Yeah, that too. Besides, it's easier to overlook the clothing on the Mego figures because NECA is clearly taking a slight tongue-in-cheek approach with their designs...the figures are detailed and screen-accurate, yes, but they're also supposed to look a tiny bit cheesy as a homage to 70's toys, and NECA struck the right balance when it comes to that.

That's NOT what Mezco is going for...this is supposed to be a legit serious figure and the approach they took cheapened it. Add in the price differences, and yeah...NECA wins all the way.
