I thought Capt. America was usually short-packed, akin to Aquaman?

There's no way Mego should have been allowed not to make Dr. Doom. That's one of the biggest no-brainers in toy industry history. Complete and total misfire on a golden opportunity.
My other choice is not nearly as obvious. Strictly from a visual perspective and how colorful the character is, I think Vision would have done well. Put him on a blue backer card and he stands out from everything in that toy aisle. How many times have we been tempted to buy a figure just cause it looks cool, not. because we like or know the character? I think Vision would have been the ultimate Mego impulse buy.I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.
If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.Comment

Dr. Doom should've been a no-brainer. Marvel's #1 bad guy, and Mego could've easily recycled the armor from the World's Greatest Knights and some Tin Man parts to save a ton of design costs.
Dr. Strange would've been an easy one for Mego as well. Aside from making the costume, they already had a couple decent heads from one of their other lines that would've worked for Strange."It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."Comment

2 of these 4
Dr. Doom
DareDevil
Dr. Strange
Silver Surfer
That would have made a nice wave.
Since I'm not playing by the rules, here's my subsequent waves. This probably would have taken us well into the 1980s.
Wave 2: Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Storm, Colossus
Wave 3: Vision, Scarlet Witch, Beast, Wonder Man
Wave 4: Cyclops, Phoenix, Prof. X, Magneto
Wave 5: Moon Dragon, Yellow Jacket, Wasp, Ultron
Wave 6: Silver Surfer, Sub Mariner, Doc Octopus, Red Skull
Wave 7: Hawkeye, Black Panther, Iron Fist, Power Man
Wave 8: Tomb of Dracula, Werewolf My Night, Living Mummy, Frankenstein
Wave 9: Valkerie, Night Hawk, (Hell) Cat, Hercules
Wave 10: Black Widow, Angel, Ice Man, Ghost Rider
Wave 11: Kang, Dormammu, Thanos, Ambomination
Wave 12: Leader, Mysterio, Mandarian, 12-inch GalactusComment

Using Mego cost cutting formulas, these are the ones I could have seen them actually doing.
Daredevil: Red Batman head, red bodysuit with silkscreened DD, red hands and boots.
Doctor Doom: Iron Man head, knight and Tin Man armor, new tunic w/cape and hood.
Doctor Octopus: Penguin body, with soft goods tentacles like Lizard's tail, new head
Rhino: Hulk and Thing body, screenprinted suit, new head.
Namor: Retooled Spock head, flesh colored suit with screenprinted trunks and ankle wings.Comment

I always wanted to see The Leader as a villain he was seen a lot in comics but I was always frustrated he and no other comic villains were on the TV show.And I would have liked Chameleon for Spider-man. Seems like Chameleon could have been the Masketron equivalent with different masks or heads.Comment

While I like the design potential for Spider Woman and would have loved to see another Marvel female, I'd have to go with Dr Doom and Doc Ock. They're two of my favorite Marvel villains and are rather glaring holes in the toy line.Hey! Where's the waiter with the water for my daughter?

I would go for Spider-Woman. Dr. Doom seems like such an obvious choice. I don't know why they would not have done him.

Dr.Doom and Namor I wanted both at the time, and it drove me nuts that Mego didn't do them and then when the Famous covers came out they did not do Namor as well seriously WTH!!!!Last edited by kingdom warrior; May 27, '12, 8:38 PM.Comment

My choices would have to be Dr. Doom and the Red Skull. Both make so much sense and most the reasons have already been covered. Since it was only 2, I hard time leaving out Daredevil but I think the other 2 just seem like they should have been...Comment
