Just had a discussion on the Facebook group and was wondering if anybody else was in a similar boat.
Growing up in the Mego era, I did not have a huge amount of toys. Well I had a bit from several different lines. In the 12" scale i had Land Adventurer 6M$M and Pulsar and a scattering of Loose Johnny West. Those were the Joes. One Irwin motorcycle and sidecar and the Bionic Rocket were their vehicles. Oh and a green AMC Pacer from Gay toys that i cut out the firewall so they could sit down.
In the Mego scale I had Batman and Robin, Dr McCoy, Naked Spock, Action Jackson, the green headed robot from Star team, the Batmobile and the Wayne foundation. Those were the Batmans. Joes and Batmans didnt mix. The Shogun Warrior GaiKing would be the ultimate villain for either group.
I did have the Comic Action Heroes Batmobile set but no other small scale figures so that really didn't get a lot of play. By the time the small figures were king, it had been decided that I wouldn't be getting any more action figures.
My brother had a few figures. he had the Air Adventurer and Mike Powers, and Superman and Aquaman and a handful o f the Imperial bendable robots and the Imperial Monsters.
We had very strict rules about which figures could play together. maybe we were weird IDK. Steve and Pulsar were taller than Joe but that was ok. It was just how it was.
