The show was a ratings hit and Mego optioned the rights to merchandise the series. Originally, a sculpt of Joanna Cameron was created, for reasons unknown, Mego opted to reuse the <a href=\"wonderwoman.html\"> Wonder Woman <\/a> sculpt from the WGSH line. It&#8217;s fitting seeing as Isis eventually replaced Wonder Woman in the WGSH assortment (Mego chose to focus on her 12&#8243; line).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" title=\"Mego Isis prototype\" src=\"http:\/\/www.megomuseum.com\/wgsh\/images\/wardsis.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"97\" height=\"233\" align=\"left\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Isis began as a 1976 exclusive to Montgomery Wards stores, she was pictured in the catalog as an incomplete prototype. To help make her more recognizable, Mego placed a gigantic name plate on the figure. Nameplated versions of the figure were not released. Isis later joined the WGSH regular assortments and was available until <a href=\"http:\/\/www.megomuseum.com\/catalog&lt;br \/&gt; \/1979\/hero_001.shtml\">1979<\/a> when both she and her show were cancelled. There are versions of the 1979 Mego Catalog that black out Isis with a large &#8220;Cancelled&#8221; stamp.
