Mego Super Heroes Only $1.44/Each in 1974
The 2007 book, Mego 8″ Super-Heroes: World’s Greatest Toys!* is one of the best printed references I’ve seen when it comes to Mego’s 8-inch scale superhero action figures of the seventies, but flipping through that book I never once imagined that the toys could have been so very cheap as we see in this 1974 newspaper ad. I was born a few years too late to get into these Mego heroes, but that hasn’t stopped me from appreciating the toys from a distance. Great designs, lots of wonderful accessories, and so many temptations that I will now look away from the Mego figures and try to forget that they exist.
