Hopalong Flash...

[megomania]

Well, I guess I will have to be the first to post a (somewhat) negative review of the Retro DC Flash....only because he came out of the package with one leg shorter than the other. As you can see in the pics his left leg is definitely shorter than his right.

Not sure if it's the way he is strung but it is clearly shorter. Also, the top of the backside of his left boot looks like it was cut off with some kind of blade. Wonder if there was just a manufacturing problem with the left side of his body?

Oh well. I will definitely be calling Mattel for a swap and other than that, although he has never been one of my favorites (and god damn does he have a huge nose), he's pretty cool. Oh, and the rest of the Wave 3 figs rock. I'd buy them if they were $29.99

Did you take both the boots off to see if its the leg that is longer or if the boot just isn't on all the way? I got a Lex were one of the boots wasn't quite push on all the way.

[megomania]

Yup - first thing I checked...it's on all the way. You can see in the first two pics how his left hip is all weirded out...

[MIB41]

I checked mine and his legs are the same length. I also don't have that production problem with the boots. What a bummer! Well I hope Mattel replaces him with a perfect one for you. I love mine!

[megomania]

Yeah, I love 'em too. Cold's outfit is just ridiculous...unbelievable quality. Really digging the WW and Cheetah also.

Without a doubt. And I believe that some who don't care much for Capt Cold will change that tune once they get a chance to see him up close. Just as cool as any villian Mego ever could have hoped to put out.

Did you take the costume off to see what the body looks like underneath?

Actually I haven't. The first series where I haven't had to, so I've kind of liked leaving it alone. They stand and pose perfectly though. I'm very pleased with the fix.

Hey with one leg shorter just set him up in a running pose all the time

Sorry, I was asking Megomania if he removed the Flash's costume. It might help to see how the legs could be different lengths.

[MegoNutt]

i heard you run faster with one leg shorter.

[megomania]

Well, Mattel doesn't have Flash 'in stock' so I get to keep the one-legged man and they are sending me a $20 voucher. All's well that ends in one leg shorter than the other.

[MIB41]

Didn't you get him from Amok Time? If that's the case, you paid more than $20.00 for him.

I think it's you run faster "circles" with one leg shorter...
