Saw this on eBay and had to submit it to the Mego Museum crew.

Sounds fishy to me, like the type of stuff I'd see ten years ago or so in Toy Shop. So, to quote Nigel Tufnel, "That's not real, is it?"

Hmmm...might be real. Hard to say. Did the Seller call the phone number, by chance?
Assuming the company is still around.

It's kind of neat and lame all at the same time. considering the era, it seems like a really bad idea though. Considering the bulbs used (pre-LED's) would get hot, I can't see a company taking a shot on something that could easily be seen as a burn hazard. Plus I'd bet that same said bulb would be murder on a figure.
Still it would be interesting to know if Mego did consider it for even one second.

Palitoy had a thread going about this a while back, it is a Mego prototype and the seller is someone he knows
I don't think it's a Mego prototype personally, I think whatever company produced it simply put a Mego Batman in there for the concept.Originally Posted by Nostalgiabuff
Had this seen production, I imagine the figure would have been a simplified copy of Mego Batman.
This thing is legit, I know where it came from and a little about it's background.
