Imagine your Mego has special powers....

[HardyGirl]

Ok, not powers per se, but cool features, what would you want them to do? Would the Hulk have springs in his legs so that he can jump? Would Superman have a "hang-glide feature" cape so that he could appear to "fly"? Would Robin have a button in his palm, so when his fist hits it, he would exclaim, "Holy ____!"?

What "powers" would your Megos possess?

[toys2cool]

mine would be a little speaker on the Kiss figures that when you pressed them part of the song would play and maybe a laughing Joker

Only that cap be able to throw his shield.

The power to transport me to planet of the apes as a female chimp. That would be swell.

You mean female Megos having little Megos?

That would be awesome, no more spending money, lol.

None- One of the pure joys for me about Mego is there is no Kung Fu Grip, no "action" poses or features (besides the fist fighters which I never really got into), so it's all up to the kid to imagine.

^ Exactly! Imagination is a wonderful thing! It wasn't until years later, when Kenner's Super Powers line came out that I expected an action figure to "do something".

Interesting...I know these days that I don't think about those
kinda things...or want them...

But back when I was a kid? You kidding? All that stuff seemed uber-cool
and when I saw that "FLY AWAY ACTION" feature on those commercials
back in the day----you can bet it drove me crazy wanting to get one...
as did the spider web shooting Spider-Man, Fist Fighters, etc.

What kid DOESN'T want their action figure to have something extra...be it
an "action feature" or an accessory?

I see your point. Nothing beats the imagination. I still enjoy a good game of pretend w/ my Apes, or Star Trek or Action Jackson.

[Bionic Joe]

Well to me all the 8 inch ACTION JACKSON, WGSH,POTA, STAR TREK, MAD MONSTERS have a very special power they remind me of a time when i didn't worry about a job, paying bills fixing the car. they take me back to a simpler time in the mid 70s when i was a kid

How about a Human Torch who's head and hands light up
