    What is your favorite Mego packaging?

    As much as I like Mego toys, I collect them as much for the packaging too.
    What is your favorite Mego packaging from any Mego line?
    My favorite I think is the photobox batcycle box. Love the kaboom outline and the capes fluttering...

    That's a cool one.

    My favorite is the 12" Superman series. I LOVE the graphics on it. Pulled from many comic sources; Curt Swan, Neal Adams, Ross Andru. Redrawn, but unlike many Mego products, redrawn REALLY well. Mego's best Super Hero packaging, IMHO.

        Micronaut aliens card backs and terrorphant and hornetroid box covers. Best. Artwork. Ever.
        I am more than machine. More than man. More than a fusion of the two.

          Star trek phaser II box, CAH exploding bridge, and CAH FOS would be my favorites that I've owned at one point. Zorro and GWS would be for the ones I've only seen online.
          It's all good!

            Just for pure nostalgia, the 1979 WGSH cards. Those are the ones I vividly remember seeing in stores.

              I love the Solid boxes best. No real childhood/nostalgic connection (I only ever had the Western guys like that), it's just my "grown up" preference.

                          WGSH Boxes. Probably due to nostalgia, as most of the Megos I got as a kid were boxed, but seeing a whole bunch of boxes together pleases the artist in me. Could be the colors, could be the uniformity of the packaging, but I much prefer those boxes over the carded versions.

                          All time favorite is the first release Spider-Man box. Love seeing the big Spidey on the back.
                          "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."

                            Solid box Batman. Meg073 made me a repro and I still get that choked up feeling just by looking at it.
                            If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                              I think right now for me it's the 12" comic Superman in the yellow box and the photobox Batcopter. Mainly because I don't own either.
