Oh yes, It is a great time to be a Mego fan! I do believe that I must have the Cap set! I will get Spiderman too, mostly for the Peter Parker set. I am not sure I care about the circle spider suit (would rather have regular) or the modern Spiderman (would rather it not have boots). I can't see any reason to complain about the Cap set, I think it looks pretty near perfect!

"It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."Comment

I'm not yet sold on this line.
Part of me really wants to dig these, but something is holding me back. Maybe it's simply the deluge of other offerings (albeit a much-welcomed deluge of course) and my interests are piqued elsewhere? I'm just not quite "there" with these.
Glad to see that they have generated a great deal of interest though.
The more figures, the merrier...I always say.
I completely agree. It's a great looking figure and I love all these great choices.
But I'm not completely sold. It's probably just the price point. But I know that those were the constraints of the deal.
But it's a spectacular figure. Might have to pony up for it.Comment

The two 'new' figures look much better in this set than in the Spidey set. Still, once you invest another $10-25 shipped for 2 extra bodies, you are up to $80-105 for a Mego repro figure and 2 loose ones. That's versus $75-85 for three CARDED figures from FTC.
Since I am rebuilding my Mego collection, if I buy any of these I will probably keep the Mego and repro box and stick the two new figures on eBay and hope to recover as much of the cost of the set as possible. I am glad these are being made and I'm glad EMCE got the Marvel license for these since I am a much bigger DC fan.Comment

It's easy to see the Cap costumes were hand-stitched, obviously put together quickly so they could be shown at SDCC. The final production figures will be much better I'm sure.Comment

^Likely true; Emce/DST has done a great job on soft goods on their past releases.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 believe we're making Thor after Wolverine, but I may have it reversed. Prototypes are incredible in person. Didn't notice any poor stitching, and I doubt these were particularly rushed for the show, but hand-stitching is not always as perfect as machine stitching.
Heads are painted resin.
I tried to pose them nicely in the case after that shot was taken, but keep an eye out for some new shots on white from Action Figure Insider. I let them take them out and take some nice posed shots.Comment

DSTZach,
Will there be a Hulk set? How would a Bruce Banner alter ego work since he would use a regular Mego 8" body and Mego Hulk had unique bulky body? Then there would be an UPDATED Hulk!
I want Iron Man and Green Goblin sets soon after Thor and Wolverine sets, too!Comment
