mego corp needs to do an updated 2-XL in app form

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!

Great list! I remember finding the Batmobile under the tree at a VERY young age!

Fun list! 2-XL won Christmas that year.

YES! Great idea! Say, for that matter, could Mego Corp do a 8 inch scale 2-XL?

With little tiny eight track tapes?

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

Fun list. I hadn't heard of 2-XL at all until I bought Bonavida's guide 20 years ago.

[EmergencyIan]

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.

Having a new Mego Spock on the scene Christmas morning will be a fun reentry into the collection.

It's a wonderful site and hey, they pay me to do stuff like this so i'm especially grateful to them.

Very cool list, I had no idea that the 2-XL was such a big seller for Mego.

Great list! I remember finding the Batmobile under the tree at a VERY young age!

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).

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.

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.
