      Definitely the TV series pocket heroes. That would have been fun.
      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...

        I would have loved the Deluxe Bridge Playset as a kid. The smaller scale figures would have been fun.

          but I wonder is the smaller scale would have sold. the motion picture line didn't sell well. still would have been cool to get environment playsets to go with though

            The Original Series toys sold very well for Mego, if Mego had a 3 3/4" Trek line on the shelves in 1978, I think it would have greatly outperformed the TMP line. Especially in those bright TOS outfits.

            I mean the movie line suffers from the subject matter not being terribly kid-friendly (which kind of upset the big wigs at Mego) but also, they're in those weird uniforms and 1/3 of the first wave are characters we didn't want as kids.

                You mean kids didn't want to play with Commander Decker figures?
