Megohead Steve Bracha sent in this rarely seen variation of the Mego Man of Steel, the vinyl cape. Check it out here at the Mego Superman Gallery. Thanks Steve and thanks also to Chet for pointing this out.

That's awesome

I do love those. All I have is Thor. Batman is one of the neatest looking with the vinyl cape treatment.

So, possible vinyl caped variations are:

Shazam
Superman
Supergirl
Thor
Batman (2 different vinyl capes)

Did I miss one? Suprising that Batgirl isn't on the list.

Oooh, nice. I have a vinyl cape Thor, and I gotta say, vinyl was a much better material for the capes. Wish they had all switched over to vinyl and stayed that way at some point.

I don't own any of the WGSH with the Vinyl Cape. I think it Looks Extremely Sharp. Here goes another item for the Want List, it's getting Longer every time I visit here

Hey fellow Meogheads, that is me with the vinyl caped Superman. Finaly I come across a Mego variation that most Mego collectors don't already have! I have more pictures of this guy on my MySpace page. My page is called MEGOMAN. Click on my blog "Toy Blog 11". Let me know if you have any questions about him. And yes, his "S" sticker is a repro. He lost his logo before I got him.

Neat stuff. Looks like the vinyl is drying and cracking?

[Meule]

Those cuts at the bottom of the cape almost look too symmetrical and even to be not done on purpose, but then I ask myself why would you wanna cut up a cape?

Wow! That is a truly amazing and very rare find. Thanks for sharing this.

Was this found by pure luck and bought as a plain old Superman? What an awesome surprize to get.

Hey Tom L.,

The Superman came in a lot bought on eBay. The auction had no description of the Superman. The cape did not show well on the auctions pictures. It was a huge surprise when it arrived. You can see more pictures of it on my MySpace page called MEGOMAN. Click on "Toy Blog 11". Oh yah, yes I am the owner of the vinyl cape Superman.
