1/6 Mego 1977 & 1978 12" Spider-man Retro Review

[The Skull]

Cool review buddy. Coming soon the 8'' version review to make it a complete set I really love these old figures man. Huge part of my childhood was playing with Mego figures. Star Trek and the bridge was my favorite though. So freaking awesome!

Nah I'm good, 8" hold little interest for me, just nice to have these ones I got.

Mego Batman and Spidey were my first action figures; I was really, really young -- barely knew who they were thanks to television, I think. Spidey had a vehicle with a net/web thing going on. To my tiny self they looked to be 1/6 but I'm guessing they were the 8" versions...

As big as these were back in the day, its a wonder why no remakes in 12 inch, seems like a good venture, but I could be wrong...

Here's some comparison photos with hot toys and marvel legends Spider-Man figures

Which one is Hot Toys?

Kiddiing!

HT is obviously the one that costs a kidney and has QC issues!: lol

The wear and thinning of the costume around the neck on the figure on the right is pretty common, I wonder if this is because it is essentially the same costume used for the smaller body stretched onto a bigger one?

No, it's not the same one. The printing is the same but the cut is larger. Still, it's a very common issue on the Spidey suit, both 12" and 8". It's weird because the other figs don't, or rarely suffer from that problem.
