[palitoy]

Here’s our Daily Mego Adoration for Friday, March 28, 2008:Removable Mask Robin!Perhaps the finest WGSH Mego I have ever owned — and by that, I mean both the toy and its condition — is a Removable Mask Robin, packaged in the rare “1st Window” box (discussed on page 58 of World’s Greatest Toys!).

He's gorgeous. Congratulations Benjamin.

Totally amazing figure. I have one myself, but of course without the original mask (sigh) and no box either. Congrats on such a beauty, Ben

Thanks guys!

While I no longer own the figure — it is in the happy little mitts of a fellow MM board member — I couldn't pass up an opportunity to post some pictures of such a jaw-dropping specimen.

Benjamin I can't imagine being able to trade or sell such a great example :no:

Oh, it really wasn't that hard. The current owner is a great friend who happens to live about 5 miles from my house. I can see Robin any time I like.

Besides, trading is all part of the fun of Mego collecting… just like when we were kids.

Is the box in the blog similar to the one you borrowed from me to at Megomeet when you were taking pics for the book? Cause if it is...I am one happy camper...I can put my RM Robin in the proper box :grin:

I'm afraid not. Your box mentioned above is the 3rd Version ("4-Panel") box; it seems fairly clear that by the time Mego issued that box, RM Robin was fully phased out, in lieue of the Painted Mask. That being said, Luey just sold a RM Robin on the "Kresge Reissue" card, which came out later than I would have expected to see the RM.

To day, no examples of RM Robin in the 4-Panel box (i.e. your box) have surfaced. To be sure, I would only put that figure in the one of the first two boxes (Solid and "1st Window").
