Mattel Releases More "Mego" Type Retro DC Action Figures Including Darkseid & Black Adam

I had several Mego action figures (won't call them dolls) growing up.  If only I had not destroyed them in my  childhood.  Throwing, tying, hanging, jumping, shooting, etc. did not allow my Mego figures to stand the test of time.

Thankfully, Mego-style dolls (action figures) have experienced a resurgence thanks to Mattel's World's Greatest DC Heroes line, which has released many DC Comics heroes and villains that never saw the light of day under Mego. In addition to Captain Marvel (aka Shazam) the line will see the first appearance of Black Adam, Martian Manhunter and my personal all-time favorite character, Darkseid.

Dolls, I mean action figures never looked so AWESOME!  What DC character would you like to see become a retro figure? I'd like Ra's Al Guhl.

First Look at Mattel Vintage/Retro DC Super Heroes Wave 2

You remember the Green Arrow figure in the Retro-Action DC line?  Probably not because it sold-out so god damn quick nobody got one.   Why wouldn't it?  Gfest loves the look of the old MEGO figures from the 1970s.

Thankfully, Mattel realized the demand for these beautiful retro figures and will soon release a new wave. The company posted photos of the Wave 2 collection that features Batman, Two-Face, Aquaman, and Black Manta. (via matty collector)
