Mego Doctor WHO

In 1977 Mego and Denys Fisher embarked on a successful UK only figure line based on the BBC Sci Fi series Doctor Who.

Then in its fourteenth season, the show (no stranger to merchandising blitzes) was on a high due mainly to the popularity of its leading man, Tom Baker.

Mego's European sales agent (who was really working for Lion Rock manufacturing) contacted Neal Kublan (Mego VP of R&D) about creating the line for Denys Fisher. According to Kublan "[The sales agent] came back to the factory and said "The guys in England want Doctor Who" and so they made it." Kublan adds "I would close the license and they would make the goods and I would never see it, it would ship right out of the orient."

This attractive 10" line itself was a hit and the character range rivals many profitable mego US lines.
