    Who else started with a plastic jointed Action Jackson?

    I started my MEGO collection with a brown haired plactic jointed Action Jackson, which I still have.

    I was wondering who else started down the MEGO trail with a plastic jointed
    AJ?

    Count me among those whose first Mego figure was also an AJ.

    It started me down this long and wonderful road.

      My first AJ was a type one. I didn't see a snap-together body until the '90s.

        Not me. My collection started with Dr.McCoy and Green Arrow.

          My first was a 12" movie version Superman....
          "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"

          In the Southeast Pacific, lies the sunken city of R'Leyh. There lies C'thulhu waits to return to our world with the other Great Old Ones. A hideous creature of enormous size and alien power, it waits for it's time to return patiently. For it has all the time in the world while it waits for the stars.

            My first was a black AJ w/ rivets.

              My first was Spiderman!!!

              I don't think I ever had an Action Jackson (as a child) -- but I found a superman wearing an AJ jumpsuit in my attic (so go figure).

                Do you still have him? I don't remember ever seeing a black type one hand that wasn't an ape hand.

                  Nope, I'm afraid not. I had 2 black AJs, one at age 5, (in '71) and one at age 6,(in '72) before the POTA figs came out, so they had regular hands.

                        My first Megos were the Removable Cowl Batman and Removable Mask Robin! AJ did come along shortly thereafter, though.

                          I started with AJ, but for the life of me, I don't remember whether my first ones had plastic rivits or not. I remember having a lot of metal rivet ones though.

                            Can't remember if I got the AJ first or Spidey. Cap was third and then got a Batman. Had the AJ heli-backpack that I flew all over the house. Then I diversified into Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars, Hot Wheels, GI Joe's Baseball cards, girls, etc. Girls were much more difficult but much like my toys very hard to give up.
                            It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                              My first mego figure was a Blond bearded AJ with dark blue jump suit and the second was a Black Hair with Beard AJ with a Light blue suit.
