Up for grabs is a mega-rare 1975 MEGO Falcon 8" action figure for the serious collector. It is sealed on an unpunched, vibrant, near perfect card. The only flaw being minor damage to the top of the bubble (see pics).
It ranks high on the scale of rarity as carded MEGOs go. Exceedingly rare. As rare as a 1975 MEGO Iron Man, Green Goblin or Lizard figure. There were very few released as these were less popular characters and so packaged in a much smaller ratio than more popular MEGO figures. Subsequently, they are desirable today-commanding a higher dollar
(in the case of Iron Man and Green Goblin, we're talking the $10,000-20,000 range depending on condition). Falcon, being a lesser known character, doesn't command as much but is still on the same level of rarity and is sought after by carded MEGO completists.
This MEGO Falcon is near mint and case fresh with the only real imperfection being the crack in the top of the bubble.See pics and here's the story on it:
It was sold to me by a well known Mego collector/ trader. The Falcon was en route from a toy show where he was selling and his van got in an accident sending toy boxes flying, forcing the Falcon upward in his bubble cracking
the bubble and leaving some minor paint rubbing on the inside from the top of his head but no other damage whatsoever to the card or figure .The aforementioned toy trader immediately clear-taped the top of the bubble to keep dust out and the figure fresh.
The Falcon remains otherwise unscathed.
It displays great and since the crack is on the top of the bubble, you can't see it looking at it straight on (again, see pics).Otherwise it is a near mint, crisp, unpunched and vibrant card that is straight and clean. A small, light patch of creasing exists on the front but is only visible if scrutinized against reflected light.If the bubble wasn't cracked, this wd be a hard carded Falcon to upgrade ...but good luck even finding one period!
There just aren't that many out there to be had. Here's your chance to own one!! Don't miss out! Also includes clear acrylic display case. Good Luck!!!
