Mego 50th Anniversary Joker, Green Lantern Hal Jordan, & Green Arrow

I've had these Mego figures on ice for at least 7 months now, Green Lantern maybe longer- but since I just posted on the Big Lots Exclusive Mego Superman, Batman, & Robin, I thought I'd circle back to show you these. Another wave of Mego DC Superheroes I preordered is due to drop in February, so I might as well keep it going! Check out the video:

which was basically a Mego reissue that doesn't feel quite as sturdy as the 50th GA ...

Green Lantern wasn't part of the original Mego World's Greatest Heroes lineup back in the '70s, but the character has received more love here in the 21st Century. Below, 50th Anniversary Mego Green Lantern Hal Jordan with my 14" Mego Green Lantern Hal Jordan and 8" Green Lantern John Stewart ...

Below Mego Green Lantern & Green Arrow with my Mattel Retro-Action Green Lantern & Green Arrow, which have been in my collection for twelve years. This line was one of several over the years that appealed to Gen-X kids like me that had 8" Mego figures- I have several in my collection that I treasure to this day, carded and loose.

I love the Green Arrow and Green Lantern, but there is a particular charm to the original Mego Joker- that face sculpt/deco and outfit are iconic in the history of action figures, if I dare say, and a childhood favorite of mine and countless others!

Below, Mego Hal Jordan and Green Arrow with my new Big Lots variant Superman, Batman, and Robin with some of the Mego 50th Anniversary World's Greatest Superheroes reissues. Mego had so much to do with my love of superhero comics and action figures back in the '70s, so having Mego reappear back in 2018 and revive the World's Greatest Super-Heroes line has been fun! 

These are fantastic additions to my Mego Collection! Be sure to check out the Mego Museum online and take a trip back to the halcyon days of Mego and the World's Greatest Superheroes!

McFarlane DC Multiverse Dump

 In an effort to save time and consolidate some posts, I'm cracking open six McFarlane DC Multiverse figures I've had on ice- there are two or three more on preorder, but this will help rid me of space-consuming packaging. I'm largely unfamiliar with Kon-El Superboy, but always liked his punk outfit with the leather jacket. Sadly, no extra hands with Kon-El, nor flight stand, but I really like the figure!

Along with Kon-El, I was most excited to get this Jay Garrick Flash from McFarlane Toys- he has bright colors and a sort of Golden-Age facial treatment- his deco really reminds me of that era of comics. We get two pair of hands with Jay, and speed force effects accessories...

Above, McFarlane DC Multiverse Jay Garrick Flash with DC Collectibles New 52 Jay Garrick Flash, who actually has a broken left hip joint as that particular era of DC Collectibles suffered from such QC issues. Below, Jay with my DC Multiverse Injustice Flash, Wally West Flash, and CW Flash ...

My DC Multiverse Gold Label Shazam also has a kind of 

Golden -Age look to it, though his sculpt is more modern in it's detail ...

Most of my experience with Green Lantern Kyle Rayner is from the New 52 Green Lantern: New Guardians, over 10 years ago when I was reading a lot of Green Lantern. I found this Gold Label variant right after buying the Atrocitus BAF Wave Kyle Rayner. This version didn't include a lantern, but a katana and samurai armor- it also has a strait-face/closed mouth and different boots and gauntlets.

This Endless Winter Aquaman is just a good ol' standard Aquaman to my eyes, which is why I bought him! Not crazy about the eyes gazing left and we get no extra hands, but he grips that trident tightly...

I've seen neither the Justice League move nor the Aquaman movie, but the sculpt/deco on this Jason Momoa Aquaman is fantastic! He's taller than my DC Multiverse comic-based figures...

Above, Justice League Aquaman with McFarlane DC Multiverse Hawkman from the Black Adam movie line, perhaps my only other McFarlane DCEU/movie figure. Below, Justice League Aquaman next to my McFarlane Endless Winter Aquaman, who is notable shorter in spite of the way the photo appears...

I got this Gold Label Ocean Master pretty easily of Target's website a couple months ago- a character I've had limited exposure to, but provided another villain to my McFarlane Toys collection... dark and menacing!

I knew this Ocean Master would pair well with the Endless Winter Aquaman...

I have a sort of love/hate relationship with McFarlane DC Multiverse figures: they don't pose as well, nor do their joints possess the fluidity of Marvel Legends, nor Mattel's DC Universe Classics probably. The joints are also finger-pinchers and some of the gripping hands are so stiff that it's hard to get their weapons/accessories into! That said, I like the sculpting/deco on many of these and enjoy this particular group.

McFarlane DC Multiverse Atrocitus/Blackest Night Wave

 This Atrocitus/Blackest Night Wave of McFarlane action figures I picked up are perfect for the Halloween season upon us! Kyles Rayner is the only human of the bunch, which are all zombies and monsters. I'm unsure how to feel about this shade of green, but I have a feeling we will see at least one more version of this character. Regardless, I like this figure overall. More constructs could have been nice, but we got his unique lantern accessory, so I'm happy.

Below, McFarlane Kyle Rayner with DC Direct JLA Kyle Rayner (2003)...

Below, Kyle Rayner with John Stewart and Parallax from my last post- I've missed the large chunk of DC Direct Lanterns I sold off awhile back, so it's fun picking up some McFarlane Green Lanterns...

I regret never having picked up the Black Lantern Batman DC Direct produced for their Blackest Night series, of which I had many, but this McFarlane version makes up for it. The textures in the sculpt and color were better in person than I expected...

The McFarlane Flashpoint/Thomas Wayne Batman is a favorite among my DC Multiverse figures, but this Black Lantern Batman rivals it for my money. The Earth 44/Murder Machine Batman is another "horror" Batman in my DC Multiverse collection that's an interesting reimagining of the character.

I'm mostly sure this is the only Deathstorm I've ever owned in this scale, though I did have a DC Action League Deathstorm minifig! The included lantern accessory was appreciated.

DC Direct released a couple different Black Lantern Supermen in their Blackest Night line- I had the Series 7 Blackest Night Superman, but this one is more like the Series 1 Earth-2 Black Lantern Superman.

These Black Lanterns make a creepy pair, and makes me wonder will McFarlane produce as deep a bench of Black Lanterns as DC Direct did in 2009-2010. It's true I was more motivated by the Atrocitus BAF and Black Lantern Batman, but these are pretty cool.

Collecting all four figures in this wave gets one the parts for the large Atrocitis figure. I had a DC Direct Atrocitus that I miss, but this larger version is probably scaled better- big oversight not including a lantern accessory.

Since I now had Atrocitus, I had to buy Batrocitus, a perfectly fitting mashup! Ironically, Batrocitus does have a red lantern accessory and extra fists. I may like him a little better than the Atrocious BAF partially for this reason. but they make a great pair!

My McFarlane Hellbat also pairs well with Batrocitus. There are a few other Batman variants McFarlane has produced that I'd like to have, but I'm pretty happy with the one's I've picked up. I enjoyed this wave of McFarlane figures, but go ahead and pick up Batrocitus to supplement if you are getting this wave.
