A Holy Grail of Mego collecting. They need no introduction. Pete, Bruce, Dick, and Clark here in all their splendor. For those that do not know about these gems, the Alter-Ego sets were sold exclusively in the Montgomery Wards Catalog in 1974 and were sent to you by mail but the sets were only offered once and most young collectors never even knew they existed. Today these vintage alter-egos are very rare and one of the most sought after Megos in any collection. Even just one totally complete, without repro items, and with mailer, is nearly impossible to find. This complete set of four is the very set photographed for the Mego reference book and also for the Mego Museum. You absolutely will not find a nicer, more complete set on the planet.
These were originally purchased for a kid back in the day for Christmas. Somehow, he never actually got them and they were mixed up and stored with the christmas decorations for years. When he was a man around thirty, his mother cleaned out the shed were the christmas decorations were and found them. She gave it to him, and told him how she had forgotten to give it to him twenty years earlier. He threw them in his closet where they sat for years. One day he was looking for stuff to sell because he wanted to buy a drum set. They were purchased by a collector who had them for some time and sold them to a well known collector in Italy. From there they went to Mego Museum member Lonnie Fisher and we obtained them several years ago. So the set has had a total of five owners to date. As far as we know it is the only complete set with original boxes and baggies in the World.
