We&#8217;ve had them all along, but just never got around to it. The supervator is a playset that&#8217;s really kind of an action game. The figure wears a harness that as attached to a string with a kite handle on the end. By maneuvering the string up and down you fly the figure toward the Supervator. The object is to grab the &#8220;Secret Nasty Plans&#8221; with a blue oven mitt glove that has a tiny square of velcro glued to it. When you hit the Supervator, a picture of a villain pops up and the harness swivels around for the return trip. That&#8217;s the best I can explain it. I have no idea how well it works. Perhaps at the next Mego Meet there will be a Supervator Contest of Skill. A life-sized version would also be fun and a tremendous liability.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.megomuseum.com\/wgsh\/playsets\/images\/supervatorinst2.jpg\"
