      If you're talking about all megos including foreign then I'd say a Palitoy carded Captain America.

        That's almost impossible to find. There's only one that surfaced so far

          For me, it's foreign exclusives. I'm setting my sights on Popy figures.

                Sometimes as a collector I feel jaded, and sometimes frustrated. I've missed out on two items on my grail list and probably will never nab them--you know those times when you indulge in feeling a little sorry for yourself, but it's not the end of the world.

                But this week, amidst a rough project at work, I obtained a Peter Parker sweater! What a rush of excitement, I haven't been that thrilled since I received a Screech game. It really brought back the feelings I had when I began re-collecting Megos ten years ago.
                WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

                        For me it's the end run purple boxed 12" Batman. I'll probably never find one and if I do it will likely be too rich for my blood.

                          Please tell me more about this one. Is it a Canadian issue or was it also issued in the US or anywhere else for that matter. After 20 years I'm still learning more and more about Megos

                            These were the last 12" figures Mego produced (I believe) that consisted of magnetic Batman and Robin on non-magnetic bodies and they were US releases. The Batman is extremely hard to find (usually considered to be the rarest 12" Mego) and the Robin is only a bit less rare because there was a small find in South America in the 90's (not sure how they ended up there!). You can see pics of both near the bottom of this gallery page:

                              Yeah they were the last versions of 12" Batman and Robin. They are featured in the 1980 catalog and clearly no longer are magnetic. They were a tiny run.

                                It figures, the ones I like the best are the most scarce.

                                Of course, now that we have the 14", the kitbashing possibilities with incomplete vintage figures is tantalizing, hmmm...
