18-INCH MEGO FIGURES???

There has become trend lately to produce extra large examples of classic figures. These large Megoes are very cool but too pricey for me at 100 dollars per. IF I could have one it would be the Superman I think. Figures Toy Co. does a good job at the traditional 8 inch figures with cloth clothing. I wish I was a big enough blog that they would send me stuff like this to review for them. I would turn out something great, you know that.

 

DC is also releasing maximum sized version of their classic Super Powers line. Some of the figures look good at the larger size (like this Flash) but some suffer from the change. Either way, I think these will be very popular. They display very well and the basic color schemes of the characters and costumes cannot be beat.

 

 

 

In 1984, Kenner began to release the next on their extremely popular action figure lines, the DC Super Powers Collection! This line included heroes such as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and many, many more. Gentle Giant Ltd. is proud to announce the Flash Jumbo Figure as the newest offering in this stunning line of retro figures. This Flash Jumbo figure was developed using state of the art 3D technology. Gentle Giant Ltd. has taken the original DC Super Powers Flash figure and created a highly accurate digital model with the use of 3D scanners. This digital model was then scaled to 12 inches tall, and then printed using top of the line 3D Systems printers. These pieces are then used in manufacturing to produce extremely accurate, scaled replicas. The DC Super Powers Collection Jumbo Figures from Gentle Giant Ltd. will be made from high quality vinyl, and some ABS plastic parts. Many of the figures will also include fabric capes and accessories. Finally, these incredible figures will feature retro art packaging, and come in a protective re-sealable blister pack.
