    The toughest loose Megos, Palitoys, Popys, BASAs and Ledys to find complete

    I've given some thought to what the toughest loose Mego and Mego contemoraries were to find complete and this Top 10 list is based upon my own experience. These are production figures only and do not include prototypes. These are also action figures only and don't include items like Mego's Great White Shark. This list is solely based on 8" Mego and Megolike action figures without getting into knockoffs. Items like Mego Broken Circle and Diamond Circle Suit Spiderman could have easily made this list, but I didn't want to get into variations. There's also rumors of BASA Lex Luthor and Lili Ledy Joker, but since they've never surfaced, they didn't make the list.

    #1 Toughest to #10 Not quite as tough

    1. Lili Ledy Iron Man

    2. Mego Alter-Ego Clark Kent

    3. Lili Ledy Green Arrow

    4. Lili Ledy Falcon

    5. Mego Removable Mask Robin

    6. BASA Robin

    7. Lili Ledy Tarzan

    8. Mego Jet Jungle

    9. Popy Battle Fever France

    10. Palitoy Zorro

    It's tough to post a list like this in open forum. Please be gentle with me. The list is based on #1 Finding them at all and #2 Finding them complete. Both factors were given a value in my scale. I'm interested to see how these would be moved around in your opinion.

    What did I leave out?

    For the new member who've never seen this before, here's a list of Mego Scarcities we did a few years ago: http://www.megomuseum.com/megolibrar...ty/index.shtml

    Cool list, Heath

    I'm no expert on foreign Mego's but shouldn't Jet Jungle be a lot higher on the list ?

    I thought there were only 2 known examples ?

      There's at least 6 Jet Jungles. Maybe as high as 8. Maybe 4-5 are complete.

            I think the Zorro should be ranked a little higher...The hat is as tough as the glasses and hat are for AE/SI Clark Kent. Just my 2 cents.

            And because of all their tears,
            Their eyes can't hope to see
            The beauty that surrounds them
            Isn't it a pity".

              Zorro (Cape and Hat)
              Clark Kent (Glasses and Hat)
              RM Robin (mask)

              If there are only 6-8 JJs in the world, then that makes it number 1 by a mile. All the above can be had in one state or another, but in Jet Jungle's case, it is not a question of completing the damn figure, it is just finding one, therefore it should be number 1 on the list.

                I tried to take everything into consideration, Clem. If there was a figure with only 6 known in collections and only 2-3 complete, it got a higher ranking than Jet Jungle. In the case of Jet Jungle, there's at least 4 complete with outfit and accessories.

                  How many complete RM Robins (ranked at 5?), Clark Kents (ranked at 2?) and Zorros do you think are out there? Must be in the 100s.

                    Ya think complete and original RM Robin and Clark Kent are in the hundreds?

                    Jet may deserve a higher ranking for sure. I'm only going on my own observations. Usually the 100% complete Clark Kent I see is the same one over and over again.

                    How 'bout this list:

                    1. Lili Ledy Iron Man
                    2. Lili Ledy Green Arrow
                    3. Lili Ledy Falcon
                    4. Mego Jet Jungle
                    5. Mego Alter-Ego Clark Kent
                    6. Mego RM Robin
                    7. Lili Ledy Tarzan
                    8. BASA Robin
                    9. Mego Zorro
                    10. Popy Battle Fever France

                      9. Mego Zorro
                      10. Popy Battle Fever France
                      Maybe not the 100s but I was just trying to illustrate a point. I think Zorro is equally as scarce as both Clark Kent and RM Robin, but you have 3 accessories to worry about. (obviously Blackbeard's sword can be replaced but you still have to get it). I can't speak for the Ledy & Basas as i really know nothing about them.

                        The key here is complete. RM Robin is obviously quite plentiful, but definitely not with an original mask.

                            Just a few that I know of. Kenya almost made the list.
