Loved loved LOVED my Mego Hulk and Thing figures.
They regularly leveled entire cities (well, in my feverish little mind anyway), with Ben getting the occasional assist from Mego Spider-Man. This pic brings back a lot of memories.

Thanks for posting!

How was the paint job on that Ob-Wan statue, John?  I got mine when it was released some time ago and the paint job on Obi-Wan's face wasn't very good.  HIs facial hair bore little resemblance to the paint job in the solicitation.

I was actually a bit disappointed when my Mego Hulk came-- I used to have
one a few years back that was 12" or so. I thought that this was the same
one as it looked pretty mcuh identical-- little did I realize the one I just got
was 7" or so!

Still, he's a fun little guy and it's easy to display him.

Rogue is out in June and Black Widow is out in August.

++++

The Kotobukiya Black Widow will release in Japan this coming May.

HobbyLink Japan is now taking pre-orders for it (locked mine in already):

Looks like Rogue gets a later Japan release.

Black widow : She looks more like Fujiko Mine (from the animation Lupin 3rd) than the Black Widow to me...

John- Ha! My debating has lost me the prize. My wife had bought me a reduced animated style Boba Fett for Christmas but it got broken in the packaging process (How much of a bummer is it to be given a present with the words 'Be careful when you open it, I think they broke it and it may have to go back'?). After a few weeks wait for a replacement I was informed that they no longer do store transfers and had to have my money back. I debated that Obi Wan for a good 10 miniutes before deciding I would deliberate a bit more.

Well done, it's a great piece!

Not familiar with that character, but the costume for the Widow is spot on,
save for the bare hands.
