Bought this lot of 34 Megos for $48, Future customs for my Svengoolie/Sventoonie.

I added to my Mego World's Greatest Superheroes collection this week with this excellent boxed Superman. I bought it not because of the later box variation (I only noticed it after the fact) but the Hudson's Bay price tag.
Let me set the frame; when I was eight years old, I was Mego Superhero crazy, fueled by the Challenge of the Superfriends. One problem is that most of my local haunts had two choices: Hulk or Spider-Man. Unfortunately, I had both of those guys. I tried to get my folks to order from Heroes World, but that wasn't very easy at the time.
Hudson's Bay opened a store in the next town, and my mum took me to the opening. Boom! There it was in the toy department; a Mego Superheroes counter display box loaded with characters from the Heroes World ads, Green Arrow! Shazam! Iron Man! My tiny head exploded, and I went home with that Iron Man.
It was a very happy moment in my childhood, and seeing that price tag brought me right back to the moment. To me, this is what collecting is all about, being in those moments.

I really like the western series, Buffalo Bill and Davey Crockett were my favorites and seeing these on the Kresge cards makes it that much more memorable, very nice pick up.

I got Wyatt and Davey also , beautiful figures. Wild Bill is a nice figure also. Cochise and sitting Bull are just meh to me.

Thanks everyone!



Thats a good idea. It does bother me but I don't want to ruin it anymore, may have to give it a go!

I use fingernail clippers to trim loose threads. It works pretty well.

Very nice! Congrats!

Thanks everyone!

That is such a fantastic pick up, it looks sturdy and clean and I like your t-1 Superman too, if you wanted to you can carefully trim the loose hanging threads from his cape with a sharp pair of scissors or hobby knife but that’s totally your call.

Just 5 days shipping from Japan??? now that’s fast, and we have people here still waiting for their Topps mego’s, go figure.
