Swamp Thing Mego line?

Sep 16, '16, 3:30 PM

I just got my brand-spanking new copy of Back Issue #92. The always awesome Andy Mangels has an article on Swamp Thing in Film and TV, and in it, he points to trade ads that announced merchandising in support of the original, Wes Craven directed 1982 Swamp Thing feature. Among those listed was "Mego Corp for a full line of toys".!!!

Did we know this? I was gobsmacked by this myself. Of course Mego was in its death throes, but just imagine...Swamp Thing Megos!

This is also has an article on the "Super Heroes" trademark by our own John "The Mego Stretch Hulk" Cimino, but I'm sure he'll fill you in on it later.

Just cracked this one open, but it looks like a great issue!
