    Echoing what Brain said...Prototype vs. Production Pieces...It all depends on what you are looking for.

    Prototypes:
    Ralph GAH
    Bill GAH (Never seen one of these...ever)
    Pam GAH

    WGSH Prototypes:

    Flesh Sleeved Wondergirl (Rudy's collection)
    Web Hand Aquaman from Great White Set (My collection)

    POTA Prototypes:

    I know Ant has a couple of these...how many did they make??? Nobody knows.

    It really is a crapshoot because in the end it's all a matter of symantics when you're asking about which is the most rare mego figure.
    "When not too many people can see we're all the same
    And because of all their tears,
    Their eyes can't hope to see
    The beauty that surrounds them
    Isn't it a pity".

      The fact you have these things on your list shows that you have a lot to learn:

      Kresge Super Girl

      Kresge Aquaman

      Yellow Franken-card Aquaman

      Carded Teen Titans (any)

      Glad you're showing interest in something other than stretch figures.

      Oh boy, oh boy!! I'm going to go to school on toys...WOW!!! My mom would be proud.

      My expertise does lie within the stretch or elastic realm. But understand that I do have alot of knowledge on the 8" stuff (as well as a pretty good collection of it). But since the 8" stuff can't really compare to the Elastic stuff in total value and rarity I'm always into the Elastic's (just you wait daddy).

      I figured I would see what you guys thought of this list.

      I would like someone to put this list in a most rare to least rare order.

        Well stated ole' Mego Wizard. However, I would also remove the FF Spider-Man from that list. I would also have to add the green palitoy Cap and throw in the green palitoy Lizard. I do not think many of us realize the rarity of the green Palitoy cards...

          Hey,
          Some others for consideration:
          Boxed Zorro / loose Zorro
          Mighty Mightor
          Jaws from Moonraker
          Dare Brothers and flyer
          Flintstones playset and figures
          Carded Franz Beckenbauer
          True, some are not true Megos but affilate companies of Mego, but they all tend to count in the end.

              For Prototypes......

              Does John B own a one of a kind Bruce Jenner sculpt in metal ?

              That must be up there for rarity.

                I think the best way to go about this would be to ask what there is only one or two known examples of and you would have your list. Putting them in any order would be difficult if not impossible. Off the top of my head:
                boxed jet jungle 1
                carded wonderwoman 2
                Bill GAH prototype 1
                web handed aquaman 1
                sleeved wondergirl 1
                carded ff robin 2
                carded palitoy cap 1
                kresge shazam 2
                carded bradgate zaius 2
                carded bradgate soldier ape 1
                albino soldier ape 2
                grease prototypes 1 set
                I'm sure theres many more I'm not thinking of, especially wgsh items.
                would any stretchies make this list?

                      Ive seen Kromedome a few times on ebay, and in his box, maybe I just got lucky in seeing him but I dont think he would qualify as super rare, also has any one found the grease figures or what?

                        What about stuff like the Enterprise Gift Set? Should that be on the list?

                            So how many known examples of the elastic heroes are there then?

                              How about Casshan (only 2 exist), The New Avengers and - while not a true Mego - the Ledy Green Lantern?

                                What, because I just made a list of some rare Mego pieces? And some may not be as rare as others??? Ohhhh boy, what ever should I do???

                                It's not like you can just go down to the nearest toy store and get them. Plus, they ALL still go for hundreds!! Just because you have access to some of them doesn't mean everyone does. And even if you do, they are still in low quantity.

                                So, I stand by it, if you don't like it , don't post.
