That really brings back some great memories for me. My childhood lined up nicely with the height (IMHO) of Mego. I think getting the Batmobile is one of my earliest Christmas memories. Each holiday season would bring more Mego memories from POTA figures Mad Monsters to the Wayne Foundation. I drifted over to Atari towards 78-79, so I was gone by 2-XL. Childhood Christmas meant the 70's and Christmas in the 70's meant Mego for me!Last edited by Wee67; Dec 17, '18, 4:01 PM.WANTED - Solid-Boxed WGSH's, C.8 or better.Comment

Neat! I had not heard of this site before. Thank you for sharing.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...Comment

Fun for sure!
It’s funny how I never associated something like the 2-XL with the same company that made my beloved action figures.

Very cool list, I had no idea that the 2-XL was such a big seller for Mego.
I feel a bit ripped off, out of the three vehicles, I got the yellow boot, I mean the Batcopter, for Christmas when I was six years old. Oh well, I still loved playing with it (and still have it).Comment

The Batcopter was the one I didn't ask for, I wasn't a picky kid but I think I was spoiled by the GI Joe Capture Copter.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

Oh yeah, no comparison between those two copters! I don't recall asking for any of the Mego vehicles (not even sure if I was aware of them at the time!). My parents probably just saw it in the toy store and thought "Chris should like this, he likes Batman". My parents never exactly had their finger on the pulse of my toy wants, but hey, they tried.Comment
