this to me was one of the greatest bloopers they did. Not replicating the old Mego Card art which pointed you to other figures,
Its hard to turn a casual look loo into a Mego fanatic, if they don't know what else is available,
Case in point: I pointed out to a guy in a Comic Shop a couple weeks back that had one Ultraman Tiga ( and no others) and a Mego Toxic Avenger ( and no other monsters) that there were indeed four released UltraBrothers and
well over a dozen monsters. What did he do? He turned over the packaging back and forth looking for pics, and when he couldn't find anything, put it back on the shelf.
I pointed him to the website and Facebook page, he said " Too much work for me."
Fans have grown up on the " See what else we have available" esthetic...StartWars, Gi Joe, Transformers still do it to this day on those packages. Mattel with MOTU.
Why not Mego? Hell even FTC did with their releases.....
Missed sales, missed opportunities.
