What WGSH should they have made?

[BradMego]

The Vision was one that I used to wish for when I was a kid playing with my Megos. I always thought that maybe there was one out there, and I had just never found him, or seen an advertisement for him.

Flash and Green Lantern really seemed like obvious choices that were missing from the line up.

I don't remember really knowing who the X-Men were when I was playing with my Megos. They really didn't have any outside of comic books popularity like what a lot of the DC characters had thanks to Super-Friends.

And I agree with whoever said that they really should have gotten something going with the Challenge of the Super-Friends. There were a ton of easy to do characters available there.

I used to always want a Hawkman when I was a kid too. I imagined the wings being made of cloth, kind of like Falcon's wings, but bigger and on his back, and with a plastic mace.

Plastic Man seems like one that they would have made too, seeing he had his own cartoon back then. At least I think that it made it out before Mego went under.

And there really did seem to be a lack of DC villains, compared to how many Marvel villains that they put out.

[The Phantom]

Solomon Grundy would have been easy for them to do. How hard would it have been to modify a Hulk figure?

Or used the Hulk to make a Rhino.

rs:

Black panther
Luke cage

I would have snatched either or both of these two up as a kid.

Chalk up Power Fist for me, too after the Luke Cage selection. Man, I loved those two as a kid.

Probably a lame-o selection, but I was a big Human Fly fan, as well. Chalk it up to Evel Knievel's influence. I honestly tried to customize (though I had no idea what customizing was) a Human Fly as a kid, but my Mom talked me out of "ruining" a Mego. In retrospect, she was right.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Flash
GL
Hawkman
Atom (although back then, the Atom's costume disappeared at full size)
Teen Titan Robin

Sub-Mariner

[huedell]

Besides Hal and Barry?

In order (roughly):

DR. DOOM
LEX LUTHOR
RED SKULL
PLASTIC MAN
ATOM
DR. OCTOPUS
SPIDER-WOMAN
HAWKMAN
DR. SIVANA
RHINO
SUB MARINER
DR. STRANGE
SILVER SURFER
HAWKGIRL
MERA
GHOST RIDER
CHEETAH
BIZARRO
SINESTRO
LOKI
BRAINIAC
CAPTAIN COLD

I think that's it for what I think are vital add-ons
to what MEGO started.

ELECTRO and VULTURE happen to be two real favorites of mine
that were actually popular enough, I think, to have actually
made it into the real line too---if it would have continued on
a bit longer...

When FAMOUS COVERS produced an ELECTRO figure in
that classic costume choice---I have to say say I was
more than just a little impressed

MOLE MAN would have been a great choice too.
FOUR Fantastic Four characters and NO F4 villains?
I mean, c'mon!

Back in the '70s when I was playing with my MEGO figures I would loved to have had figures of Doctor Doom, The Red Skull and Nick Fury.

[Jmass]

Spidey villians, lots of 'em. Mysterio, Ock, Vulture, etc. For myself, always Red Tornado and Mister Miracle. Mister Miracle's color scheme alone would have made a really eye-catching figure!

[Red Catchup]

The Vision

[Brown Bear]

The obvious Mego's that "should have" been made that never were are Lex Luthor of course and I would have loved to see a Joe Frazier & George Foreman to go with Ali.
