    Are these prices first real???

    Hey pals and gals...so while I scour Target for the latest New Mego offerings..
    I decided to plan my quest to obtain vintage Megos.
    I found a bunch of "MIB" Wizard of Oz figures for less than $30 each. Here is a link for an example...https://www.ebay.com/itm/MIB-Vintage...ty!60641!US!-1
    Has anyone bought anything from this seller?
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Wizard of Oz was embraced by doll collectors, even in the middle 1970s. That has left a dearth of MIB figures even today and it makes the basic figures quite affordable.

      Awesome...good to know. I loved these as a kid, and while the new lion looks exceptional...I'm still on the fence because of Dorothy from the two pack. And Lord knows how they'll handle the Tin-Man.....

        I myself am a little worried about the Tin Man and expect a soft-goods approach. Cf. Mattel's Ken as Tin Man.

          The vintage are easy to collect. I have a tin man I'm trying to sell, but if he doesn't, his value might be greater as parts for a custom. I can def. use him for Doctor Doom or something.
          Looking for Green Arrow accessories, Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver, and Japanese Popy Megos (Battle Cossack and France, Battle of the Planets, Kamen Rider, Ultraman) and World Heroes figures

            They are affordable, which is terrific because they are lovely dolls. In fact, next to WGSH, Mego's Oz toys were my childhood favorites.

            And as B-Lister notes, they've provided an incredible amount of custom fodder over the decades.

                I decided to pass on the Mego Munchkins--I like the playset but not the dolls. Their price made them easy to forego, too. But I bought all of the Barbie Munchkins : They are beautifully made and coordinate very well with the Mego line.

                  Basically, the Oz line was really popular and Mego made like a bajillion of them. Except for the Munchkins, the majority of them are super common. They were also collected more by adult doll and Oz collectors, than kids, which is why they are still so plentiful MIB.
                  You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                    Every line has its scare gems, though--Munchkinland and the witch's castle are terrific. The print format for the castle is unique amongst Mego play-sets; I really like it.

                      To be clear I'm not knocking the line. I have a full set of the dolls minus the Munchkins which I don't care for. I think the Oz dolls are some of Mego's best work. You can really tell they put a lot of money and effort into them.

                        I'm noticing the same low prices on the EMCE Star Trek line.
                        I had to sell mine a few years back.
                        Now I have been picking them all back up for $30 and less.

                          My local comic/ action figure shop in Toronto has 3 of the 4 boxed Mego Munchkins in stock ... They're so darned cute!

                            Yeah...I'm not sure about the munchkins..I'm not too impressed with them. But I vividly remember having the Lion and Tin-man when I was a kid.
                            Again tho ..I have some real concern over how they'll handle him in the new line. I mean the lion looks amazing in his new suit. But painted on socks for Dorothy and that frickin basket and Toto combo is just plain sad looking. I'd need to be convinced the Witch would be worth it to buy that set.
                            I am hoping that they do the Winkie guards and flying Monkeys as a two pack...now that...I'd buy a bunch of...

                            C'mon Marty...give us some winged simians to harass our heroes.
