Neat! I've never seen them before.

Hi Gavin,

We don't know a whole heck of a lot about them either, other than they clearly aped the Mego figures and were probably unlicensed.

Some folks here do collect them and likely could give you insight as to their value.

Punny guy

Brian,

Did you mean to pun?

What are these things made of? They look more like statues than
toys. with moveable parts.

[palitoy]

Um, I meant to do that.

These are plastic with velvet-like flocking covering their bodies. I remember lots of figural ornaments designed this way in the 70's.

I have some 70's Christmas ornaments (Santa, Mrs. Claus, ect) that look to be about that same size with felt on them...

I believe these were made in the UK.

[Mr Mego]

Very interesting! I've not seen that before, good to know more vintage POTA figs, great find!!

Nice one.

I never even knew of these figures' existence until around a month ago, but I think they're pretty cool!

Don't these look like they have the same aesthetic as the bootleg/prototype/custom Nicholson Joker that Corey/Swakcat had on his table? (it was part of the collection from the estate of murdered Batman collector)

agree with DOC...

and honestly the detail is awful

just being honest.

i'm such a homer when it comes to MEGO

[megocrazy]

Um, I meant to do that.

Hey guys can we quit monkeying around?

[Neutron X]

I love these guys! It's great the way they look like Mego figures. I have a picture somewhere that one of these figures has a license sticker on the foot.

I found pic so here it is!

[Mr Mego]

That's great to found out! Lucky, it's legal.
