Hello, first time user of this forum. I signed up not as a collector of Mego, but rather as part of research I've been doing for a few family items I've held onto for many years.
The quick version of the story. Back in 1971/1972 my parents mail ordered a Mego Batman doll for my brother. What arrived was a case of Mego Batman dolls. After a conversation with the store and gifting one for Christmas, the box with the dolls sat idle in our house. Throughout the years some of the Batman dolls were sold or given away to friends or colleagues. Today, 12 Mego Batman dolls remain mint in their box. From what I can tell they are 1972, without the removable cowl.
I've done research on the Mego Museum site to learn as much as I can about the market as I was considering finding and buying Mego Batman dolls of the same type/year to complete the case again. That was my foucs until I read about the counter display boxes and shipping case information on the Mego Museum site, which appear to be very rare, if they exist at all anymore. Well, as part of this story, the remaining 12 Mego dolls are sitting safely in an original, not opened for display counter display box. I also have the original Mego shipping case that the counter box was delivered in.
So, what else can you tell me about my display box and shipping case? Are these really that rare? Are they desirable for Mego collectors? Is there more information about them that you could share?
Thank you!
