For me my first mego is still my all time fav and that is IronMan

[The Bat]

My picks:

Star Trek: Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Andorian, Romulan

Marvel: Green Goblin, Mr.Fantastic

DC: The Joker, Green Arrow(honorable mention for Spidey...he's not perfect, but I love him).

Kirk and McCoy are great sculpts.

I also think the Hutch sculpt is very good.

But....I know it was never a record breaking seller, but Pa Walton is a dead ringer for Ralph Waite...I find it quite eerie.

[Mego Milk]

Spidey.

Falcon!!!

I recently put together a Falcon that I aquired in a few separate auctions.
As I play Megos with my kids at night, I look back and think that The Mego Falcon was really one of my favorites, even with the ape hands!
Ha ha!

I gotta go with Thor and Green Goblin. I think those are both about as perfect as can be...and the fact they both got custom boots never used again on any other figure helps.

Good call. Both of those figures are great. Although I love many of the Megos that didn't have perfect likenesses, I think they were about 50/50 on nailing the characters.

Spock, Kirk and Bones were awesome. Scotty, a cool figure, but not the best likeness. I don't know that the Klingon was a very good likeness, but he is one of my favorite Megos of all time!

Super Heroes: I thought they nailed it with Green Arrow, Green Goblin, Riddler, Joker, Shazam, Superman, Thor, Conan, and Spiderman. Iron Man and Mr. Fantastic were pretty darn close too. Batman and Robin may not have been perfect, but as a kid I thought they were pretty darn cool except for the oven mits. Tarzan could have been better, but he was ok. Mxyzptlk was a swing and a miss.

Agreed. I'm so certain that 'ol Doomsie would have been in the 'next Wave'.., since you have the FF and a couple of Avengers represented, the only villains we got were for Supes, Bats and Spidey. Doom found his way into so many books by the mid-70s, even getting his own with Namor.

Given my avatar, it should come as no surprise to anyone that I think Dr. Doom stood out as one of the most noticeable of the missing characters from the Mego lines (right behind Lex)

[david_b]

Which makes me wonder why they never applied this to make a Dr. Doom

Can't really add much more than has already been said but Mego got it pretty much right on most all figure lines except a few here and there.

For a more overlooked choice, I think the Tin Man is very successful in this way, a great sculpt and the use of the jumpsuit with armor fittings is very smart.

Even though I'm not very interested in this line, the Wicked Witch from the WOZ line does look an awful lot like Margaret Hamilton.
