    Educate me please, Mego Boxed Monsters

    hello all...
    I was recently given a set of 4 solid boxed monsters in a collection I bought...Mummy, Drac, Frank and Wolf...they are still in the plastic interior bag, and boxes are in nice shape... are these common?, scarce?, at all in demand/value?
    just curious, I don't really collect the monster line, so I am not very well versed...any help/suggestions are appreciated...
    thanks
    rick

    While these are not necessarily rare, the ones pictured seem to be in pretty good shape. The lack of the inserts you find in superhero boxes allow for these to be more easily bent or crushed. Also, certain ones are a little more valuable than others. The Mummy seems to pop up pretty often.

    If you decide to sell them, you could get a some money, but you're not going to put your kids through college.

      thanks bill...I would say the boxes are c9+ to c9.5...the mummy, funny enough, is the c9, with the other 3, just about perfect!

        Oh, one quick thing- check the hair color on Dracula and Frank. If Drac is red and Frank's is blue, well then that increases the prices significantly.

            The boxes look to be in fantastic shape. I'd say they would go for a pretty penny as a set.

              Those boxes look great. Individual value/scarcity from most to least seems to be: 1. Dracula, 2. Wolfman, 3. Frankenstein, 4. Mummy

              Are any of them on T2 bodies? Those are quite a bit rarer in this packaging, although that doesn't necessarily mean they are worth that much more. It would depend on the potential buyer, some would put a premium on a T2 body, some wouldn't care that much either way.

                  thanks folks... I also picked up 20 MIB WGSH...about 10 will be upgrades for me, and 2 or 3 are box variants I need, but I will have 13-15 for sale soon (my undercopies)...I am good at buying megos, but not good at knowing what to sell them for, so I like to put on ebay at 99 cent starting bid, and let folks decide their worth...

                          I'd like to purchase the entire set. Did you have a price in mind?

                            no price at all...I have gotten several inquiries and offers on them, but for now, haven't decided...my instinct is I am a Super Hero collector, but these are kind of neat

                              holy cow batman, I just saw a Frank go for over $200 in a not near as nice box, and a mummy, with 12 minutes left, is pusing $160... I think maybe I will sell this set now, as I suspect my set would command a premium to these prices?
