How many Megos did you own in the 70's ?

[Relic]

I was born on Oct 4 1967, when the WGSH MEGOS came out I was the perfect age for these new toys. I still have from my childhood, Superman, Batman, Robin, Aquaman, Captain America, Green Arrow, Green Goblin, Joker, Penguin, Falcon, Spiderman, Iron Man, Hulk, Lizard and Mr Mxyzptlk. These original 15 Megos have been restored and recarded. Over the past 2 years I have been able to find almost all of the Megos I never had as a kid. I now only need Isis and Batgirl to have all of the original WGSH. I was just curious as to how many Megos other members in here had as kids.

As a kid, I never had Wonder Woman, Isis, Invisible Girl or Supergirl. And I never had the Knights, Pirates, Titans, Robin Hood, star trek aliens other than Cheron, little Rascals or Wizard of Oz figures. I had the rest, but I was tough on them and none survived. The parts and pieces probably went in a garage sale when I was in junior high or were just thrown out.

I had:
Batman(fell apart and don't have him anymore)
Robin(survived but missing most of his stuff)
Shazam(gone)
Iron Man(loved him and was able to keep everything except his belt and in minty condition, replaced his belt many years ago and found a box for him)
Superman(kept him, decent shape but missing his cape)
Star Trek Kirk(fell apart and left this world)
Star Trek Spock(lost accessories but decent condition)
Star Trek Bones(lost accessories but decent condition)
Star Trek Enterprise, played hours and hours with it and that took its toll(fell apart and its 5 year mission ended much sooner).

Also I forgot I had a 12" Buck Rogers too.

[torgospizza]

I'll do my best to remember. Cochise, Fonzie, Superman, Batman, Robin, Captain America, Spider-Man, Shazam, Tarzan, Aquaman, Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Cornelius, Zira, Dr. Zaius, PotA Astronaut, Gorilla Soldier, 12" movie Superman, 12" Spider-Man, 12" Buck Rogers, 3 3/4" Buck Rogers, and 12" Joe Namath (my first Mego). I had the Enterprise playset. I think that's it.

Also had three of the Mego Like SWAT figures, but only remember one name; Luca.

Alas, none of these survived. some say I didn't care about my toys, but I say that being played with to death is a sign of how MUCH I loved them.

Was also never quite smart enough to tell people I wanted "Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Joker," etc. I jsut said I wanted "figures" So, christmas came one year and among my other toys I got a bearded AJ, an AJ outfit. POTA Cornelius and Batman. while i wish I had gotten Batman and company, I still played with them together. LOL.

Hmmmm....

I had a few AJs, most of the Treks and most of the apes. With a smattering of superheroes. The apes were my favourites as a kid.

I was born in 66 so I saw them as soon as they came out! when they had the windowless boxes I still remember the display box on the counter! and I had the original batman and robin with removable masks I had most of them except the fantastic four the girls of course I did get into the swat figures and I think I got the wizard of oz ones at that age. I also had the spiderman backpack thing he used to swing on ? does anyone know what that was or has a picture?

You can check the gallery under playsets and vehicles to confirm this, but I THINK that was called "The Supervator". I don't know if it was specifically a Spiderman accessory, but Spidey WAS in the commercuials for it.

[Spyweb007]

Born in 1970, I had around fifty megos, most of the super-heroes and titans, all of the apes, an AJ, most of the Trek and some Chips, Dukes and 12" too. All of them still in my collection, the wear and tear of long ago battles just adds to the charm, as well as knowing they have been with me over all these years.
