Re: Mego 50th Anniversary-- The Return!
I am waiting for the original comic purple and green Catwoman reissue. I just never got in to the silly "cat eyes" and tail thing. BTW, I just buy mine frome FTC and Her sister site wwhose name escapes me. Must be "Old Timers' Disease".

Mego is also doing Scarecrow for the 50th line. No word on Mr. Freeze yet but would be nice.

Probably ClassicTVToys.com Larry-- FYI I think the Mego's are much better quality than the FTC figs.

Classic TV Toy.com IS the one, Andy. I held off on the 1st release of the Classic Grey/Green Cat Woman because the outfit just did not look correct. Because of the way FTC has raised their prices, I'm going to start buying from Mego directly.

My younger brother collected original Megos - and I enjoyed them through him. I hated that Mr. Mxyzpltk was a regular 8" figure, so I bought him the little Mr. Mxyzpltk "Bendy" figure. Much better scale!

I so clearly remember playing with these as a kid. We had a laundry shoot in the bathroom "you dropped clothes/towels down to the laundry room in the basement" I stuck two copper pipes in it and batman and robin slide up and down the bat poles all day long.

Interesting. If they used the comic book Freeze as the template as seen below on this 1968 cover of Detective Comics #373:rickkrefft wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 4:12 pm Mego is also doing Scarecrow for the 50th line. No word on Mr. Freeze yet but would be nice.
I would be very interested in buying it. The '68 Freeze's face has a great, maniacal look that would work well in the Mego format.

Your costume is amazing and I'll echo you looked just like Sir Graves. That's actually who I thought it was when I just looked at the pic.hisyouthfulward wrote: ↑Sat Aug 27, 2022 10:44 am Robin was the first Mego I owned, followed by Batman. I first became aware of them by seeing a full page ad in Famous Monsters of Filmland. I think I purchased them at my local Ben Franklin 5 and 10 store. By the by, I found that if you took a twist tie and went around Robin at the wrists, his gloves would look more like they were drawn in the comic books. For those interested (since the topic worked its way into this one) here I am as Sir Graves Ghastly at the Greenfield Village Hallowe'en Nights walk a few years back with my beautiful wife and kids
"Hmmm... I don't like the twist this joke is taking. Let us away! Let us away!"
