Cap & Mxy are figures I'd suggest tweaking slightly if reproduced, purist though I am.
Cap really needs just a changed paint deco on the vintage head, red hands, and a slightly modified suit. It doesn't have a major overhaul/resculpt.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

I'm also concern about the sculpts looking to modern day comic versions and looking silly on the doll body style. There are enough Marvel action figures of current comic style art. It's important not to loose the Mego look by going beyond the style of the product.
Alfred and Gordon are IMO pushing compatibility in style with the original WGSH Batman line. They both seem more Adams-Aparo comic style. While some will like them even more because of this, I think in the end, they will only make the original figures look out-dated.Comment

^ I see what you mean, but DM/Mattel took a lot of heat for aiming at "Mego" sculpts. I agree with you about extreme expressions.
It's a fine line, & subjective, too. I personally think Alfred & Gordon are fine, and FTC will be OK IMO if they stick to a Silver/Bronze aesthetic based upon style guides. Most fans here seem to want a '70s vibe. But I'll bet they'd rather a tuxedoed Zatanna as opposed to a unitard one. etc.
I like Mego Batman & Capt. America, but they are not stellar sculpts per se.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

He's right about those two sculpts. They were kind of 'bleh' compared to that of Superman, or Thor.
I wish that Doc, IF this is the license that he's looking to snare, could do a movie based version of Thor, Loki, etc.
Okay, it's shallow of me; but I'd KILL for an 8" version of either Chris Hemsworth or Tom Hiddleston!
I know that it will never happen, considering the beaucoup bucks for the rights to their likenesses, but a girl can dream!
Maybe we can get a Kid!Loki out of the deal; I always did think he was loads cuter than most of the depictions in the comics.JediJaidaComment

Crimson Ghost/Andy did a terrific job on the ones I saw. I held the removable mask Hawkman sculpt in my hand and it would have been AMAZING.Last edited by samurainoir; Feb 15, '14, 12:56 PM.Comment

I don't believe at all it was the sculpts were what sunk the line. The oddly strung body was the main fiasco here if most will recall, and I believe there were internal things going on at Mattel in terms of who was championing the line.
