DST Spider-Man Limited Edition Collector Set

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

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

Working on it

I really like what EMCE is doing here, and it would be cool if the sets came with a coupon or order form for extra bodies. 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.

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.

Sounds great Doc. I hope the project is Star Wars!!!!!

I wonder if the "secret identity" head and outfit is a part of the overall agreement?

I like the idea of Don Blake, Steve Rogers, etc being included because it feels authentic to what Mego did back in the day. I would enjoy displaying them with Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, and the other alter egos Mego produced.

For Wolverine, I'd love to see his original "whisker" mask as one of the heads included.

Personally, I hope the design aesthetic stays squarely within the Mego era: I have no interest in modern characters in this format.

Hot diggity! I second that!

[ovenmitt]

Please, be Star Wars the only license to equal Marvel!

[Timothy2251]

Star Wars? BAH. HUMBUG!

The only license to equal, nay, SURPASS Marvel?

I just hope these are better than the crap FTC is putting out with their repro's (I opened my Batman and Robin and they are Crap,strung tight and cheap feeling)

[melkorjunior]

I admit I still don't like the FTC bodies, which seem only marginally better than CTVT bodies (I bought their Mad Monsters repros and was fairly appalled at the chintziness of the bodies, not to mention they can't even stand up straight.) My FTC Riddler repro broke an arm the moment I tried to bend it. It wasn't even just the rubber band--the arm itself just broke right off with the plastic torn through. I'm planning on switching all the FTC figures onto new bodies, and from now on I see the FTC line as just heads and costumes only.

I want this thread to read about the DST Spiderman Limited Edition Collector Set and other Marvel sets to come...

I agree with you 1000%!!! I can't understand why FTC (having the DC license) doesn't put out a better quality body....What gives here?
