    Venture Bros. = Greatest Re-Mego to date. Period.

    Despite the devastating news about Mattel's Retro Action line we Mego / 8 inch action figure fans do have something even better to enjoy and collect and that is thanks to EMCE and Bif, Bang Pow. I'm telling you, if you've been on the fence please read this one and come on over to the Venture side where the real Renaissance is!

    I just got these from a member on the board. THEY ARE AWESOME! I love the show first of all...the retro feel the great art....and the Johnny Quest knockoff (obvious but fun)!

    You can hear 24 say " AAARRRRR its the monarch!"

    If you want to fall in love with a show....watch the introduction to the episode "Hate Floats"....the perfect goofy superheros!

    Great stuff!

      Bought The Monarch the moment I saw him, and picked up both Henchmen at the Meet. I want Dr. Girlfriend, Orpheus, Phantom Limb, and Killinger. And this year's con exclusive.

      Would also like about a half dozen more of 21 for customs.

        The only real complaint I have for this line is one stated in the article: the non removable armor.

        I would have made it from a pliable material and fastened it in a similar manner to the MOTUC figures.

        My Monarch has a hardened glue spot on the fabric, where the assembly worker put the armor on.

          I kinda want a Brock just to use for a custom, and I really want Phantom Limb just to customize. I really haven't caught on to these guys yet but I'm glad they are being produced.

            I love the show and I love the line. I'm hoping for a Baron Underbiet on a Brock body and a Jefferson Twilight.

                Oh, I didn't realize. There wasn't a prototype for him at the Toy Fair so I thought they hadn't gotten to him yet. Well, then we need The Alchemist to complete the Triad! Good reason to make a teen titans size body, I think!

                    I REALLY want the Trinity badly. They are my favourite characters on the show.

                    They have such a d-list superhero team vibe going on... like The Champions or The Defenders. You just have to root for them because they are such huge underdogs.

                      My favorite thing about the prospect of the Triad is that when they finally do the alchemist, things will come full circle.

                      Orpheus once summoned the triad by using a Mego Spock for Al, and a Falcon for Jefferson!

                        Agreed. That was a great moment from Season 3. This figure line is outstanding. The whole retro-Mego vibe fits perfectly in with the show.

                        If it wasn't for Jason @ BBP! I never would of heard of The Venture Bros.
                        If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                          They make great cannon fodder for DC and Marvel customs. I hope they make more!

                            I had an ubergeek moment where I considered making those two using the "formula" they did on the show. I didn't do it, but every now and then I think about it! LOL!!

                              I really hope we get Colonel Gentleman soon.

                              Also if anybody still has the henchmen cheap, I could use a few for customs.
