1984, I was at my comic shop and I had been eyeing a 12" Batman and 9" Robin for a while. So, one day I decided it was time to pull the trigger between those (I forget how much they were total, but more than retail, obviously) or Giant-Sized X-Men #1.
I want to say the Mego dolls were cheaper than the comic, or it was that I could never justify to my Mom paying $40 for a comic book (which I think was the value at the time), so the Mego dolls it was!
Of course, I wish I grabbed that X-Men comic, but who knows what condition I would have kept it in (bagged, but probably stored wrong). I still have my Mego Batman & Robin though, in the boxes (but removed more than a few times!).
