              What an amazing find! Continues the huge week here at the MM.

              It seems unbelievable that the comic-head Supes prototype could surface after all these years, and yet there he is!

                      It will be interesting to see what it goes for. Nice to see some more Mego items showing up. Makes it promising that we may see stuff like the Spidey that's in the ad in one of the Horror Magazines...with the rectangle logo on the chest. Or maybe the Prototype Isis from one of the catalog shots with the necklace. Only time will tell. If this does well, you'll start to see more and more of items like this.

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

                            Hmmm, I never realized until now, just how much the 12" Batman sculpt resembles the Superman one....the exposed face part that is.

                            Neat find!

                              Great article, thanks to Brian for all of his help with figure. Also there will be some other Mego items from the Morris Kotzer collection in Hakes November auction.
