if you were fortunate enough to find this figure in this packaging, you have one of the 5 rarest packaged figures that exist

[G.A.tor]

if you have this figure in this package, it is worth WAY more than the average AF 15

this set of Montgomery Ward's exclusive mail away Alter Ego figures, have sold for in excess of $12,000 before

The Fist Fighters were among my fav's as a kid... the Robin and Riddler were 1 per box

[G.A.tor]

while spiderman is one of the most common (along with batman, the only figure produced with every wave), this costume variant, known as the Circle Suit, is quite rare

[G.A.tor]

carded CAH in the day were common, but today, very difficult to still find in the package

[G.A.tor]

carded riddlers are likely in the top 5 of most difficult to find today (even back in the day, they must have been tough)

[G.A.tor]

the 3rd Series of Star Trek aliens were tough back in the day, and very scarce in today's collector market

[G.A.tor]

here is an example of what my collection looked like a year ago, it continues to grow daily, if I am lucky

in the stores, the last runs were the toughest...carded Green arrow, Lizard, Green Goblin, Iron Man, Riddler are among the most sought after and rarest figures today...all commanding 4-5 figures when they come up for sale...

 

depending on regional distribution, some areas of the country never got particular asst, and others were loaded ...

 

the Teen Titans were widely distributed at the end of the line, and were closed out by most every major store...but today, they command huge premiums!

That is a sweet looking collection!

This thread reminds of how nice it would be to have a comic toy related section on the boards.

[G.A.tor]

That is a sweet looking collection!

thanks...and I am always looking to add to it...

if anyone has any of these for sale, PM me and i will give you LARGE sums of money for them

[G.A.tor]

this next picture would likely take more $'s today, to assemble, than the cost of an action 1, or Detective 27 or NM AF15

As I said Rick knows all things Mego

Very cool, Rick! Thanks for the primer on Mego figures. The only ones I ever had as a kid were the Planet of the Apes figures. I also had the POTA village, and the Star Trek bridge. (But no Star Trek figures, I played with the POTA figures on the Star Trek bridge, !)

 

All of that stuff is still at my mom & dad's house. I was fortunate to have parents who saved everything. Every once in a while I will drag it all out and look at it when I'm visiting them. Those toys bring back great memories!

[Old Fashion PB and J]

I had none of these. I had real action figures when I was a kid.
