    Agreed. I actually forgot about him being that he is 3/4". CTVT has them in bulk if anyone should desire one or one hundred of them.

      As far as 8" figures, what about the One Million BC. The licensed lines have non-Mego collectors chasing them, but I'm not sure how much Mego people seek these out for anything other than customizing. (though I do have the set. low-hanging fruit )

        I like the OMBC guys, and wouldn't mind having a cave-man or two. But they've gotta be a niche interest.

        I think the most unsought-after Mego of all time was this carded Pin-Pin Mr Fantastic that some antique dealer used to bring to every outdoor flea market around where I live for several years running. The card was crumpled, and as it sat in the summer sun weekend after weekend the inside of the bubble would fill up with enough condensation to start a Sea Monkey colony, Reed's poor head was so grey it looked like stone, the limbs popped off inside of his outfit, and the card art got more and more pale and washed out as the summers went by. The guy wanted $50 or $75 for him. depending where and when you asked.

        I haven't seen it the last couple of years, which is too bad because I wanted to try and get it from him for $10 or so and bring it to MegoMeet as a bad example of how to display your Megos... kind of like those melted VHS tapes that shops would display as a caution about leaving cassettes in the 700+degree heat in your car.

                Perhaps, but there are a few people like me buying them up.

                  With all the customizing taking place, I don't know if there is a line that is unsought.

                  Every line has SOMETHING in it that we can be confiscated for a Mego custom.

                  If I had to say for collect-ability's sake, it would be either 1 million BC, Waltons, or Our Gang.

                    Out of the less desirable TV properties, I have to say I'd grab Our Gang figures over The Waltons...

                      I don't own them, but I do have a fondness for Our Gang... Although I knew them as Little Rascals

                        When you're talking about individual Megos hanging around forever, I remember Mr. Myxlplyx and "Bones" McCoy being around until the eighties. I don't think I ever saw Happy Days or Our Gang on the pegs back in the day.

                          I would actually say the 12 inch Batman figure. He's consistently found mint in box yet always sells anywhere from $50 to $75. Pretty amazing when you think about it.

                              I got a Zira today at the flea market for $20. Her jacket needs some work or replacement though.

                                I will be collecting Waltons for Walton's sake long before I spring for OMBC, Happy Days, Our Gang or other TV lines.

                                Just my preference.

                                I think the Oz & OG lines are beautiful, but OG is plagued by quality/production problems.

                                I love him now, but Mxy would've held no interest for me as a kid. Even Superman was a late addition to my childhood collection.
