Mint Off Card: Mego Atlas Comics Figures Unboxing

[@jmstater]

Love that Grim Ghost figure. In terms of a wave 2 - Iron Jaw and Scorpion come immediately to mind.

[@YAMISOOLD2009]

Seeing your mini history and those covers brings back memories of comics I once had but then forgot. I had that same Tirgerman and that same Targett. I love the look of these new figures. Great video!

[@spidey-67]

This gives me hope someday we’ll see a line based on Charlton Comics. A Mego E-Man and Nova Kane would be spectacular

[@BrickMantooth]

I'd dig all that!

[@chrisware6324]

That would be unbelievable! Peacemaker, the question, captain atom as well

[@spidey-67]

@@chrisware6324 don’t forget Nightshade!

[@brunobillion3435]

@@chrisware6324 That would be in the DC line though, since those characters were bought by DC back in the eighties

[@chrisware6324]

@ true enough for the question but I was thinking the more the ditko than the pat Broderick captain atom. Similarly I guess I just have missed the dc revival of the peacemaker in the eighties. But you’re right tis all about the licensing!

[@chrishight6598]

Mego's involvement with Atlas is the first I'm hearing of this company. Beautiful figures.

[@67nearmint]

The head sculpt on Devilina is next level!

[@LeutyMatt77]

Love your content and you present it so well. The production value is fantastic

[@BrickMantooth]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

So badass of you to get the actual Marty Abrahams to unveil this series, it's unprecedented!😂❤

[@customgod]

Awesome video! I'd love to get those figures.

[@harveywittii9323]

I have to admit I hadn’t heard of Atlas/seaboard comic book company before. I did see the Introduction about the MEGO/Atlas comics toy line. So I hope they arrive at the stores

[@rustyvonhammerdown9054]

Wave 2 choices? Tiger-Man, The Destructor, and The Scorpion (either reiteration). The Atlas Kolchak wasn't Tiger-Man, it was The Cougar. :)

[@BrickMantooth]

too many...cat..names....blacking...out....

[@sneakyskunk1]

I can't tell you how much fun it has been to watch the Plaid Stallions enjoying the Mego revival. The cherry on the cupcake was the mini-history lesson on Atlas comics. That bit of tape on Devilina's foot at the end had me cracking up for some reason. An enjoyable video, as always!

[@BrickMantooth]

Heh, I have a little bubble in my backdrop, and while it isn't usually a big problem, but she refused to stand on it.

[@CarbonScoring]

these look absolutely gorgeous!

[@danieldickholtz6405]

BTW, Tiger-Man was a straight-up super-hero, a masked vigilante with tiger-like abilities. The Jaguar was the one who was inspired by Kolchak: The Night Stalker; he's a Hollywood stuntman who kept the costume he wore in a superhero movie handy for when he has to encounter a vampire in his first issue and a werewolf in his second (and last).

[@BrickMantooth]

Yeah I got my Atlas cat superheroes mixed up didn't i?

[@MrAdam-dh6kx]

Wow great figures and unboxing. Thanks for the video buddy. Much respect.

[@Tonydash23]

Wow! Forgot all about Planet of the Vampires, great suggestion

[@ivane5110]

I definitely wasn't too young for this company's debut but I vaguely remember it. But after college I eventually ended up coming across them and reading every since one of their colored comic line. Some had promise in my eyes (like Target and Destructor) some were definitely not my cup of tea but either way still nice to see it get the Mego treatment especially Phoenix in this costume version. They really picked good ones to do. Hope a few more come out, like Brute or Tigerman, or maybe Morlock 's 2 forms as a double pack. Destructor and Target were good looks, but they had 2 or 3 each (one fod each appearance if I recall) so I'm curious which theyd go with or if they figure on swapable heads and then just come out with the alternate costumes as a clothes sale option like GI Joe use to.

[@t.s.180]

As much as I hate Walmart I’ve got to have The Grim Ghost. I’d kill to have them do the first iteration of The Scorpion if Howard Chaykin is on board with it.

[@jamiepike6909]

They look amazing. Love Arrow as you can legitimately get a full collection of comics❤

[@gordonlong3095]

First, I don’t know anything about the Atlas Seaboard characters, but I do have friends who think they are awesome. However, these four starter Mego AS characters are mega-incredible. I like Phoenix, he’s suggests a cross between Iron Man and DC’s Cyborg, but Devilina’s cloak and Grim Ghost’s outfit *REALLY* draw me in… and Hands is so clearly a 3-way cross between Spidey, Robin, and Shang Chi, he screams to join my Mego collection. I’ve never had any of the WGSH collection and am so spoiled by the SF, Fantasy, & Horror lines (Trek, Apes, Oz, Universal, Hammer, etc), I’ve never really wanted Superhero Megos… but these four… are calling me… WOW

[@noman6041]

Ahh, i fondly remember the Atlas line and had most of them. I don't get why they would waste time making figures of characters that only lasted one issue [Hands of The Dragon] They should just concentrate on the longer lasting characters who at least made it to issue #3. [Grim Ghost, The Scorpion, Tiger-Man, The Tarantula] but i guess they needed enough characters to make a 'line' from. These better be available retail, i want the Grim Ghost figure!

[@paolomongon6616]

I'm really impressed! I do still wish the current bandless bodies are a bit taller...but this is Mego heading in the right direction.

[@captlazer5509]

These look cool! Wave 2 my pick would be Man Stalker because he looks like a cross between Captain America and a ninja.

[@lazer-ape]

These four look perfect. Mego couldnt have done these characters anymore justice than they did, the entire wave is just a 10 out of 10.

[@JONNYSORENSEN_AU]

fun releases

[@Scottyx0x]

Since the reveal a few weeks ago from you, now every time I see the atlas logo, I saw it a lot this past weekend flipping through comic boxes at a toy show now I stop to look at the actual book. See if it was one of these characters. Good days ahead I think.

[@lostonwallace1396]

Grim Ghost is cool, but I really wanted a few different characters than these. These are fine, but I'd rather have seen the Tarantula character as a Mego figure. The first issue of that comic book floored me as a kid! I also liked the Destructor, and would have liked to have seen him. Can't go wrong with a Ditko/Wood creation. Bog Beast and the Brute would be cool too! Both are not the typical kind of stock figure that Mego would want to tackle, I'm sure, but they were amongst my favorites. Iron Jaw for sure was great! He'd look fab as well!

[@travishiltz4750]

Those are some great looking figures! The love the group shot. makes them look like the cover of a hero team comic. My wave 2 list: Scorpion (the golden age adventurer one) Ironjaw The Brute morlock 2001

[@kirktingblad6667]

One of the best single comics of the 70’s is THE SCORPION #1

[@benway23]

Thank you for your work.

[@keng.2468]

I can't believe we are getting a Devilina figure.

[@nicksauer937]

My four would be Tiger Man, Destructor, The Tarantula (who would be a super cool figure) , and Iron Jaw as he was the only character to make five issues.

[@thrdgll1]

FYI, your photo of "Martin Goodman" is Roy Thomas.

[@chrisbeck9011]

Any word on Canadian availability?

[@Scotty-Z70]

i bought the PHOENIX comic as a kid thinking it was somehow related to X-Men's Phoenix

[@lazer-ape]

Destructor desperately needs a figure. I'd rush out to buy a wave consisting of him, man-monster, the brute, and morlock!

[@Bucky749]

There two atlas novels as out I have pics on my community page if you wanna see him

[@KITZIL-MASKE]

The original " GRAY GHOST" is the THE PHANTOM from LEE FALK.

[@danielvallely7904]

Planet of the Vampires, the Scorpion, Wulf and IronJaw would be my choices, but lets face it, we'll never see any of these in the UK....

[@Diabolik771]

Why didn't they do Destructor?

Planet of Vampires characters!

@@brunobillion3435 I’m doomed, preordered them all already….

[@KAPTKipper]

Grey Ghost? ?

[@lazer-ape]

I'm a little disappointed to hear these are the four characters they'll be trying to push into media projects as I was really partial to Destructor, Morlock 2001, and Man-Monster myself. Ghost and Dragon are the only two of this line up I feel hopefully optimistic about. Here's hoping they do those two justice.

[@davezenz]

Ironjaw!

[@Bucky749]

Iron jaw and there police character with a hot dog

[@ZOMb2010]

Sad that this toy line is made only for the US Collector…Canada will never see this line up here.Don’t tell me I can have it shipped..nope..after shipping and lousy Exchange rate it is not worth it!!

[@joemartin5669]

Devilina is disappointing.she needed to be in her bikini outfit

[@rkay7]

The Devilina figure is odd in that it doesn't look like any version of her within the couple of issues or house ads that I've seen. And just out of curiosity, I wonder what the comic included with her reprints? Both her stories from her magaizine (since there were other one-off horror stories within those)?

[@gesticulato]

Hello, chouette vidéo comme toujours. J’avoue que j’ai parfois cette musique dans la tête, dans ces moments où je range mes figurines, les manipule, trie mes boîtes ou ouvre un colis avec une nouvelle commande: oui, la musique des saynètes amusantes, quand les jouets deviennent un peu plus fous! Mais bref: mon choix ira d’abord à IRON JAW, bien sûr, surtout si Mego investit dans une mâchoire articulée, dans le genre du Trap Jaw des MOTU, et parce que je pense qu’il ira bien avec mon CONAN le barbare Mego vintage (auquel il manque les deux tiers des accessoires, snif). Et parce que cet IRON JAW est aussi un personnage dont les aventures ont été publiées en France, fin 70s, en grand album sur non papier chez l’éditeur LUG (spécialisé historiquement ici dans la traduction de l’univers Marvel et de quelques autres séries). Oui, bon, c’est un peu niais mais quand on connaît déjà un personnage on a envie de le voir « en vrai », de pouvoir le toucher, etc. En second, ou sur la même ligne de désir, j’aimerais bien découvrir ce que MEGO ferait de TARENTULA. J’ai découvert ce personnage il y a presque 20 ans, quand j’ai commencé d’acheter à l’étranger sur eBay, et particulièrement chez MileHighComics USA. Ce n’était pas cher, les Charlton, Atlas, quelques Dell et vieux DC dont j’aime les couvertures avant tout. Alors cette araignée humaine, même si elle ne remplit pas toutes les attentes, son apparence de monstre liée aux vêtements civils ou à un costume plus SF-esque, ses gros yeux globuleux et impassibles: oui! Il ira très bien avec mes figurines de THE FLY, avec les professeurs fous, les super-héros bizarres et le petit peuple costumé de mes dioramas ou étagères. En tout cas, continuez bien et vivement les Mego re-Marvel!

Praying to the higher action figure powers that be that one day they'll finally just give Star Wars over to me go and we'll get the Star Wars figures we really deserved
