    Is This Mego Commercial Out There Somewhere?

    I feel like I've seen most of Mego's TV spots from Dare Brothers to Bubble Yum Baby to Ballbusters. I was listening to the 'Forgotten TV' podcast (episode 5 The Super 70's Part 2). The host slides in 70's commercials and this episode, being superhero-focused, used several Mego commercials throughout. At 21:40, there's the audio from a Mego commercial I've never seen. Its not for a particular product but rather for a shopping spree contest. It tells listeners to look for a 8" superhero display at you local toy store and you can win a $1,000 shopping spree. I'm pretty sure its from a video because it references several visuals like "send to this address" and "this poster." It also says if you buy an 8" superhero, you "get this poster free!"

    Is this commercial posted somewhere and I've missed it (likely)? Also, what was the promotional poster you got for buying a figure?
