Thank you to the administrators of this site for maintaining such an excellent website, and thank you to the members for making it a friendly and informative place.
One of the things that I would appreciate clarification on is the Mego production process for manufacturing / printing the backers that the bubbles were attached to throughout the 1970's.
I ask because it is puzzling that there are so few of only certain packages.
Some of those of which seem to be quite rare are Wonder Woman, Green Goblin, Green Arrow, Aquaman, and Iron Man. There might be more, but these seem to be very hard to find.
At the same time, based on what is available on the market, there are lots and lots of other heroes such as Superman, Spiderman, Batman, and others.
I am a complete novice on this subject, but when Mego printed the backers to attach the bubbles to, wouldn't they all be printed in significant numbers?
I guess I am thinking Mego used something like a printing plate to make the backer. Of course it could have been something else.
It would seem to be quite costly to make a printing plate, or whatever they used to make the backer to print only a handful or even a hundred of a backer such as Wonder Woman. It doesn't seem to be cost efficient at all.
That is why I feel I am missing a piece of the Mego backer production process puzzle.
What was the process for producing the backers for the bubbled figures?
Also, why are some so rare? It would seem that in the interest of cost efficiency, Mego wouldn't go to the expense of only printing low numbers of a backer.
If there is anything else you can add to this, I would appreciate it.
Thank you for your knowledge and your insight.
