I know they weren't perfect, but I am really going to miss the DST sets. Given the limitations of the license I thought they did a great job. I hope Dr. Covalt's sculpts find another stage as they are some of my favorites.

I agree, I wanted so many more classic characters. Big fan of the sculpts, too. Lonnie provided me with a lot of great customs fodder from these sets.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

The only set I didn't get was the Punisher, but not for the lack of desire--I will get a Punisher set soon.
Hopefully EMCE and Marvel will continue a retro-cloth license in some capacity or another company if it has to work that way.
As someone without any vintage Marvel Mego I'd love to add Green Goblin and FF reissues in addition to any modern recreations to my collection. I've no complaints about the quality. I didn't mind doing some paint touchups to my Wolverine and the only difficulty I ever experienced was trying to fit a DM body into the modern Thor outfit, I got it to fit, but was concerned I'd ruin the tailoring and cause a tear.Comment

Daredevil is best sculpt/ set. Liked how Dr. Blake and Modern Thor resembled each other. Spidey is classic and Peter Parker very Romita Sr. Cap and Steve, love secret IDs! Wolverine masked and unmasked reminds me of Hugh Jackman. Deadpool great too. Like the different retro and modern Punisher heads. Marvelous work all around! Many more mighty Marvel men and women to make!
April 6-8 is C2E2 where the DST sets were officially announced 4 years ago April 2014. Are we in for another surprise?Last edited by ovenmitt; Mar 25, '18, 8:22 AM.Comment

Thanks again! DD is one of my favorites also.
I would have liked to have seen the Pirate Deadpool produced. I thought the Marvel NOW! version of Deadpool looked pretty cool! I made a new head for it, new boots, new gauntlets...ah well! Haha!
You might be surprised how often plans change and never get produced.Expectation is the death of discovery.Comment
