World's Greatest Super School Supplies

[RSS]

I found this ruler on Ebay a few months ago, i collect Superhero school supplies (sorry ladies, I'm spoken for) but the more interesting thing to me was the hi-jacking of the Mego World's Greatest Superheroes packaging art.


Many of these images were specifically drawn by Mego and didn't appear on other company products, while the seller told me it was a foreign mail in promo, I was leaning towards knock off.





Leave it my buddy Rob over at the Aquaman Shrine to solve this mystery without even being asked. He submitted this, a packaged Aquaman pencil sharpener using the same art. That's some unlicensed Hong Kong goodness there....

I Love the school supplies...I have the folders, a couple of sharpeners, several pencil bags and a Shazam pencil box. Always wanted to rulers, but I've never seen this one with the Mego art...cool

Incredible! I've never seen anything like these. Of course given the 70's, the heyday of knockoffs, it's not hard to fathom something of this nature. Very cool find!!

Wow, that's neat. Didn't someone make some weird radios using the Mego packaging artwork too?

I have a Mead binder with the cover for Avengers 141. I had it when I was a kid and lost it, then found a replacement in the 90s.

Great find, I never saw that ruler before. Definitely a knock off but still cool to see an item with Mego artwork on it.

Those are really cool!

Well, I'll be looking for that ruler now.
