Mego Justice League Shazam & Black Adam

I actually got these new Meg Justice League Shazam and Black Adam figures free back in September 2022, using my Amazon Chase Card points earned to preorder them in July. A far better deal than the overly expensive Topps Exclusives that were available for only a week online. All's well that ends well- check out the video:


Above, Mego Justice League Shazam and Black Adam with the McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Rebirth Shazam and Endless Winter Black Adam from my last post. The McFarlane Shazam and Black Adam are more modern in their design and sculpt, but stay true in spirit to the original character designs that the Mego figures honor.


Above, Justice League Shazam with my new Mego 50th Anniversary Edition Shazam, both of which are also pictured below with my 8" Mattel Retro-Action Shazam, 4" Spin Master Shazam, 6" DC Universe Classics Shazam, and new 14" Mego Shazam...


My only real gripe with these is the unfortunate angle of the boots, which necessitates a forward-leaning pose to get the figures to stand upright. Otherwise delightful, modern Mego figures, mine are currently on a flight stand to combat this engineering oversight. There are 3rd party Mego accessories available that may not have this issue, or it may be possible to gently reshape using heat to rectify the situation. Leave a suggestion in the comments if you have modified either of these figures' boots! Visit the online Mego Museum to see what's new since the triumphant 2018 return of Mego Corp, and reminisce about its halcyon days in the '70s!

More Later- Make It FUN!
