BIG LOTS: 50TH ANNIVERSARY MEGO VARIANT FIGURES !!!! BATMAN, SUPERMAN, ROBIN AND THE JOKER !!! 

Robiin’s mask looks better than the 2022 mask. If only I had the necessary funds! The Max Fleischer Superman looks outstanding.

Honestly, they should just nicely paint a black mask across Robin's eye's. It looks like a sleep mask on his face.

The only Superman I actually like is the old Max Fleischer one from the '40s (mostly out of nostalgia, every other Superman I don't give two hoots about), so I'm always a sucker for when they give him the Fleischer logo & belt.

I wonder why Batman got the oven mitts but Robin did not? They should've paired them better by giving Batman hands with gauntlets as well.

The Big Lots Robin has a glossy mask and the repro Robin has a matte mask.

Found all 4 in Northwest Indiana in the action figures section but hidden. I was just about to give up but noticed them as I was leaving the action figures section.

Just bought all these variants from Amazon Canada for just under $17 Can dollars. They all came in today. I know they are slightly different from the originals I had as a kid but I love the little changes. Still give me huge feelings of nostalgia.

There's a video on RU-vid where the Mego guys talk some about these figures before they hit stores. Big Lots came to them wanting to carry the 50th figures but they wanted something different thus the variant costumes. Said that to get these to stores for the holidays there was no time to change the box art, the only difference between these boxes and the standard are the product numbers, assortment number and the barcodes under the Big Lots sticker. There was no time to come up with new patterns for the outfits and that's why Robin has the green hands with fabric cuffs, the outfit design is reuse from a previously released Neal Adams style Robin (fun fact, the head from that Robin is reused for the 50th Nightwing). While I have to admit that the Joker with the gloves looks really good for being such a slight change, I kind of wish they'd done another hero instead. Could've swapped Aquaman's oven mitts for yellow ones since he wore yellow gloves for the first 21 years he was published or they could've put black boots on him like 60s Filmation's animation. A Green Lantern variant could've used the same costume with their existing John Stewart head. Captain Marvel could've had a proper yellow-trimmed white cape and the cuffed boots. Green Arrow could've been done in his green and red golden age outfit. If they just had to do a villain, they had suit patterns and could've given Riddler the Frank Gorshin suit look.

Fleischer Superman should have a different head sculpt with a big curly Q on his forehead.

FINALLY found most of them, except the Joker. Barely got the ones I found! Cannot for the life of me understand why they only put these at Big Lots. I'd made several trips out to find them over the last 2 months, kind of a pain in the ass.

I have got to have these DC figures & Marcel the DC Justice league Batman Spider-Man SuperMan,Ironman captain america, Wonder woman Strom she hulk so fourth and so on.

So the 1960’s Mego Batman and Robin variant figures have the heads of Adam West and Burt Ward under the cowl and mask???

I went to two Big Lots Yesterday and had no luck. I didn't look in the Christmas section though. I just looked up front because they had some other toys and in the back in the toy section. I only am interested in buying the Batman, Robin and Joker figure because they are my favorite. I'm not really a big Superman fan. I'm going to be with my brother tomorrow ànd am going to ask him if we can hit some more Big Lots and maybe I might have some luck. I am handicapped and don't drive , so I have to rely on others to take me places.

morons putting that sticker on there. as even the back of the box to me is key. i like the robin that is not big lots the best. as it reminds me of my og robin mego. that i still have. i do got all the new mego here thar are not the big lots. robin og mego looking figure. the non biglots one. is the best superhero ever. robin was always my favorite over batman or any other super hero. still is. and i love batman. i got a life size batman in my living room.

I like the Big Lots Superman cape better. It doesn't go all the way across his neck in the front.

I found all 4 on the toy isle, went back the next day to get the display box but everything was gone.

The Dust on Batman is killing me I tried to wipe it of my phone several times.😂

HI MIB! I hope everything is will with you and your family. I'd love chance to get to talk to you again.

The belt on my 50th batman cracked in half, and I didn't even open it.

I haven’t yet tried to go in my local Biglots how hard these to find ?

Seems like you found a small treasure.

I just want the joker. Will be on the hunt tomorrow

There is no sign of big lots figures here in Dayton, ohio

Awesome content brother I got the Batman 🦇 but missed the others I’d love to find robin some day I got my Batman at Walmart thou which still has aqua man

You've been say Fleischer correctly.

This may be your best video ever!!! The comparison you do is so valuable to our community Thankful you got these for the Museum God Bless MIB!

M.I.B., what a great video! I love how you compare the original versions with the variants side-by-side. Great stuff as always. My favorite of these 4 is the Superman, even though I'm a bigger fan of Batman. I like the Batman 50th Anniversary figures, but I just really prefer the painted on cowl over the removable cowl. But again...fantastic work, M.I.B.!

Hi MIB. I have a bit of a problem. I just got the Mego Green Lantern from Amazon. I opened the box and tried to move the arms but they were stiff and wouldn't bend at the elbow. When I took off the costume I noticed there was a joint there so I believe it's supposed to bend. I checked The Flash and Superman I have and it's the same thing. Is this normal for these? Aren't the arms supposed to bend like the legs? Is there something that I can do to soften them up without breaking them? I'd like to order a bunch more but not if they're all like this. Have you encountered this?

How much do they cost?

Have big lots near me in Fl still not found them yet.

Great video buddy. It's been a struggle for me trying to find them. I've been to 3 stores in my town and even checked at two more stores in a town 140 miles away and nothing. I can see buying all four, but to take the entire stock has been frustrating for collectors trying to get their hands on them. All in all it is what it is. First come first serve. Gotta keep trying.

Found my set at Big Lots a couple days ago. They also let me have the display box. This Big Lots didn’t attach those security stickers on mine, thankfully!

Awesome figures I have to find those bad boys!!!!

These are all amazing variants but the standout for me has got to be the Fleischer Superman. It looks amazing. Keep the ☕ on & thanks for another great review at my favourite weekend hangout, the M.I.B. museum. Cheers. M.l.B.

Picked some up at big lots. I can confirm that they aren’t in the toy section. They were up front with the holiday gifts/decorations. I also grabbed the card board display box they came in as well.

Hi MIB , great video! I think numbers on the boxes indicate that these variants were created in order with the prior 50th anniversary Mego figures. If you look at the others you got months ago, they may have higher numbers. What I’m saying that these 4 were planned along the same time, but apparently retailer interest wasn’t there for them until big lots ordered them in the US and Walmart and Amazon in Canada. My set of big lots figures do not have the security stickers on them, perhaps the store you bought them from is having an extraordinary shoplifting problem. Stickers on collectibles is unfortunate. I really like these figures, I think they have a great alternative look to the retro figures, including the Joker with purple hands.

nice MIB ,i got this set as well ,mine did not have the security stickers ,but the bottom of the box did have a big lots tag ,does yours set , in addition to jokers hands ,his sleeves are a bit longer then the retro ,which looks better ,the retro coat is slightly small ,i like the close in look ,however to much time spent on robins crotch area -HaHaHa !! thanx for sharing ,your the best

Great video brother awesome figures, I have a big lot about 2 miles away, gonna venture out and try to get these. God bless 😊

Wow, that bat logo on the original is obnoxiously large.... and you are a natural salesman, now i definitely need to get these!
