I am a child of the seventies. I had ALL of the original pocket heroe megos in the day.
This is the Mego Spider-man. I used him alot. Loved spidey as a kid. I love that he has a fist ready to punch. But alas, it got lost in the great kids breaking into my house era....So why do I bring him up?
Well....My REAL mother sent me the one below 2 weeks ago. It is the new Ultimate spiderman line.
I wasn't upset with her because she is 80 and has no idea what I love. I left it in the box to sell in the cafe. The more I looked at it though....It is a Mego pocket heroe come to life! 5 points of articulation? Check! IT really brings me nostalgia for those times. It is perfect.
I thought I could only be happy with the multi articulation that Marvel Universe brings but I was WRONG! This is where it is at! 5 points baby! To prove it to myself I took it and threw it off the roof. It landed unharmed. So sturdy. Now what would happen had I thrown an MU off the roof? It probably would have broke.
I am with the 5 points now. Screw MU! I want my 3.75 figures like the original Star Wars figures now. I hope they do the entire Marvel Universe line with this style. And especially DC!
Glad to see another soul has been indoctrinated into the 5 POA club.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see Hasbro put out a full line of super heroes with the same articulation as the basic Star Wars figures.
DC too! Make it like the seventies and eighties with a strong Super Powers vibe and I am sold!
DeleteMight have to puck me up a 5 points Spidey on the cheap now.
ReplyDeleteVery cool Spidey!
