    Original Mego Factory Head Molds Found




    Some amazing pieces of Mego history recently surfaced in the form of these original factory head molds for the Mego Elastic Heroes line of toys. Pictured above the Spider-Man head mold reunited with his “child” a factory produced Spider-Man. Original Mego factory molds are not regularly or commonly found with most feared destroyed decades ago.




    Above is Superman and his factory produced counterpart (who sadly no longer has a body) courtesy of* the website Collectingsuperman.com. Both of these pieces were found in a collection of a person who inhereted them from a relative known to be a sculptor. Check out the gallery below for more shots, hopefully this isn’t the last of rare mego factory items to surface. * *

                        Is this going to make it to the RSS feed? It hasn't been updated since May of last year.

                          How do these molds work ?

                          Are they hollow and the vinyl is dumped in ?

                          Or are these the insides of a mold ?

                          Very neat find

                              I don't work for the Museum, but I don't understand what you mean. The Mego Museum RSS feed is here, and it appears to be current:
