Could DST make Marvel Megos?

[Werewolf]

Awesome. Hopefully these will be on the new bodies without the rubber bands.

Has a bit of a captain action vibe which is very cool.

[sprytel]

Very, very cool! I love the way it combines the vintage and the modern. Hopefully, this is a test balloon for a full Marvel line.

I know you get parts enough for 3 figures. And I know it is limited edition. But any way you justify it, $80 is expensive. But price notwithstanding, this looks like a real winner.

I dig the comic versions, tho I admit I am a little shocked to see a factory produced circle suit.

Yay! Cat's out of the bag!

[pmwasson]

Wow!!! Thanks for the link!





Looks great!

I'm not going to get my hopes up. If it is really Marvel I would be very disappointed if they don't reissue exact replicas of the original Megos first. No reason why we couldn't have both 60s and 70s versions of X-Men down the road.

[jayraytee]

I like the 70s x-men better. But anyway, I always think of re-Megos as retro style figures as in the figure is made like a 70s era Mego, not necessiarily that the character selection has to be from the 70s or that their costumes have to be from the 60s or 70s. Just that the figures are built like 70s era Megos... with updates like the exclusion of rubber bands.

[Iron Mego]

The more I think about this, the more I doubt that it's going to be Marvel Megos. It's probably the pessimist in me, but I have a hard time believing it will actually happen. Hopefully I'm wrong.

I have the DST Marvel Select 70s X-Men 7" figures- Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Wolverine, Storm, Colossus, and Nightcrawler and they are excellent so I want Mego 8" figures of them, too, that is X-Men era I prefer! Gotta have Prof X, Beast, Angel, Iceman, Phoenix, etc, also!

[monitor_ep]

Say this happens, what version of X-Men do you want? If you go with the retro that means you would have to go with the 60's X-Men:


Do you want this of the more popular 70's X-Men:

[jayraytee]

Yeah I like exact duplicates, but I agree that it would be best to update some of the more glaring issues. Keep the Mego feel with a modernernized look. Balance it I think. But thats just my opinion, and who knows what would be the most popular.

[monitor_ep]

This line really needs more villains. Much like the DC where the villains were mostly Bat-Villains, Marvels were Spidey-villians. We need more Marvel Villains.

[ovenmitt]

All Mego Spidey needed was black web lines on his head and hands. A BLACK costume Spidey would be so easy and 2014 is the 30th anniversary of Spidey's 2nd costume! I am all for updates but exact copies of original Mego Marvels 1st!
