Old Mego Only. Worst or Weirdest Mego Outfit

[Megotastrophe]

Ok so here is where we discuss the sometimes unusual decisions made at Mego regarding clothing. Talosian is obviously dressed for the Alien Psychic Circus as a PsychoClown. Mugato is ready for Buck Rogers and his Space Disco. Which outfit do you think is the worst/weirdest in Mego’s library?

While I'm not really too crazy about the Gold & Light Purple color scheme of Urko's outfit (and I would have preferred Zaius to be in orange, rather then white/beige), I have to say that overall, The Mugato's outfit is probably the worst of all the original Mego outfits.

I will also vote for Mugato, although his outfit is so over-the-top awful that I kind of love it.

Mad Monsters Dracula with his silkscreened suit. Joker and Penguin had separate jackets, it definitely would have helped ol’ Drac.

I’m not saying Muggy had a bad suit. It is definitely a different interpretation of the Trek Gorillacorn we all knew and loved. Drac’s tuxedo pajamas are hideous. I think AJ had the worst with his paisley snorkel ensemble.

So, 8" Cap...mistakes were made. Mego attempted to redeem themselves with 12" Cap, only to not go the extra mile and give him red hands, like they did with 12" Spidey. I never owned either as a kid, but as an adult collector, it's these flaws that make me the figures that much more.

I'm going to get stuff thrown at me, but I really dislike Mego Tarzan's pajamas. I know, I know, it was early in the line, and the Type 1 body just didn't present well without a body suit covering most of it. But still, I just have never cared for it.

I agree on Tarzan and not just because of the PJs. That generic circus strongman design was long outdated by the 70s and would have looked nothing like the Tarzan kids were used to. I don't get it.

I love the Tarzan mego, but I do understand the outfit issue, at least they gave him a knife. I agree on the Mugato outfit and why not throw in the Gorn for good measure, absolutely nothing to do with the episode. Silkscreen was mentioned and I thought perhaps they could have done a better job on Wonder Woman too.

Annnnnd a bad-as5 hairdo.

Tarzan could have rocked a pair of Conan Klein Fuzzy Bloomers. And if Robin can show off the bare skin in his manpanties I think Tarzan could have gone the same route. At the same time, I think Robin would have looked better in tights instead of bare legs and it would have matched the Burt Ward look better.

Weird definitely has to go to Mugato, but it's still glorious! There is no other era in which something like that could have left a toy factory. Worst is probably Mada from One Million BC. She looks like she's wearing a fuzzy potato costume...
