New Mego Figure Confirmed- Supergirl


A while back, I talked about the possibility of a new Supergirl classic Mego figure. And now it looks like it is going to actually happen.

Over at figurestoycompany.com, the Supergirl figure has been revealed! Head here for details:
http://figurestoycompany.com/supermanretro8inchactionfiguresseries1superman-1.aspx

I have to say ... it looks great in a retro sort of way.

This is definitely a 70's looking Supergirl with puffy sleeves and hot pants. She is wearing ballerina slippers, not boots. The collar being around the neck even mimics the choker look of the time. Now I will say that there is something a bit off with her head and that big forehead.

And it has some of the Mego flourishes, like the legs being covered in fabric.


The packaging looks pretty nice complete with plastic bubble and beautiful trade art (even if it has her wearing boots).


And the back of the package shows the Superman family figures including Lois, Jimmy, and Clark!!

The figure is a bit pricey at $24.99. My guess is it will be impossible to have this figure stand up on its own so if I end up getting this figure it might actually stay in the packaging.

The release date is late November so start saving your pennies or prepare your holiday wish lists!

New Supergirl Mego Figure??



If there is something of a grail piece for me in my Supergirl collection, it is an original Supergirl Mego figure. Way too expensive. Way too rare. I haven't even really seen one in person. Would I ever be able to claim one of my own?

Well, what about a sort of pseudo-Mego figure? The Figures Toy Company is putting together very limited edition two-packs of Mego style figures. Over on the 13thDimension.com, they have the card of available figures. Here is the link: http://13thdimension.com/figures-toys-goes-all-in-on-mego-like-line/

I am drooling over the Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez artwork. But I am amazed at the figures being offered! Mary Marvel! Yellow outfit Kid Flash! Captain Marvel Jr. (now Shazam Jr)! Early 70s Catwoman! Just beautiful.

And look at the Superman figures!


There is a bunch, including Supergirl. It is hard to see if this is a mini-skirt or hot pants! Either way ... I want one!

How about a 2-pack of Lois and Kara? Perfect!

Surprisingly, this could be relatively affordable. A 2-pack is $59.99. Just need to start squirreling away my nickels and dimes now. Here is an ordering page, including just Batman 2-packs: http://figurestoycompany.com/8inchlimitededitiondcsuperherotwo-packs.aspx

Hat tip to Rob on Aquaman Shrine for bringing this to my attention!
