Some amazing pieces of Mego history recently surfaced in the form of these original factory head molds for the Mego Elastic Heroes line of toys.

Pictured above the Spider-Man head mold reunited with his “child” a factory produced Spider-Man. Original Mego factory molds are not regularly or commonly found with most feared destroyed decades ago.

Both of these pieces were found in a collection of a person who inhereted them from a relative known to be a sculptor. Check out the gallery below for more shots, hopefully this isn’t the last of rare mego factory items to surface.
