(In our endless quest to preserve Mego history, we’ve decided to create a series of blog photo posts that showcase a rare and before now, little discussed toy on the Mego forums. )
Before the Secret Identity Sets, Before Doctor Krome Dome, heck even before Amigo there was the Baron and Yankee Bravo. Two of the three Montgomery Ward’s exclusive figures to the Mego Fighting Yank line. Offered in the 1973 catalog along with Hombre and an exclusive playset, Yankee Bravo and The Baron would not return in 1974 and are now considered some of the toughest Mego figures to find, period.
The original Catalog page for the Baron, Hombre and Yankee Bravo. Only “Hombre” would return in 1974.
Above is the Baron, he is near complete as his medallion is missing.
The Baron’s original catalog box and some of the fun gear he came with including a detonator and explosives. Don’t mess with the baron.
Yankee Bravo is missing his eye patch which by our count is far tougher to find than a Robin Mask. I am really not sure what is up with the medallions, probably a way to compete with the GI Joe Adventure team.
