^ I think what perpetuated the belief for Doom is the artwork Mego used for Iron Man didn't have the Iron Nose, so why did the figure?
As for the line continuation, I think we can directly blame the Ben Cooper "Action Figures" Jiggler's ad from the late 70's/early 80's as being the source of the Mandela Effect. That ad was written to read as if they were Mego's and had the head art for Red Skull and Strange (IIRC). I was dead convinced they were WGSH but never pulled the trigger on an order. It wasn't until Pali did his PS page that I put the two together.
I've tended to believe the chatter came from the Cartoon/Comics/Toys crossroads. For example, All-New was '77 while Challenge o/t Super Friends and FF were '78. If I was at HB, I would've pressed DC to get Marty to make GL and Flash. If I was Stan, I would've begged for a Doom and Loki. I have to believe Mego had artwork on hand for all these characters, but at the same time, it doesn't mean it went anywhere.
