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.
In the early 70's Mego hit it really big when they started to sell figures which resembled famous comic book characters. They decided to contact DC comics publication in order to use the likenesses of certain characters on their toy models. This particular book industry gave them permission to utilize the characters of Superman, Batman, Robin and Shazam.
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.
Sometimes the Spanish Superman figure looked a little bit strange when he was placed side by side with his United States counterpart. The foreign statues were also cheaper than the ones that were sold to American citizens. During the years this business produced other characters that were featured on many of the television series in America.
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.
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.
