Mego Reveals G.I. Joe Figure Line (VIDEO)
Mego has announced a new collaboration with Hasbro to make G.I. Joe figures in the classic Mego style.
During a live online presentation Thursday evening (and featured below), Mego founder Marty Abrams revealed the first two figures in the line, Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow.
The figures feature their classic look as seen in the 1980s comic books, cartoons, and action figures. They will be sold in a 2-pack exclusively on the Hasbro Pulse website. It ships in the fall and costs $59.99. It can be ordered by clicking on this link.
The figures will be the first to feature the new bandless body molds and will include 14 accessories.
Abrams provided no additional details on the line’s future, but said the possibility of additional G.I. Joe characters is possible.
The listing on Hasbro Pulse also lists these features:
- Legendary Hasbro characters in a nostalgic, 8-inch-scale Mego style
- Premium Hasbro attention to detail
- Detailed helmet sculpt and paint hits honor the OG characters
- Removeable, premium soft-goods ninja costume pieces with character-inspired detailing
