Millions of people like to decorate their homes with a variety of items which reflect the past and present. Some of them will visit a doll zone when they decide to make a change in their household. It is no mystery that there are many toy companies who have made unusual looking statues which stood at eight inches or more. Mego was the perfect figure manufacturer during the 70's and they were delighted to model statues that resembled fictional characters.
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.
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.
It did not take long for people to see figures of "The Walton's, " "The Dukes Of Hazzard, " "Happy Days, " "Laverne and Shirley, " "Starsky and Hutch" and "Star Trek" on the shelves at toy stores. The figures that were designed after male characters looked spectacular. Mego had a harder time getting the faces of female characters correct.
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.
