Original Mego Factory Head Molds Found

[darkmonkeygod]

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.

You've bowled me over! Remember anything else about buying it or anything else the fellow was selling in TS? Thanks for posting this!

1987 or 88:

Whenever I got an issue of Toy Shop, I always bought at least one item out of it (superstition I guess.) Saw an ad with a lot of misc. items, including "Bronze Batman Bust Mold - $20. Called the guy (NY number,) who gave me the dimensions and an overall description, and I told him I would take it. Got my address info (NJ,) and then asked me if I would be in the Paramus area the next evening, and would I like to meet, pay him, and take the mold home (no PayPal back then.)

Met him at Garden State Plaza, and the rest is history. Had this on display ever since, but really didn't know what it went to, always assuming it was for a puppet. Now I feel certain it was a good investment.

Soooo... who's gonna start producing resin heads from these things?!??

[The Batman Professor]

Resin is not possible - it's a one piece mold. Only vinyl or rubber would work.

I puzzled about giving this a try in the past, but always thought the better of it.

[Iron Mego]

I's just playin' anyway.

Awesome that you have that. It would be great to get all 3 together for a group shot.

This is the historical stuff keeps the Mego Museum 2nd to none of all the collector websites.

Jeez! This is awesome! Who would have thought we'd know the location of three of these molds!

They made Hulk as well as Plas, correct? So he's out there too.

That is amazing! Heck, I probably read that ad. lol

[Werewolf]

That's really cool the Batman mold has now been found too.

[Meule]

No way, this is so friggin cool. And for $20, just incredible.

I hope all these pics are being stored in the library?
