Un-produced WGSH Playsets
Sadly, these prototype WGSH Adventure Sets were never produced. Advertised in the 1973 Mego Catalog, they take their inspiration (and in some cases actual objects) from Captain Action playsets, the precursor to Mego in the super hero action figure field.…
Wayne Foundation
A very rare item , the Wayne Foundation comes with a working elevator to help you traverse four floors of fun. This will be the Crown Jewel of your Mego Batman Collection until you get your Secret Identities. This playset…
Supervator
The Supervator is a slightly curious item invented for Mego by Marvin Glass and Associates, it is part toy and part game of skill as you attempt to slide your heros down the fishing wire to retrieve secret plans, you…
Spider-Car
Word has it from Neal Kublan that the Spider Car was Stan Lee’s idea, Kublan rejected it. As he recalled, “when you tell Stan Lee you don’t want to make a Spider Car, he takes it personally.” Lucky for us…
Jokermobile
The Jokermobile is big-fun! It’s perfectly perfect that the Seventies version of the Jokermobile is a converted VW Microbus!The Boxing glove trap-door is really neat! And the rooftop daisy that you can actually fill with liquid and squirt is an…
Hall of Justice
The Hall of Justice Prototype was featured in a 1976 Mego Trade advertisement, it’s actually got the Legion of Superheroes logo. Probably an error on the part of the designer, as comic knowledge wasn’t as big as it is…
Green Arrowcar
Possibly one of the coolest vehicles mego ever produced. It is surprising that Mego gave this supporting character a vehicle perhaps it was due to the influence DC had during the mid seventies in product development. They were the ones…
WGSH Carrying Case
The World’s Greatest Super Heroes Carrying Case was the earliest WGSH Accessory. It came in black or blue vinyl and nearly all examples suffer from a glue stain in the center of the paper, right behind Aquaman. Poor Aquaman. This…
Batcopter
The Bat Copter is extremely endearing. It’s a very toy-like toy. Bright colors and big shapes that show off the dynamic duo in a, …well, in a DYNAMIC fashion! There are two versions, one with cockpit shield and one without.…
Mobile Batlab
The Mobile Batlab has one of the most beautiful packages around. In an interview with Saul Harrison of DC Comics in the “Amazing World of DC Comics” Magazine, he mentions that DC Comics took it upon themselves to create the…
Batcave
The Batcave seems to be the one most of us had. I know I had a lot of fun with mine. This is the ad from Ward’s Christmas Catalog provided by Brian Heiler. The Batsignal was definitely the hot feature…
Batmobile
Clearly modeled on the TV series vehicle, the Mego WGSH Batmobile is one of the core Mego toys. Simple and sturdy, countless thousands of them rumbled across backyards, over linoleum floors, down flights of stairs and through puddles of mud.…
Batcycle
This is a great time to point out that certain boxes for Hero Vehicles look like a great half-gallon box of ice-cream from Thrifty’s. YUM! The Batcycle came in blue and black versions. Most people prefer the black, but I…
Aquaman vs Great White Shark
If you are a true child of the Seventies, it shouldn’t take you long to figure out what movie inspired this playset,three guesses. Check out our episode of Vintage Mego about this very set on Youtube: The shark itself…
Captain Americar
My personal favorite. Mego really listened to Marvel when they suggested product ideas and we’re better for it. Watch our video on the Mego Captain Americar. Cap’s shield jumps forward on the front, clobbering his enemies, that’s 7…
WGSH Playsets and Vehicles
Washable,vinyl-encased-cardboard fantasy fortresses, and colorful, gimmicky transports await within! One of the key successes of the WGSH right from the get go were the ambitious playsets and vehicles that accompanied the line. Starting in 1974, Mego reaped instant benefits from…
AJ Rescue Copter
The deluxe AJ Adventure toy, the Rescue Copter is most impressive. Remote controled, it rolls back and forth, the main rotor turns, lights flash. Hand operated winch and rescue litter. A great toy all around. Like most Mego vehicles, it’s…
AJ Amphicat
This blow molded vehicle created by Irwin Toys, who manufactured a few AJ items to compliment Mego’s line. Note the box back promotes Mego, emphasizing the relationship between the two companies. Related Images:

It’s as cool as you’ve dreamed it was. A little cramped, but very cool. Didn’t think there was a point in collecting S&H Figures? This bad boy will change your mind in a hurry and be one of the prizes on the…
OMBC: Tyrannosaurus
Boxed Tyrannosaurus courtesy of Brain (Palitoy). The mighty Tyrannosur has a lot of personality. Not as much as Dimetroden, of course. These accessories are fairly rare. Yes, you’ve speared a Tyrannosaurus, now what are you going to do,…
