    Many thanks to Paul and Joe and everyone who made what we did receive happen!

    People have mentioned already how it made them feel to see and buy these as we did in the days of old, but it wasn't until my son (who just turned five) started to play with them that I realized just how much fun they were to even kids of today. He's been asking for the last several months when more of the "Figures Where the Clothes Come Off" (as he calls the line) will be coming. While he's happy to get more in the form of the Green Lanterns, I know what he really wants more than any other character would be Robin.

    Hopefully Mattel will choose to release the last six discussed in some form or another. As I said elsewhere, I can't really see how releasing the undone major Super/Bat characters, if nothing else, can be a bad thing.

    If not, well, it's back to customizing. And thanks to Doc that's at least still a possibility!

      Along with the heart felt thanks to Paul and Joe, I cannot stop thinking about the day in 2009 when we got our first look at the first wave. Everyone was excited. We all had that kid in us come alive again. I remember seeing Green Arrow's picture first posted on the forum here. I just could not believe it. And then the thoughts of what was to come. Man this line really got me and so many others. Of course the line got its negative but it did get a huge amount of possitive. Each wave that came out gave everyone something to look forward to that they had not had to look forward to in such a long time. But now we see that reality, for whatever it is, puts this new MEGO line to bed. We wish that we can get just a few more figures, but we know that may not happen. Lets just appreciate what Dr. Mego and Joe gave us and wait to see what the offcial outcome is really going to be. If we do not get more Retro Action DC Super Heroes than lets celebrate on what we did get. From all of this we can say in a very strong voice....."MEGO LIVES"!!!!!!!!

        The DC Retro line was a blast! Thank you so much. You guys did the impossible. Plus, you gave us Darkseid and Guy Gardner!!!

        I love swapping the Mattel bodies with the Dr. Mego or Cast-a-way bodies and having Toyroom or Mego73 make retro style boxes (cards take up too much room). It was a great run.

        Now that the line is in it's twilight we're freed up to make any DC character we want. First up: Alter Ego Barry Allen and Vigilante.
        If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

              Dr Mego has been the biggest single contributor to Mego collecting since Mr Abrams! From repro parts, to all the 8 inch Mego style greatness that we've seen in the past several years, and so much more still to come. It's obvious every time you talk to Paul- He's just as big a fan as anyone- not some corporate stuffed shirt. Thanks buddy for how hard you've worked, and for all you've accomplished!!

                  My son and I thank you

                  I know I love having most of the retro figures on a shelf in my toyroom, but I also know I love playing with the ones I gave my 4 year old son even more. It all just took me back 35 years ago. Thanks for getting them made, thanks for more fond memories of playing with this kind of toy.

                    Couldn't agree more. The best thing about the Mattel figures has been "playing Megos" with my boy. Thanks so much, Joe and Paul, for helping make that happen! I know this is probably a setback, but with everything else you have on the horizon, I am sure you will have lots more success in the toy business.

                      Thank you all for what you've done! Initially, I had apprehensions but after purchasing them and seeing them, it brought me right back to my childhood, except now I can collect and have collected them all. Thank you for the work, dedication, diplomacy, and all the other things you all endured to make this happen...

                          Yes! In my opinion, Green Lantern would have been a bargain at TWICE the price! I got a factory made suit, a hand with a molded on ring, and a lantern- all for $20. Before Retro Action, I paid way more than that for just a head and suit- with no ring and no lantern.

                                Thank you! It was nice seeing those dreams of finding new megos at the store realized.
                                I do hope the remaining protypes are able to be produced. If not I am happy for what we got!!! To all involved in this process, thank you! Best of luck in the future!
