I somehow missed the Pedigree catalog before. WOW!!! Some of the best presentation Mego ever got.

And what the heck are these? Were they actually made? Was Mego involved?

They got made, pretty sure they're Italian and Mego probably wasn't involved. The catalog has another 8 pages of Super Hero merch from companies like Remco, Funstuf and Larami. If it had a bat logo on it, Pedigree sold it.

Tough Newsletter week when My Patriotic AJ'S make the cut and my Solid Box Aquaman Acquisition falls by the Waist-side lol

They look like the Mego Bend N' Flex and Die-Cast Heroes had kids.

I know that I've seen that Spidey in Italian packaging (basically a cardboard sleeve covering the middle of the figure), and I might have seen the Hulk (unless that's a false memory) but I'm pretty sure I haven't seen the Superman or Batman yet (it's cool that they have cloth capes but boy those face sculpts are pretty goofy!)

Nice newsletter. I loves me some Monster Squad, I don't recall those customs before. I used my Mad Monsters to impersonate the cast. Wonderful Collegeville costumes!

Trivia: Henry Polic II, who memorably played MS Dracula, was also the voice of Batman:TAS' Scarecrow. He died in 2013.

Well they mad She-Hulk, Spiderman, and now apparently Hulk. I wonder who else was made. An Ironman would be cool.

They didn't make a She-Hulk, Comics Spain did though.

Yeah I've seen She-Hulk and Spiderwoman from 1983 they do show up occasionally on a vintage marvel auction search.

The ones from the catalog came in a yellow box I believe, the Hulk has a shirt.

Yeah I meant to post this, must have goofed up the image links.

Yeah, I never expected FTC to make this one!

Lots of stuff I missed this week, somehow. But that's what I love about the newsletter...it keeps me posted!

https://vimeo.com/187255111 I love that Spider-Man ReAnimated! Super entertaining! Even that Mego cameo is great...moreover, there's a not-so-flatteringly-drawn Betty Brant face at one point, where she says nothing, and GOSH, it really cracked me up!
