Mego Supergirl

[Cardzilla]

Hi,

One of my daughter has been asking me about the Mego Supergirl (i.e. I showed her the picture of Supergirl on Mego Museum card #23). Now, she wants to have one. I'm somewhat new to Mego toys. My questions are:

1. Have they ever re-produced Mego Supergirl figure ?
2. What kind of price tag am I looking at (used vs. new vs. re-production) ?
3. Where can one find Mego toys (besides the Market Forum) ?

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

1) No, put some of the parts have been reproduced. See here
Supergirl: WGSH Gallery: Mego Museum

2) An original Supergirl can very depending on how complete she is. She can fetch $100-$125 with her shoes, cape and emblem. She can be $60-$80 without those key parts. A reproduction you'll have to piece together yourself. By the time you buy the head, shoes, cape, emblem, belt and body, you're probably in $35-$40. Then you need a reproduction suit. I think Brian Leitner makes them, but that's probably another $20-$25 at least.

3) Outside of Marketplace, ebay is the best place to buy. Reproduction parts can be had from Home and Leitners site is http://hometown.aol.com/bleit1702/

Leitner makes a nice Supergirl suit most definitely...can't go wrong there for the price.

Can't go wrong with a repro if you want your daughter to play with it....I pieced together a Repro for my daughter before she was born and now she plays with it. Brian Leitner suit, Doc mego head and other parts..Real Mego Female body = One Cool Dad!

Thank you all for the wealth of information. My intention is for my daughter to play with it. My daughter loves to play with super-hero related toy figures. I'm guessing it'll cost me at least $65 to put together a Repro. I'll start my Repro plan with Mego Doc's and Brian Leitner's websites.

Am I wrong to assume the 'body' part is all same (perhaps with different colors) for female figures ?

Nope, you're right. Except for the color (Zira, Uhura, Witch) the female bodies are exactly the same

It's good that the 'body' part is all same...thanks.

I'm only a nice dad when the kids get the things out of me...

I'll check out the ebay site (per link). I don't have an eBay account as of now but I may have to create one. I appreciate the info.
