X-MAS RE-MEGO ROUNDUP EPISODE 1: MATTEL RETRO ACTION BATMAN

Yes, these Mattel Re-Megos have been reviewed and documented elsewhere on the web, so I'm not going to delve into a full review. Yes, the rumors are true the Mattel bodies suck (at least from the waist down). Supposedly this is fixed on wave 3 figures, but my only wave 3 is Wonder Woman who uses Mattel's not as bad but nothing to write home about Monster High doll bodies. Still too many have been focusing on the flaws with these (yes the boots are freaking huge) and not the the pluses (hello, it's a Mego Batman available at retail in 2010!). I like him better than Hasbro's effort years back, who I wish I still had and was coincidently my very first Ebay purchase. Although, in this world where we are rocketing away from the good old days at lightning speed it's nice to be able to buy a Silver Age blue and gray Batman.
Here he is with his 1970s counterpart who needs some new gloves from Dr. Mego.
