Regular Issue James Bond and VIllain Hugo Drax
Watch our epsiode of Vintage Mego on James Bond Moonraker
Star Wars had such a big impact in the late seventies that even
James Bond got into the Sci-Fi game with this 1979 release.
If it was Sci-Fi in the seventies, Mego bought the license and
put a best effort into producing several lines including a 3″ line
similiar to the Comic Action Heroes. .
Dr. Holly Goodhead was changed to the kid friendly “Holly” while
production delays forced Jaws to be a European exclusive (Thanks
to Chris Johnson for these minty boxed figures)
While the sometimes campy Moonraker was a hit at the box office,
buyer support for the line was minimal resulting in only three of
the 12″ figures ever hitting US soil.
Chris Johnson provides us with a look at the very rare European
exclusive deluxe James Bond, what a shame this didn’t see a wider
release.
Chris Johnson gives us a great shot of actor Richard Kiel and his
Mego counterpart this summer.
