I was super-excited about getting these Mego Wave 18 World's Greatest Super-Heroes, which included some bonafide B-Tier DC heroes and villains like Red Tornado and Dr. Fate! None of these were produced during Mego's halcyon days in the '70s, but they really capture the spirit! Check out the video:
There was also a Bizarro included in this wave that I could have pitted against my Mego 50th Anniversary Superman, but I just never cared about that character. I'm much more a fan of Brainiac!
As much as I loved Mattel's DC Retro-Action figures back in 2010, the quality of the figure construction can't match the new Mego figures. That said, the Retro-Action Two-Face is still a treasured item in my collection...
Below, Deadman, Firestorm, Dr. Fate, and Red Tornado team up with Aquaman, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, and Shazam- what a great time to be a Mego fan!

I like those. Two-Face is probably the weakest one; the suit is so baggy that it doesn't really look like a real suit.
ReplyDeleteIf Nightwing is with Robin then does that mean it's Jason Todd Robin or Tim Drake Robin? Or is it just one of those multiverse crises?
well, they ARE the same sculpt, so it's a 2001 Space Odessey/Dave Bowman Paradox weird thing
DeleteHow are the knee joints on your figures particularly Deadman, I’ve heard and read multiple reviews in which the reviewer states that they either are frozen in place or they snap when movement is attempted
DeleteBlocko, the knees don't have a lot of articulation range, and if they are twisted the wrong way under the cloth unbeknownst to the collector they could easily be snapped. I personally feel this is what is happening most of the time, your mileage may vary.
