1974: Mego had it’s first sweeping success with the <\/span>Worlds Greatest Superheroes<\/a> line of action figures but what to do with the next toy buying season? Expand!<\/span><\/p>\n

Mego took the bull by the horns and created not only new product for the WGSH line but created three new Superhero toy lines as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The three new series included the lukewarm Super Savers Banks <\/a>, the popular Bend N Flex<\/a> series and the Super Softies. Softies “were a bomb” according to the late Neal Kublan<\/a> Mego VP of R&D, who added that Mego didn’t ship many.<\/p>\n

In today’s market The Super Softies make perfect sense, stuffed talking Superheroes are a commonplace item in todays toy store but for some reason Mego wasn’t able to crack into the plush aisle. As a collector item, The Super Softies are a joy to own, especially packaged (which is difficult) due them being king sized versions of the 8″ WGSH window boxes.<\/p>\n
