do you still have them with robins mask ? that would be cool if you did

This is the picture that I posted here back in 2008. I found them in a mislabeled box in my Mom's storage. I had thought them to be long gone. My mother packed them away intact with boxes that I saved and all in a bag that wound up in a different box then my things I knew about. I still have them all today... a lot more than was in that 1974 picture. It was like finding gold to me. I found my Enterprise and Treks, too (there are pics in my Gallery). These are all of my "never sells"

Fantastic pics, I think this is the first time I've seen a childhood pic of a RM Robin. And they were in such complete and nice condition, how long did you have them by that point? When I was a kid, I would loose Mego gloves within weeks, and it wouldn't take long for my Megos to start looking kinda beat up.

Seeing a RMR in the wild like that is like seeing a picture of Bigfoot!

LOL. That almost got a spit-take.

I've posted this one before, but it tells a lot about me. To this day I'm primarily a Superman and Shazam collector. This pic speaks volumes.

Hey, mods. Not sure if this has been brought up or if something exists, but how about a forum exclusively to post our childhood pics? THe next time I visit my parents I'll have to go through photos. There's a bunch of embarassing ones of me posing with toys in my Star Wars PJ's.

A beautiful sight to behold! It's like going back in a time machine. You must have been thrilled beyond belief to have found these gems.

I got my original Supes, RC Batman, and RM Robin in solid boxes. I was very careful with my Megos. Always put them away in a box when I was done playing, etc. I am not really sure why, other than I didn't want them looking beat up. The worst damage was to my circle suit spidey. He lost his right hand in a swinging from a web accident. His hand was taped on but is the reason I then saved up for the spider-man in the shot here. The circle suit then became a spider-man imposter for many adventures. All my heroes were T-1s. I never knew WGSHs were made in the new T-2 style until I joined here. I thought Mego had only used T-2 for Trek. In fact, as a kid I got a McCoy as a gift and he was a T-1 and I thought someone at the factory had messed up and gave him the wrong body. Who knew?
