This is something I've come to understand about myself, I love the Mego Superheroes very much. They're childhood pals and I've spent my adult life compiling and collecting window boxes, solid boxes, Kresge cards and really digging the foreign stuff.
There's just one thing I don't collect:
Regular carded WGSH.
I no longer own a single example of these. I've tried on occasion to build a set and at one point I had a pretty nice collection going but it just didn't take. I also don't miss them.
I'd say it was the generic look but that logic makes no sense seeing as I have carded Apes and Star Trek here.
It probably has to do with the frustration I felt with these cards, we mainly had walls of Spider-Man and Hulk in the late 1970s. I'd stare at the back of these things and see all the characters I couldn't find.
There are facebook groups where all people do is talk about the little minutiae about these and while I understand that, it's something I have trouble involving myself in.
Any vintage Mego lines that you like but for one reason or another don't like the packaging?
