Mego Mr Fantastic

 

 


Mego Cards

Here is Mr Fantastic on his US 1975 marked Card (the left) and on his Pin Pin (France) 1979 card (the right). Mego had an overstock of inventory meant for France that was eventually dumped into the US market, most often mistaken for Canadian issue (they're not!) These shots were courtesy of Dan (Dumbldor). The 1979 US card at the bottom is tough to find in any shape.

Sue Storm on her 1975 US card, 1979 US and finally her 1979 Pin Pin card. It is very difficult to find Sue on any card other than a Pin Pin. The greatest Appeal of getting a 1975 card is that she doesn't have a grey face. Pics courtesy of Dan (Dumbldor)

Mego Thing on his 1975 US card, 1979 US and finally a 1979 Pin Pin card where he is "La Chose". Pics courtesy of Dan (Dumbldor)

Mego Human Torch on his 1975 US card and 1979 Pin Pin card where he is La Torche Humane. Pics courtesy of Dan (Dumbldor)

 

This Dandy Palitoy Mego UK Torch is a real toughy to find, courtesy of Raoulduke.

 

In Italy, Harbert just placed an Italian language sticker over the US Mego cards and boxes until they eventually produced their own line of cards. Below is a nice set of those stickers on their own, cards and stickers are courtesy of Dan.

I think "La Torcia" and "La Cosa" sound really cool.
