DST Spider-Man Limited Edition Collector Set

[drmego]

yes they will

This may have been asked before but will these heads fit on a Doc Mego body to make 3 figures?

I can't pull the trigger on this set yet. It's the $ that's making me wait, but more and more I'm wanting it.
I think the new head and suit are going to look awesome! I think we have only seen the prototype stuff. I bet the suit will be nice and tight.
I would probably put the circle suit on an original Mego body, and the new suit on a buff body, and then Peter can go on the original DM body.

Doc Mego, can you tell us when will we see more of the Spider-Man set or prototypes for other upcoming sets? SDCC?

I want to hope that this goes pretty far and we end up with a lot of different sets. There are some really cool figures that could be reproduced. Goblin with a Glider would be amazing. Maybe even a Hobgoblin!

Unfortunately, with the format and the price point, I'm fearful we'll get maybe 4 sets tops before this ends.

As we saw with the DC line (granted the crappy Mattel bodies didn't help) even having star power doesn't necessarily mean a guaranteed success, particularly with a high price point. FTC works in a way where it's almost direct to consumer, but this will have the typical Diamond middle man process, which is good as far as finding them at retail and such, but creates potential for a quick death as well.

I would pay $80 for a Goblin with a well-done glider and maybe an extra hand holding a pumpkin bomb before I would the Spidey set.

If you don't get Spider-Man, who is Green Goblin going to throw his pumpkin at?

[FamousCoversFan]

yes they will

Can anyone tell me which bodies these are exactly and where can I buy these? Thanks!

The biggest key to this line being successful is character selection. You can do Parker, but the alter egos pretty much end there. Ironman is pretty much the only other I could see being desired on the open market. Movie likenesses could make a huge difference. There are several that icould easily beat the price issue. Ironman offers a good 3 suit selection. A first appearance wolverine head and suit could make that set well worth it if done right. Thor with a Kirby head, a comic bearded head and a Hemsworth head with accurate suits would be well worth it. Get a Hiddleston head and that alone could carry a Loki set. Nick Fury with comic, Jackson, and Hasselhoff heads would rule. The price point won't hurt this line at all if the selection is there. This is a high end set and if the product is comparable with the quality seen in the upper level markets, it will do fine.

For $80 I'd rather spend it on a minty original loose Mego Spidey.

[LonnieFisher]

Awesome! I want a set!

Original Mego Hulk and Bruce Banner would be great as a 2-pack but I think they said they are married to the idea of a 3-pack set. Not sure how you add a 2nd updated Hulk without an actual figure.

[madmarva]

If Doc's 8" Hulk body is used, it could have interchangeable green, grey and red hands. Grey. And red body suits to make grey and red Hulk.

and interchangeable grey and red Hulk HEADS. Kirby Grey Hulk head! Torn white shirt and blue pants for Grey Hulk! Not really familiar with Red Hulk's look. Interchangeable grey and red FEET, too! This would be best way to do Hulk set, sadly no Bruce Banner, though?

^That's why I'm afraid this line is gonna fail BIG time, and I really, REALLY want it to succeed. I'm sorry, but this one figure, two outfit mandate is EXTREMELY foolish and limiting in terms of how they can do various characters. I foresee two, maybe three sets actually making it to production before the plug is pulled. What irks me the most is, Marvel will blame either the fans or the format, rather than the execution. Why they didn't just follow FTC's lead I'll never understand. Issue single figure reproductions and sprinkle in new characters here and there.
Once again, DC trumps Marvel in the toy dept.

I agree with this.
