            as well as my memory allows….
            Spock was my first.
            Had Kirk and Klingon - I remember Klingon was a gift that came in a mailer box (have a pic somewhere to show).
            I had Bats, Robin, Supes, Spidey, Hulk, Joker and Riddler. Seems I had Iron Man, or perhaps it was my brothers and I hung onto it once he lost interest.
            I am fairly certain I went through a couple Bats and Supes…one Batman got stolen from me in Kindergarten when I took it for show-and-tell…someone took it right out of my cubby.
            My cousins had freaking everything…every darn figure and I was too naive to know my Mom could get them.
            My Aunt and Uncle are packrats - save everything…I guarantee there are boxes of mego-goodness in their attic and garage. I have begged to let me sort the stuff out and at least take pics of it all, but they think I am insane for asking and shrug it off as too much trouble to go through.

                Of the 8 inch figures featured, I only had the last 6: Superman, Batman, Robin, Spider-Man, Captain America, and the Hulk. Also the Batmobile, Batcave and Spider-Mobile for these figures.

                      Same here, but between my brothers and I, we went through 2 or 3 Batmans, Robins, Spider-Mans, etc. because they would break, and they were cheap enough to buy another one.

                        Yep, my dad used to give me the speech every time I wanted a new robin or superman. "You've had 3 robins, 2 batmen, etc." , "I'll take care of it this time, dad! Really!"

                          Six of the 8" and two of the 12". However, I had multiples of many of those specific characters through the years. Never had any apes or Trek figures.

                            My memory is a tad foggy on the Megos cause I had a bunch, my friends all had a bunch and my Godmother's son had a WHACK of them.

                            Personally I know I had all the first five Star Treks and the Enterprise as well as the POTA treehouse and a whack of those figures (I know the OP said Super Heroes but please bear with my age addled brain).

                            I had Batman, Robin, Superman and Spiderman for sure. I am pretty confident I had Aquaman and Green Arrow. I also had a naked Robin from a friend and a spare Superman suit without boots or emblem. I tossed the supes suit on Robin and my Mom glued a starbursty earring high up on his chest and we called him Gemboy (I was big into Legion of Super-Heroes comics).

                            I remember I once saw Catwoman, Supergirl and Batgirl in the store and thought "eww, girls" and passed on them in favour of some Big Jims. I don't believe I ever saw a Tarzan, Conan, AE or Teen Titan in the wild.

                            Then Star Wars hit like a tonne of bricks and the Megos went in a yard sale.

                            Many many years later, I'm guessing around 1986, I found two 12' Spiderman BNIB still on the shelf in this small independent toy store here in town. I am positive these guys were on the shelf for years. I bought one with the cash I had on hand and never did go back for the second. Sold it a few years later at a comic shop for $50 gas money having never actually opened the box myself.

                              Wow. Nice find!

                              I did have some trek figures and a friend had a human torch which I really liked. We use to have adventures in the enterprise which I also had. I remember getting a bat cave but don't recall playing with it much. Maybe I wrecked it pretty quickly

                              Never saw a Tarzan or captain America until I got them on eBay last year
