    I think RM Robin is rarer than a CS Spidey, but really it is the Mask that makes it extra rare. I guess the same could be said about the yellow sleeves and shorts Robin suit. I would also like to suggest that the Large S Superman is rarer than both these. You don't often see a nice one of those unless it came mint off a Kresge or in a solid Box. Of course a complete Zorro, I think will top them all.

      I agree

      Clemso..in some cases i have seen the mask for robin go for $200 easy because it is just needed to complete that figure.Superman is a rare find as well with the large "S",and zorro is tough enough as it is to find at all.But i still think RM robin is the rarest to find mint and complete.

        No I still have one just want another one. By the way Megospidey it is your fault that I got inot this spidey frenzy. I am now in therapy.

            I still remember when the Romulan, Andorian and Mugato were included as "rare Mego's".

              Wow 500 bucks, thats not bad at all. A carded "supposed" early Aquaman just went on ebay for $1300. So is that even more rare or Ebay-flation?
              If you need a hole, I can dig it.

                Here are some quick pics of my RM Robin. He is in mint condition with no freying to the cape. Outfit is ribbed. Just wish I had the original mask.

                    Just tossing this out. Here's a few loose Megos that may be harder to find complete than RM Robin with original mask:

                    Zorro

                    Jet Jungle

                    Clark Kent

                    Here's a few Foreign Issues that may be tougher to find complete:

                    Ledy Iron Man

                    Ledy Green Arrow

                    Ledy Tarzan

                    Miura Ultraman Leo

                    BASA Six Million Dollar Man (Yet to be found)

                    BASA Lex Luthor (Yet to be found)

                    There's lots of variations that are extremely hard too:

                    Blue Haired Frankenstein

                    Red Haired Dracula

                    Broken and Diamond CSS

                      For myself back in the day, i put most of my past collection together prior to 1998. So this was before we had the wonderful resources we have now. It was almost impossible to pick anything up this rare outside of trade shows and conventions. RM robin was almost the death of me at one point. CSS was tough but i think i actually passed on a couple of those before i bought the one i did. RM robin was bought the moment i saw it.

                            I think RM Robin with mask is harder to find than CS Spidey, but easier to find without the mask.

                              Wow Heath, you've just reminded me why Mego collecting is a life time hobby. It would take that long to get that list, bluehaired Frankenstein and red haired Dracula, i have not seen many of those, although there has been one of each on ebay of late.
