Dr. Doom absolutely should have been made with the FF - the Red Skull
would have been great since Capt. America was a top seller - but he
is a problematic character because of the Nazi background.
Spider-Woman WAS very present in licensed images by 1980 BUT since
females don't sell well, they probably would not have done her without
a TV show. Firestar and Iceman had a better chance of being added to
the line-up instead of Spider-Woman and Silver Surfer.
Abomination would be interesting but Rhino would have been more
likely since he was a Hulk AND Spider-Man villian.

I like a lot of the choices so far.
Dr. Strange would have been a great Mego if they did it with the same care and attention they did Thor and Conan.
Captain Marvel, because I always loved that costume.
Mego Museum Super Spy
I agree on both counts and the Fan 4 really did need Dr. Doom too.

I thought Capt. America was usually short-packed, akin to Aquaman?

Dr Doom should have been no question and perhaps the Red Skull or Doc Ock.
Daredevil and Dr Strange would be next in line.
Invincible Ironing Man
Nightcrawler and Colossus?

There's no way Mego should have been allowed not to make Dr. Doom. That's one of the biggest no-brainers in toy industry history. Complete and total misfire on a golden opportunity.
My other choice is not nearly as obvious. Strictly from a visual perspective and how colorful the character is, I think Vision would have done well. Put him on a blue backer card and he stands out from everything in that toy aisle. How many times have we been tempted to buy a figure just cause it looks cool, not. because we like or know the character? I think Vision would have been the ultimate Mego impulse buy.
Is it still insecurity if I fear my job is going to let me go because they don't realize how awesome I am?
