              Tough piece right there. I actually am a fan of all the aquatic mego items, Aquaman, Pirates, Neptune,etc. They all were well made.
              The FTC shark is the only repro I display because the original is so expensive and rare.

                Wow, congratulations, that is a grail piece for sure! As an Aquafan, I salute you. Like Mr. Marion, I console myself with the decent repro.

                  My Dear worldwide friends...

                  AFTER 20 YEARS (!!) I have completed my Mego Harbert (italian distributor) collection of 8 inch figures!
                  The last prey was Superman on an italian Harbert Card that I found on ebay from a UK seller.
                  I found The Invisible Girl...in Japan instead

                  And the my gift for you...fellow Mego collectors is a gallery of pictures of this possibly unique WGSH Mego Harbert collection...

                  All boxes and cards are in Italian language or in USA version with the infamous Harbert sticker stuck on it!

                  There could be some other combinations of Usa Cards with a Harbert sticker because Harbert used to buy all the stock they could from Mego before starting to print Italian cards.
                  That's the reason why so few USA 1975A and 1975B Fantastic four cards without sticker are still in existence...
                  No Italian boxes for 8inch chars exist!
                  The only italian cards ever made were Robin, Batman, Superman, Hulk, Spider-Man 1978 and Spider-Man 1979.

                  Some cards could be updgraded but considering that certain Harbert cards do not exist in more than 10 specimen nowadays...I consider my Harbert collection...not bad!
                  WHAT DO YOU THINK?

                  This is the list of the figures you will see in the pictures:

                  Batman Harbert sticker on Bubble Card c2-DC-77b: 2nd issue/3rd version (DC) "77b" card T2 Fixed Cowl
                  Batman Harbert Bubble Card c2-DC-79: 2nd issue/5th version (DC) "79" card T2 Fixed Cowl
                  Hulk Harbert Bubble Card c2-MV-79: 2nd issue/5th version (Marvel) "79" card T2 Muscle Body
                  Human Torch Harbert sticker on Window Box Hb2-MV-5d-N: 2nd issue/2nd version (Marvel) "4th version" box T2 Orange card backing
                  Human Torch Harbert sticker on Window Box Hb2-MV-5d-N: 2nd issue/2nd version (Marvel) "4th version" box T2 Blue card backing
                  Human Torch Harbert sticker on Bubble Card c2-MV-75b: 2nd issue/3rd version (Marvel) "75b" card T2

                  Mr. Fantastic Harbert sticker on Bubble Card c2-MV-75b: 2nd issue/3rd version (Marvel) "75b" card T2
                  Robin Harbert Bubble Card c2-DC-79: 2nd issue/5th version (DC) "79" card T2
                  Spider-Man Harbert sticker on Bubble Card c2-MV-75b: 2nd issue/3rd version (Marvel) "75b" card T2
                  Spider-Man Harbert Bubble Card c2-MV-75a: 2nd issue/1st version (Marvel) "75a" card T2
                  Spider-Man Harbert Bubble Card c2-MV-79: 2nd issue/5th version (Marvel) "79" card T2 Sewn sleeves
                  Spider-Man Harbert Bubble Card c2-MV-79: 2nd issue/5th version (Marvel) "79" card T2 Sewn sleeves
                  Spider-Man Harbert Bubble Card c2-MV-79: 2nd issue/5th version (Marvel) "79" card T2 NON Sewn Sleeves
                  Superman Harbert sticker on Bubble Card c2-DC-77c: 2nd issue/ 4th version (DC) "77c" card T2
                  Superman Harbert Bubble Card c2-DC-79: 2nd issue/5th version (DC) "79" card T2

                  Thing Harbert sticker on Bubble Card c2-MV-75b: 2nd issue/3rd version (Marvel) "75b" card T2 Muscle Body

                  In addition to the figures I bought a realy unique piece: An Harbert Cardboard box used to ship 12 Fantastic Four Cards plus a Shop Window sticker!

                  When I find the last Harbert 12inch missing in my collection (Batman in a USA Box with Harbert Sticker) I will post the Big Men family picture too !!!
                  it may take years I know eheheheh!

                            Palitoy... the paradox is that even if Harbert was italian and they sold several toy lines in Italy in a couple of decades...I found at least 40% of my Mego Harbert toys abroad:UK, France, Japan, Nederlands etc etc
                            They probably distributed Megos to the nearby countries!

                              To be honest with you, I remember walking down Queen Street in the mid 1990s and seeing a whole window of Harbert Human Torches and Things. The shop owner told me "Some guy went to Italy and found them in a store!"
