    I remember I saw that at a toy show once or twice. But this one is not in my celeb collection.

      Mego was asleep at the wheel when they didn't snatch this one while Mattel's head was turned.

      I didn't know ChemToy made "dolls". I just know them for those small cheap-o figurines.

        "So weird!"

        Get a Hot Toys Black Widow and recreate this action scene:

          I think when Mattel snagged the property early to make their line of figures for 'Welcome back Kotter', that was probably the end of Mego considering any product line for Travolta. By this time, I think they were licking their wounds on Star Wars and going after sci-fi properties.

            Yeah I have to think Mego passed or somehow was never offered the license. They seemed to be big on celebrities during this point and signed a bunch of people they never got to market. Chemtoy is an odd choice for this, to my knowledge this is their only action figure or doll.

                    Interesting! Who? Considering some of the ones that did make it to market (Captain & Tennille, Sonny Bono, etc.) it would be fun to compare to the ones that didn't.
