    It's crazy to hold a piece of Mego history like this, the Spider-Man mold has red plastic residue on it.
    Thanks, Brian, but you deserve a ton of credit, too. Your toy knowledge is invaluable.

    I'm kind of surprised that the Mego stretch guy hasn't jumped in here yet.

    Anyone have an Elastic Superman head for sale?

      Amazing find! Hopefully some 8" molds will turn up some day.

        Thank you to you both! This has to be one of the best discoveries in recent years!

              Not that into stretch toys but that's still a really cool find.
              You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                Has it ever happened in the Mego world? I know of a few molds for old Bullmarks and the head for the Ooze-It toy in collections, but that's it in terms of molds. Also, THANKS TO STEVE!

                Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! 'amazing, that is. You and have talked about this kind of thing before, but yeah, this is thrilling and it's not even in the wheelhouse of what I collect.

                  Sure, the Mego stretch figures themselves are kind of a niche corner of Mego collecting, but finding molds for anything Mego is a big deal. It's fantastic that these showed up at all. I want to touch one!

                    HOLY COW! I have the Batman, and I never knew what it was until now! I bought it from an ad in Toy Fare twenty five years ago. Met the guy in a mall in NJ, handed him $20 and went home with it.

                                Just goes to show that you never know what's next to pop up. Very cool!
