    I went in and took out the stuffing on my Big Foot like you indicated, and now I love the figure. That really helped eliminate his plumpness issues and even helped make the arms seem more in scale. Splitting the jacket was the first thing I had done when I first got my Steve and it looks great on yours too. The one thing I did add was a pair of socks from CTVT. $2.00 for a pair. It was worth it. Helps complete his look. I took my Khaki Steve and put him in jeans, a plaid shirt, and leather jacket to give him some other looks from the show. This will be a cool figure to customize. I think the way you illustrated the ease in which you can adopt new looks will really sell people who were on the fence. And BBP can even save some money on their production costs by eliminating that stuffing in future Big Foot figures. Well done!

      Thx for the upgrade tips! My figures arrived yesterday and I luv 'em.
      If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

        BF looks much better without the extra padding! So did Steve come with a "metal" bar or not? I haven't seen it in any of the pics people have been posting.

          No metal bar. The red suit version comes with the key chain and the khaki Steve just comes with the figure. Nothing else.

            Wonder what happened to the metal bar? Am I only imagining that it was originally advertised to come with a bar he could bend?

              Got mine today and I'm really happy with them. I took Bigfoot out of his suit and rearranged it so the padding's in the back, but other than that, I'm leaving them both as-is. I might tinker a bit with Steve if I get a second jogging suit version sometime, which I imagine I will. I'll definitely get the khaki version soon--I almost did when I ordered these two, but I wasn't sure what the deal was on the moustache so I held off. Never cared for the moustachioed look for Steve.

                Hello everyone, I am brand new to Mego Museum and this is my first post. I just have a couple of questions for all you pros out there. I received my shipment of SMDM from EE and got the jogging suit version, the signed Rudy tin, Bigfoot, and Khaki steve with stach. I just found out about the new SMDM line 2 weeks ago. I used to own the original and loved it. I see there is now a new carded Rudy figure on Ebay and would like to own one. Where is this sold? Secondly, does BBP plan on additional figures from this line? I preordered Oscar and Fembot, but would like to know if they are making anymore? The obvious being Bionic Woman or Maskatron. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

                  I think a couple of retailers here have the carded Rudy for sale, I'm sure you can find one shortly.

                    Hi! Thanks for your business and welcome to our line. The carded version of Dr. Rudy Wells is a chase variant figure made in very limited quantities, and is only available at select retailers. We also have a Steve Austin in his Khaki outfit with a mustache, and that's also a chase variant figure. More characters are planned in the future, as this line literally just launched last month.
