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 Superman made in one Latin country has a bigger head than the one that was produced in America. The Spanish version sold for a little less and this pleased many individuals living in that particular place. After the success of these heroes Mego decided to go after the television industry.
Mego made a conscience decision to duplicate actors and actresses from "Happy Days, " "Laverne and Shirley, " "Starsky and Hutch, " "Three's Company" and "Star Trek." The male characters were very tastefully done on every level possible. Many of the female figures were pitiful and very forgettable.
They would recycle past female figure heads from bigger statues that were on the market. This was a great way to save money since it was more expensive to produce a new face. The smart individual will notice that Daisy Duke from the Hazzard collection looks nothing like the actress who played the part.
This is also true for the Supergirl, Batgirl, Wonder Woman, Isis and Cat Woman eight inch figures that were sold in retail stores. All of these statues mentioned had the same baby face look upon them. Even though this travesty was happening the company went on to produce famous figures from certain films that were around at that time. They turned down the chance to make characters from "Star Wars" and decided to go with "The Black Hole" instead.
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.
