    As a kid I had these, many were replaced multiple times through the years as they tended to fall apart:

    Batman
    Robin
    Batmobile (Got all three for Christmas 1974)
    Aquaman
    Spider-Man
    Hulk
    Joker

    12" Spider-Man
    12" Hulk

    Assorted Micronauts

    Assorted Pocket/Comic Action Heroes

    Currently I have Spider-Man, Iron Man, Green Goblin, Human Torch, Thing, Falcon, Captain America, and EMCE's Cornelius and Dr. Zaius.

      When I was a little kid I remember getting one if I was good when having to spend the day with my mom when she went shopping, hard to be good when dragged around town to women's clothing stores. Some stores had cool Toy Departments though. I had....

          Until Maggy bought her Walton figures I had forgot that I even had any Mego figures. I do know I had a Batman for sure as that has always been my favorite thanks to the campy Adam West TV show. I also remember a Captain America, Joker, Riddler, and I believe an Aqua Man. I actually didn't get a lot of toys growing up and I took pretty good care of them. I still have quite a few of my childhood toys including a Viewmaster Superfriends gift pack that is mint, a Rock Em Sock Em Robots, a few Redline Hot Wheels cars and track, some metal trucks, tractors, and cars, plus a few other misc items.


          The Megos did not survive so I can only guess that they were pretty beat up from playing with them so much. My memory at age 45 isn't the best on some things and great on others. Most likely too much booze led to that.

                            WGSH:
                            Superman
                            Batman
                            Robin
                            Spiderman
                            Captain America
                            Hulk

                            Star Trek: Bones

                            Pocket Heroes/CAH: Batman, Robin, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Penguin, Joker, Green Goblin, Spiderman and that Batmobile set with Batman and Robin x 2.

                            Dukes of Hazzard: Bo, Luke, Coy, Vance and the General Lee set with 3 3/4 Bo and Luke.

                            CHiPs: Ponch, Jon and both 8" and 3 3/4" along with their motorcycles.

                            STMP: one or two of the 3 3/4" figures.

                            That's all that I can think of at the moment.

                            Regarding WGSH: I was born in 1974 and didn't see a lot of the figures (and I have some clear memories going back to and prior to 1977). I remember wondering if more were manufactured due to the artwork on the packages. I do remember seeing Shazam and wanting him and then going to get him and not being able to find one any longer.

                            I saw a lot of the Star Trek figures, but I just didn't have much interest in them, though I was interested in the TV series, at the time.

                              Always wanted the Exploding Bridge set and don't know how many times I put it on my Christmas list and it was one of those things I never got. I think I want it worse now than I did then. The Bat lab and Bat mobile were much wanted items too that I never did get back then.
