    Mego Stuff Other Then Action Figures

    Hi, Would any one of my fellow Museum members know, where I can find a list and or Pics of what Mego made when they were known as a Dime store company, and created little plastic statues and stuff for dime stores?
    I really think this is an important part of Megoness History (hey, I just created a new word) and bears investigationg and or posting.
    What do ya all think? do any of you, have anything from mego before they made figures? and if so how can they be identified?

    The list would be huge.
    I suggest you try to find the early dealer catalogs. (good luck )

    Here are a few sample pages from the 1970 - 1971 catalog.

        Great pics Rob.....

        After Mego started with Action figures did they stop making all these dime store products?

          Didn't Mego used to make little plastic playsets not much different than Marx ones ?

            I think Dan has a couple (a lot?) of items in his collection, time for him to post his collection again

                I don't see the Mermaid in the catalog. I don't know if she was a windup or what, but she moved her tail or something. Doesn't seem to pop up often, and the prices when she does are usually high. But if I could ever find one for a reasonable price, I'd buy it.
