A forgotten MEGO toy?!!! Maybe...

[ddgaff1132]

Hey all and Hope you had a Good Holiday!
Last weekend I staggered to the local Fleamarket after a nite of work. There I found this...


So. Anyone know about this puppy. Its HUGE. I'd have to say near 20 some inches. Yep the toy was in the box and it appeared to be complete (As far as I know.) It lookes to be an auto Football tosser. The Footballs are tiny sized. The vender was kind enough to show me the contents of the box but I forgot to snap any pics. On my second pass I remembered that I had my cellphone and grabbed the above shot. The logo really grabbed my attention. I cant recall seeing any mention of this here. So I thought I'd post it. Let me know what yunz think. Also I asked the vendor his price and needless to say. I had to walk away.

That was the toy that Mego was counting on to make them in the action figure
business. Then Namath got injured in the first game and sat out the season.

Marty swore never to count on celebrities again for a major segment of the
business.

The seller started to say a hundred and... and thats when the ringing in my ears blocked out the rest. Problem with fleamarket folk is they think what they got is the rarest thing on Gods great Earth. Too bad these people never seen ebay and the prices thier "vintage merchandise" would fetch compared to real mint items.

I' m on the polar opposite. I sold stuff that was estimated to be worth way more than what it sold for. If I put this out on the ebay I would be safe in saying I'd would'nt even get a fraction of the hundred + I paid.
