It's one of the 60's "Hush up toys".

Is it Mego,or some other company who stole the name?(Mego wasn't around in the 60s,were they?)

I originally thought the same thing, but through Halcomb's book learned different.

"The Mego Corporation was founded in the early 1950s by David Abrams and was mostly known prior to 1971 as a producer of dime store toys." (via Wiki)

I had a bunch of those planes as a kid !
Didn't have a clue they were Mego, though.
I used to play with them with my rubber King Kong jiggler.

I wonder if Mego made them, or just repackaged product from some jobber in HK. Probably the latter...

Before they got into figures and major licensing they were this company. So glad they got into licensing. Where the hell would we all be if they hadn't. Many of us would probably be in adjoining cells in maximum security.

Cool little planes. I think I played with ones like those but not Mego ones. Must have been a common import through 60-70's

If anyone wants them I put them up for auction!
