    The "rarest" WGSH

    Over the past month I've been searching for different Mego action figures. I've pretty much completed a POTA set and have started to move into other lines such as WGSH. I've picked up a couple but 2 that I have been looking for are eluding me due to price and "scarcity": Aquaman and Tarzan. Are these two truly rare and "hard to find"? There seems to be no shortage of original Superman, Batman, Shazam, Captain America, Spider-Man, Robin, but those two seem to be in short supply.

    both are fairly common figures. Maybe just recently they haven't been as abundant as they usually are but give it a little time and I'm sure you'll score on both.

        I'm staying away from anything MOC as far as Megos go. I just can't afford them.

          Aquaman is pretty easy to get...but add that Great White shark with him and then you're talking about hard to get.......When you're new to Megos it's always best to buy Loose ones first.This way you get into it slowly before you decide if you want to get them Boxed or carded....

              Funny thing is that I've see more RC Batman figures than Tarzan and Aquaman on eBay in the past month. But in all fairness, half of the RC Batman figures were repros.

                I've found getting a loose minty Aquaman is kind of tough. He shows up in figure lots, all the time, but his outfit most of the time is trashed ... the fin things are ripped off his legs, and they almost always have a hole in the foot, the black from the shorts color runs into the green on the legs and the orange of the shirt ... He can be a headache.

                When a nice one shows up, the bidders sure can bid

                  it's always hard to find that one figure when you're looking for it and then once you have one, that figure pops up everywhere!!!

                    Not to mention cheaper and in much better condition too! Life is cruel sometimes with irony like that.

                      It has become quite clear to me that the "rarest" WGSH is which ever one I happen to be trying to lay my hands on at that moment.

                          Tha's a pretty cool feature. I'd have to say that Superman should be closer to 2 or even a 1 though.

                            Maybe. Plenty of Superman figures around, but not many with the original emblem. I'm willing to bet it's that little sticker that makes all the difference.

                              Those dang stickers! I recently purchased a T-1 Superman and 2 T-2 Shazam figures and both have repro stickers. And the sellers did warn me in advance.
