AHI's First Version Universal Monsters are about as close to regular Megos as any knockoff figure I've owned. Their heads are a similar rigid vinyl like Mego and their clothes are sorta close. It's a real shame quality dropped off incredibly afterwords.Comment

Tomland fer sure. Aside from the holy trinity of Mego heroes/apes/trek, Tomlands are at the top of the heap. They represent EVERYTHING I love about cheap vintage toys. The fact that they are kinda "crappy" is exactly why they are so durned awesome!
Oh yea, AHI's and LINCOLNS are great too!Comment

I am going with LJN, as well. However AHI is a close 2nd. In fact, AHI had many great toys in the 70's, but don't get much recognition, these days.

The best Mego-like figures would, technically, have to be the ones that used actual Mego molds, like Multiple's Menudo figures and Timm Mee's western line.Comment

GREAT QUESTION! Hands down I think it goes to LJN figures. I have loved the figure lines from that company almost as much as Megos since I was a kid. SWAT is my favorite followed by Emergency and the Rookies. It was nothing for them to be interchanged with my Megos. Some of the Rookie figures made great Peter Parker or Bruce Wayne figures...even a good Dick Grayson.Comment
