    Do all mego wgsh have copyright on the back of their heads

    I picked up a Superman head in great condition for $6.00 and when I received it, it turned out to be a Clark Kent Alter Ego head. There were no markings on the neck.

    ORIGINAL MEGO HEAD: SUPERMAN - (eBay item 110174595818 end time Sep-26-07 16:00:58 PDT)

    Not bad for $6.00 if I do say so myself...

        The lack of markings on the neck does not necessarily mean it came from an AE.

            I was always under the impression that only the AE's came with no markings on the neck. Which other's could it be?

              It certainly looks like the correct skin tone for an AE head.
              Congrats! Nice pickup.

                From my experience, and please note that I was AE obsessed for several years, some AEs do have markings on the neck, and some regular heroes (Bats, Supes, and RM Robin) can be found without markings or with faint markings.

                Sorry, I don't mean to be a joykiller.

                I am interested in other opinions on this topic. Brain? Chatlin? Anthony?

                  I've seen Secret Identities with markings and without, and I've also seen regular heroes with and without markings. Mego undoubtedly had more than one mold for each head, and someone apparently forgot to engrave one or more. I certainly wouldn't turn down a complete Clark Kent with copyright info on his neck.

                    Again, and this is fact~ Peter Parker is the only AE head to offically have no markings. Markings were removed Because a DC Character(Shazam) was used for a Marvel head(Peter Parker) How can I be the only oe who knows this for sure?

                    Bruce, Dick, and Clark are acceptable with or without markings~ Skin color does not matter either~ An early head is an early head~

                    I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade, you could probably still sell the head on E-bay for $20.00 -$30.00 as an early Mego Head or AE HEAD~ Somone will buy it~

                    Not trying to be a jerk this time~

                      Oh, you're not the only one, John. I just wanted someone else to substantiate my thoughts on the subject.

                        Well you are substantiated there Dan~ As much as it pains me to say I belive ABMAC is completely right~ Mego had more than 1 set of molds. Just kidding with you Abbie~ Abbie Abbie BoFabbie Something Something Something Flabbie~ ABBIE~

                        C'mon that was pretty good

                          That's great info guys. I'm not bummed out at all. I was actually looking for a clean Superman head and $6 is not a bad price for one. So, AE or not, I'm happy with the purchase.

                          Besides, I do have all the original AE's so I'm cool there.

                          Just when I thought I had this whole AE thing licked...

                          Oh well... you learn somthing new every day.

                          Thanks again

                            Do all mego wgsh have copyright on the back of their heads

                            Hello I have a shazam and his head has no copyright. It is not a peter parker head because his eyes are black not blue and it is not repro either. I was just wondering if there are some wgsh heads with no copyright on the back. Thanks.
