I promised myself I'd collect these at some point because the calling was there and I have such fond memories of megos (and no actual megos really) and THIS is what I've been waiting for. Wonder Woman looks bad to me in pictures, but in hand? PERFECT.

    Love them....if you've ignored the line up until now, NOW is the time to stop ignoring these....

    It's really strange reading all the various wave 3 threads how I've come across so many people writing that the figures aren't on the proper cards. I get that not everyone reads English in China, but how difficult is it to have a quality control remedy like an 8 X 10 name and picture guide posted to personnel responsible for fastening the figures onto the right cards? Heck, I dare say anyone doing the reverse, that is, matching Chinese characters and pictures could put card to figure correctly. I guess that's human error sinking in. Anyway, not to end on a sour note, I intend to purchase some if not all of wave 3 via TRU.com tomorrow.

    I opened my wave 3 last night and must've stared at Flash for a good five minutes. He's perfect! I was immediately surprised to see the hunchback problem has been corrected. I looked over all four and couldn't find anything I didn't like. These are works of art. Captain Cold is going to look awesome next to Riddler and Joker. And, with the exception of Zira, these are the very first female mego's I've bought. I was never into buying females (because they're dolls and I collect action figures ) but how can you pass up these gals?
    The boots on Flash/Cold are awesome and I could go on and on. The retro action line has exceeded my expectations with wave 3 and I hope they continue to knock it out of the park with wave 4 right up to wave 100. Thanks guys.

    I don't even have mine yet , and just from the pics it looks like Captain Cold is going to be my favorite of the wave.

    Wow even BBTS doesn't have them in yet ? I know Mattel has horrid distribution but why the delay ? What surprises me is that THE GB line is out too , and EE has cases but no sets yet. I do wonder why Mattel is delaying shipments to dealers and retailers. I thought I remember Paul saying something about Amok Time getting screwed with wave 1, could that be the reason they are still receiving theirs weeks ahead of everyone else ?
