1980 JC Penny Toy Catalog

Interesting variation of the energized Spidey, cool car to go with the megos!!

Those are the smaller 9" versions of the Remco Energized figures. Captain America was only made in that scale.

I recall this catalog well. My 9" Remco Monsters came from Penney's.

Thanks for the blast from the past!

So with Megos now around $20 that's quite a jump in prices from the $5 in 1980. Amazing that you could also get the car for the same price as a figure.

Very cool, I had the Remco monsters and the Shogun Godzilla.

[Megotastrophe]

Batman and Spider-Man in their racing Zambonis. Seems legit

Thanks for clarifying! I remember the powerized and the energized figures

I have one of those Corvettes. They were done by Gay Toys.

I did a quick search to see what $5.00 of 1980 is equivalent to in 2024: One site said $19.15, another said $18.61, and a third said a flat $20.00. So, adjusted for inflation, the price of a present day Mego figure is really the same as in 1980.

I did a search on ebay for that corvette and honestly there’s a bunch of them and very affordable.
I think my custom Dick Grayson would look good behind the wheel in a red corvette.

If you find one cheap you can use krylon spray paint to change the color.

Krylon Fusion is the best for plastics and they have a lot of great colors.
