DST Spider-Man Limited Edition Collector Set

[Brown Bear]

Sorry, but I'm confused by this sentiment. I like the sets & want them to succeed, but Paul helped develop this line; we'll have the opportunity to buy it from Diamond.

It's no secret that the Marvel licence was something Paul has wanted to be part of and now he is. I wasn't insinuating this was being released by Paul rather than DST. Thought that went without saying. Duh! I'm just happy Paul finally gets to participate in this line.

Paul...deserves this line and we'll be happy to buy it from him.

Hmmm.

Custom large box: $20
reMego body: $7 avg.
pr. boots: $5
pr shoes: $3
glasses: $2
2 printed suits: $30
1 detailed custom-sewn suit: $30
3 head casts: $24 avg.
3 paint jobs for said heads: $30
3 prs custom hands: $15
Camera accessory: $5

Total: $171, not to mention new custom accessories, booklet, retail mark-up, and limited run.

These aren't cheap, but I'd say they're reasonable considering what related customs might be.

So glad to hear these won't be coming out all at once, I might be able to swing these and Batman66 too!

Oh and Thank You Dr Mego!
ALL this REMEGO stuff wouldn't be happening without you!

[melkorjunior]

I would rather
* WWII Cap w/ triangle shield
* Mego corrected version
* S.H.I.E.L.D. outfit

And as for the Goblin I would love to see
* Mego Goblin with glider and pumpkin bombs
* Norman Osborn
* Hobogoblin outfit and head or the Phil Urich costume

That Goblin set would be sweet!

[Iron Mego]

Now I'm confused too. Just re-read and see where he says those four will be coming out. Sorry. I think I'm going to stay out of this until all the particulars are out in the open.

Joe,

OK I am a little confused, will there be 2 or 4 of these sets a year? I hope 4, 1 each quarter!

[Iron Mego]

Thanks, Joe! I can go for 4 sets per year $80 each! I will buy at least 2 of each set! Spidey, Captain America, Thor, and Wolverine sound cool for this year! I hope Hulk, Iron Man, and maybe a Fantastic 4 member with new movie for 2015 and a FEMALE like Jean Grey whose had many costumes! Congrats to you, Paul, and DST on getting the license! I hope for many Mego Marvels!

If you read the post above you'll see that those first four sets won't all be out this year. And only a couple sets will be released per yer. I don't think this is going to be anything like FTC's DC license and releases.

Cap:
original Mego (with fixes to the shirt, boots and gloves)
a costume with a more modern-style Cap head
a Bucky head with a Bucky outfit.

I am so excited to have YOU GUYS doing these. It's truly music to our ears and we'll be front and centre to pre-order these when ready.

That bandless body that DST acquired was the original ZICA body, which was utilized for the Buck Rogers line that Craig had a couple of years ago. They (in most people's opinions, including mine), simply sat on the leftover stock, as well as the tooling, and we all thought that they weren't going to do anything with it.

They either kept REAL mum about this deal happening, because they had all that, or it is simply a happy coincidence that the Marvel license was brought to the table.

Of course, if Doc is using his OWN bandless body, it would be even better.

Some thoughts...

Peter Parker is a pretty iconic civilian identity, up there with Clark, Bruce and Dick, and I love the Romita-esque headsculpt. However, I'm not so sure getting a Steve Rogers head with Captain America or a Don Blake head with Thor would give me as much of a thrill. For Cap and Thor and Wolverine I'd like to see:

Cap:
original Mego (with fixes to the shirt, boots and gloves)
a costume with a more modern-style Cap head
a Bucky head with a Bucky outfit.


Thor:
original Mego (but please fix the hair--straighter, shorter would be good)
a modern version with a new head and outfit (maybe he can have a beard ala Chris Hemsworth)
a Beta Ray Bill head.

Wolverine: masked, whisker mask, unmasked.

I also hope you guys find some way to release a Green Goblin and a Lizard in the future, as those are some of the best figures Mego produced and Goblin especially is a nightmare to complete on eBay. I'd buy a two-pack of them for $80 without any third costume or head being included (although Norman Osborn would be welcome. He'd make an awesome Mego with his uber-Nixonian hair!)

Yeah, I think the whole thing would kinda hinge on the spare bodies. Looks pretty cool, though. I was really excited about new marvel megos, but the $ makes me nervous.
