What was the last Mego Superhero you bought as a kid?

[TRDouble]

1984, I was at my comic shop and I had been eyeing a 12" Batman and 9" Robin for a while. So, one day I decided it was time to pull the trigger between those (I forget how much they were total, but more than retail, obviously) or Giant-Sized X-Men #1.

I want to say the Mego dolls were cheaper than the comic, or it was that I could never justify to my Mom paying $40 for a comic book (which I think was the value at the time), so the Mego dolls it was!

Of course, I wish I grabbed that X-Men comic, but who knows what condition I would have kept it in (bagged, but probably stored wrong). I still have my Mego Batman & Robin though, in the boxes (but removed more than a few times!).

Teen Titans at Lord and Taylor in Lakeside Mall. They had a small toy section. It was the only place I ever saw them.

Wow lakeside Mall in Sterling heights.
Did you get em?

I think that's part of being a kid is hanging out at boring stores and and clinging onto the smallest thing that captures your interest. I know the days of buying comic back issues or little big books at antique malls.

Yes, Lakeside was brand new back then.

8 inch Bo and Luke Duke. Why in the world didn’t Mego make a General Lee for 8 inch figures.

Giant mistake

They were on their last leg at that point so it probably wasn't a concern. The 1:18 General Lee is pretty sweet tho. A bigger complaint would be why mego made 12" Draco but not Wilma Deering. Blink and you miss Draco in the Buck Rogers pilot film.

This thread made me realize that I never bought a Mego, Superhero or otherwise, as a kid. That's because I had two aunts that made sure I never had to (come birthdays and Christmas or just a visit). I was the first grandkid on that side of the family and they were in High School and College when I was into toys, so they got to play, too. We lost my Aunt Deb last fall and when I talked to my Uncle at her memorial, he was laughing about how much she loved to spoil me when I was a kid. He got no argument from me on that point.

One of the last probably the last .was in 1981 .i bought another Isis.this one I said .ill just leave it in the package..one of my brothers going through my megos ripped it open for some reason.which he knew I had a loose one.so I still have it .its just of the package got trashed..but I bought another one a few years ago on card so no biggie.

Great idea for a thread. I clearly remember getting a Spider-man at an indoor car show in Buffalo in 1979. I was 13, and felt very self consciousness about buying a toy, particularly an action figure, at that age. I still remember the guy had a bunch of them in bags. They must have fallen off the cards or he took them off the cards for space reasons as they were in new condition.

incredible hulk at toys r us

Early 90s I think, French carded Mr Fantastic and Hulk at Children's Palace. I know I was at least 20 and I was born in 69. Children's Palace had a wall of them and Batman and Spiderman which my brother bought.

Back in the day it was Ironman and Lizard.

Hahaha that's funny my mom my aunt my cousin and myself went to Kmart back in the mid 70s and lo and behold there was about a hundred Mr. Mxy's!!! They were all on markdown for like $0.98 or something. my mother bought me one and my aunt bought my two cousins one each. I didn't even want him I said who in the heck is this fat guy? but I'm glad she bought it for me because I still have him after all these years in my collection!!!
