    The flesh colored stems were what I had on hand - dyeing them red would have taken more time than I had that day.

    The bandless bodies are for another project that I cannot talk about.

    I think most of us assumed this as well. At some point Paul said he had to wait to release the bandless bodies because they were going to be used for another project. Too bad this isn't it. Although these may work on the Type S body.

    The one thing I'm finding odd is that the extra hands have a flesh colored post. What's that about?

    Gotta say the updated Spidey looks much better in this pic than in the promo pic. The suit is much more snug.

I know that Doc and Joe at EMCE had to deal with a lot of restrictions to make this happen and I hope that sales of this line can overcome the all the licensing "hoops" they had to jump through to make it happen.

    For most heroes I'd suspect a villan would be more appropriate than their secret identity.

    Yeah - I think a maskless Woverine head is fine, but I'd like three different costumes and not just a flannel shirt thrown in.

    I can't wait for Thor.....to solve the "extra bodies" issue....I am buying extra bodies

    The retro version stays on the current body it comes with...The updated classic costume goes on the new body (those new castaway/zica bodies will work perfect)

    Mandatory secret identity heads are my big worry too. The only good thing that can come out of mandatory secret identity heads for figures where the secret identity is just "meh"--like Donald Blake--are more Mego-style heads for possible customs.

    Three different Thors would be awesome. Don Blake -- not so much. I hope they are not beholden to always include a secret identity.

    I would love to get a Thor pack so long as the other two costumes as part of the Thor Corps:

    I look at it like this...a pristine mint original circle suit Spider-Man or Captain America would BOTH cost more than $80 loose.
    For the price they're asking, I get a brand new figure that I don't have to worry about breaking, plus two cool extra outfits and a book.
    That's more than good enough for me.

    At the end of the day, it is what it is, no use complaining. These are already $10 cheaper in other places. Im more bothered that I have to rip open a nice display piece, and I cant afford another one.

    No matter how awesome an announcement, they'll always be a group of nit-pickers.
    Maybe some of us don't appreciate being price-gouged? Or forced into buying bundles? Or deceptive sales tactics? I'll try to go back to being a good little unquestioning consumer but I'm not in the third grade anymore.

    I really wanted to love this line and support it. I can't. There is far more wrong than there is right for me here. There is absolutely no good reason that for the price we only get one figure. I refuse to be bent over and expected to take it just because of the license.

    I agreed with the nit-picking over the FTC announcements, but those were straight repros. This set is different, the 'updated' figure is hideous IMO and so is the price. Pretty much everyone agrees they nailed the retro Mego Spidey and the Peter head/suit is awesome.

    I won't buy it but if they nail the Mego repro versions of Iron Man and Thor, I will probably buy both.
    Agreed with Ya! If they nail the original Thor, i'll take the plunge.

    Ok... Isn't this all about a straight reproduction version, a modern version (head & costume at the least) and an alter ego for each of the Top Marvel Heroes (Spiderman, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor & Wolverine)? How can any Mego fan be complaintning about three figures in a set?
    the annoyance is having to buy extra bodies to display both the Retro verson and the updated version...who wants to dress and undress these all the time?
