    This is actually one of the cooler looking Mego releases.. Would proudly have him next to my Denys Tom Baker, both 10" I believe. Very well done.

      A fitting choice for the end of the week. I knew about him, probably from Bonavita's book, but never saw one in person until I saw Rob's. One of Megos nicest efforts.

          Zorro is an 8"er actually.

            In box?? Good luck. I would love to have one, especially in the box, but this dude is pretty rare even loose. Anybody have a case of them to sell off??? Anybody??

              I had about 12 of these when I was a kid. I would put 2 each into my 6 Wayne Foundations next to my 6 Great White Sharks. Aaahhh, I sold the lot for 75-cents at a yard sale. If I only knew then...

                The fact that Mego made this and I can never own one on my toy budget haunts me.

                  One of Mego's finer releases and one that's even harder to own.

                    Hey,
                    The last boxed one to sell was a couple of years ago - I believe it was in the $7000-$8000 range. Loose complete ones will probably go for $750-$1000.

                        What a great figure! I had one as a kid and had no idea how rare they were when I started to collect a few years ago. I am the proud owner of a boxed Zorro now as well which is one of the centre pieces of my collection.

                        I do know a guy who has a factory fresh boxed example which was given to him by a Palitoy rep. So far my attempts of prising it from his grasp have proven futile.

                          El Cool! He's on my long term wish list.

                          Not a UK exclusive though, he was definitely available in Australia too, distributed by Toltoys in the same Palitoy logo box.

                          Bill that factory fresh one sounds off the chart, you'll have to hold down your friend while you snap a picture of it! :-)

                          Cheers,

                              I've never seen a boxed example of one in person. Kudos for having one Bill.
