    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!

        Same here on Spidey. Looking forward to getting my hands on Cap though!

          Beautiful job on the Cap set. A definite buy for me.

            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.

              Same here. You can't tell in these photos but the stitching on both Cap figures looks terrible. Hopefully it will look better on release, if not I'll pass.

              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.

                  If all you want is the repro Cap, I'll take all the extras off your hand for a fair price.

                    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.

                            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.

                              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!
