Anyone remember these fake Mego Banners?

I bought the Supes off of Mr. Fish. Then I found out they were bootlegs. You live you learn.

A bootleg is a copy of an original, thus they weren't bootlegs; just something new being passed off as vintage.

Those were the days. Remember the excitement of the phony silkscreened heroes?

Thanks for the clarification....Bootleg...Bogus...whatever you want to call it, it's not original.

Now that was a good old fashioned tar and feathering. Another example of something that would have sold very well as a custom and didn't need to be passed off as original.

Well sense there is no real intrest in the fake banners I wont bother asking by buddy. Still let me know if anyone fills like they have to have one. I asked him about making them and he said easy pesy.

[starsky]

they would look pretty cool in my toyroom, how much would one cost if he were to make it?

[Meule]

I wouldn't mind that Batman either

The only time i've ever heard of these was back when the Museum first opened it's doors, there was a thread about them.
At the time, they were well known as being NOT REAL.

Great thread .....
The subject itself if now nostalgic and a good read

[Mr Havoc]

Well I will look into what they would cost to make and Ill just pass the cost on I have no need to make a thing from them. As soon as I get a price ill let you all know. It would help to get pics of them all so I have something to go on, or I can just make up my own design.

Oh how I remember this one...Jonathan Moore's scam got a couple of members on the old Yahoo list. Shame of it all, besides getting a couple of members with fake outfits, was the fact that he was a talented customiser. I still have his skinny mego cards that he made for the slim bubble packaging. If I remember correctly the SS above were found in a Patent Lawyers office...or so he tried to scam us with.
