Boxed Ledy superheroes: how many known to exist?

[cjefferys]

How did this thread become the "Mxy appreciation thread"?

[MegoMonk]

When I was a kid I had a Myx, even though I had no idea who he was. My main source of reference for Superman was the George Reeves tv series. But, every kid in my neighborhood who had Megos had a Myx. We would make up powers for him, since we did not know what he could actually do. I did not find out more about him until years later, especially the fact that he was supposed to be tiny.

[MegoNinja]

I always felt that mxy should have been made like one of the munchkin's from the WOZ series, in the comics he is a 3 foot high little imp, but the Mego doll he is a 6 foot middle aged man with a beer gut. Is there a reason they didn't give him a smaller body?

[Wee67]

When I was a kid, I just thought he just didn't look anything like the Mxy I knew. And if you're going to turn him into something different, I'm really not impressed with his transformation into a fat in orange and purple pajamas!

Of course, I have him loose, carded and boxed now

[cjefferys]

Good question, I've always liked him too. I even bought one when I was a kid. When the Super Foes first came out, I picked up him and Joker (yes, I chose Mxy over Riddler and Penguin, I guess I wanted someone for my Superman to fight). But the figure was definitely a peg warmer, I guess most kids didn't think a fat man in an orange and purple outfit was very cool, and he wasn't as recognizable a character to many kids compared to the Batman villians. So, he's always been very common and low priced, even boxed, so I guess that doesn't give him very much "mystique" compared to the other WGSH. There are a few of us out there who like the little chubby goofball though.

[MegoNinja]

is there a reason everyone hate's mxyzptlk? I don't think he is that uncool, actually I quite like him, the fact that he is worth very little attracts me even more because I can get him so easily (I bought him boxed for next to nothing). Why does every Mego collector look down on him so much?

[cjefferys]

the reason I am not patient with this sort of thing is because people here say thing's are really common but when I look for them they are nowhere to be found, I should really increase my seaching abilities.

Don't worry about not being able to find the figure easily. When I say it's "common", I just mean relative to other Ledys. But really, compared to boxed US Megos, it's not common at all, but rather downright scarce. There is definitely a limited number out there (how ever many were in the warehouse find), but it just doesn't seem to garner huge prices because a) most Mego collectors don't really collect Ledys and b) the character is historically unpopular with collectors. There seems to be just about enough available to meet the small demand there is for the figure, so prices stay pretty low. But don't worry, they do turn up now and then (I found mine at a toy show actually).

[MegoNinja]

lol, thanks, I typed in Mxyzptlk, mego and lili ledy and different combinations of those words but could not find this auction, what was I doing wrong? Maybe I was on the german ebay or some thing.
thanks a whole heap for this guys, the reason I am not patient with this sort of thing is because people here say thing's are really common but when I look for them they are nowhere to be found, I should really increase my seaching abilities.
I think I'll take your advice though and not buy this until I really have trouble trying to get one.
anyway I think I have hijacked this thread enough, werent we talking about rarity?

[cjefferys]

He also accepts a best offer. I believe someone here once offered $125 and the guy counter offered with $150. Give that a try, don't be too impatient and just pay the $210. (don't worry, it's been for sale for quite a while, so I doubt someone will buy it before you have a chance to have a best offer accepted).

MEGO Mr.Mxyzptlk LILI LEDY MIB SUPER HERO SUPERMANS FOE - (eBay item 220070023760 end time Dec-05-07 13:43:21 PST)

[MegoNinja]

i think that 210 dollar one is gone, I can't seem to find it, I wouldn't mind buying it, I am very impatient.

[cjefferys]

where are all of these 100 dollar Mxy's?
I would love to add one to my collection of 'not so rare not so expensive' Mxyzptlk thing's

I saw about three boxed ones on ebay during the summer and fall of last year, and they constantly sold for under 100 bucks each (around $80-90ish). I haven't seen one on recently (other than the $210 one that's always hanging around in an ebay store) but if one showed up now, it would probably go for a bit more, as there seems to be more people bidding on the Mexican stuff than there were previously.

I have no numbers to prove it, but I would assume less were made in Mexico. I assume this because I also assume there was less of a demand. Mexico has always been not as well of as the US or other western countries and Japan. I'm assuming people just could not afford toys in the numbers that they were purchased in other countries.

Yeah,it seems you see more Ledy Myxs on eBay than US versions. Could be me though.
