People everywhere love the idea of owning unique collector items that will really look good within their households. There is a certain doll zone that will sell many products to these wonderful human beings who take such pride in antiques. Everyone around knows all about the great company called Mego that was in existence so many years ago. This is one industry that really sold good looking action figures to everyone who lived around this great planet.
More than thirty years ago this company realized that every human being on this planet loved super heroes and all of the great things that they did. This is one reason why Mego made it a point to have a important conversation with the comic group known as DC. The two teams put their heads together and decided to make small models of Robin, Batman, Shazam and Superman.
The statues were eight inches tall and they looked very extraordinary to the average consumer. People living within America were very proud of this particular product that only cost a few dollars. On today's market a person can spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on each of these models. There are many foreign figures which are similar to these models that went through different production channels.
The Latin version of Superman has darker features and his costume is a bit different from the American version. At the time a person could also obtain the foreign one at a less expensive cost since production expenses were lower. Celebrities all around wanted to have their faces attached to one of these very unique statues that were very popular.
They focused on shows like "The Dukes Of Hazzard, " "The Walton's, " "Happy Days, " "Three's Company, " "Laverne and Shirley, " "Star Trek" and "Starsky and Hutch." All of these action statues looked very similar to their characters on television. Even though Mego did a great job with the faces of the male figures their female images were not that great.
Many of these products were purchased by boys and they did not want to take home a female statue. Retailers would quickly discount the girl characters whenever they arrived at their store. Unfortunately Catherine Bach does not resemble her Daisy Duke statue at all. Everyone at Mego knew that the Daisy head was not an original.
Any person with eyes could see that Mego made a huge mistake when they created the eight inch version of Wonder Woman. She had a baby face and did not come with any accessories. Batgirl, Supergirl, Cat Woman and Isis were all made from the same head mold. Each of these items looked silly to the serious collector.
There were very few people who paid to see "The Black Hole" since many science fiction fans were saving their money for "Star Wars." Kenner was smart enough to produce a huge sum of "Star Wars" products that made large sums of money for their company.
