This is the figure that set off MEGO MANIA stage two! Every Mego maniac was ecstatic when Mattel released this Marty Collector figure... If you only have one Mego re-make... it should be this one. This is the first issue Matty Collector Green Arrow figure that was released in 2009.  It was a mail order club exclusive.  The mailer box is sealed top and bottom and it is in near mint to mint condition.  It is factory fresh as delivered by Mattel.  It is a one owner item and factory sealed on top and bottom.  It has never been on display or opened (some pictures show the item revealed for your viewing... your item is factory sealed in the white mailer box and then mint on sealed card inside).  You are also getting an amazing front-side and back-side custom color glossy.  They are both placed into a rigid toploader for display.  You might choose to make a custom cardback for your figure or simply display the super high resolution custom glossy pictures in the toploader.  They are awesome and will be beautiful to display with the white mailer.   This is a great deal for a wonderful price.  Please kindly ask any questions before bidding.  We will ship with great care.  Have a fun and safe week!  Thanks again for stopping by the auction.

Mattel Retro-Action Green Arrow 8" Figure REVIEW

The first action figure from the Mattel "Retro-Action: DC Super Heroes" line debuted as an exclusive on the Mattycollector website. Mattel launched the '70s mego style 8" cloth-type DC superhero figures with Green Arrow on December 15, 2009. You could say Green Arrow is part of wave 1 but he actually came before wave 1. He led the charge as it were.

It is most interesting that Mattel launched the "Retro-Action: DC Super Heroes" line with Green Arrow, of all the superheroes in the DC Universe. Green Arrow isn't even one of the more popular figures in the comics, at least not in my book. Perhaps it all goes back to the past. 

In the mid 1970's, when Mego's "World's Greatest Superheroes" were popular, so was the character of Green Arrow in the comics. As a result of Green Arrow's popularity, Mego decided to add him to the Mego toy line. He was also the last 8-inch DC superhero that Mego produced and many fans and collectors contend that the 1975 Green Arrow figure was Mego's best figure in the entire line. 

Fast forward to the year 2009 (that's a span of 34 years) - Mattel decided to take on the World's Greatest Superheroes (only the DC versions) and Green Arrow became the first figure of this revived line.

Green Arrow comes in an additional white mailer box (since it's a mail-away piece) with the Retro-Action logo as well as Green Arrow's name on the box. Plain and simple one-color printing job on white box.
