There are so many individuals who like the way that small statues look within their home. These items are very special since they resemble human beings. A long time ago it was not unusual to find a great doll zone that really satisfied the needs of their customers. Every little boy around was very fascinated by a production place named Mego since they specialized in unique toys. Their figures were very top of the line in every way possible and people liked this very much.
In the early 70's Mego hit it really big when they started to sell figures which resembled famous comic book characters. They decided to contact DC comics publication in order to use the likenesses of certain characters on their toy models. This particular book industry gave them permission to utilize the characters of Superman, Batman, Robin and Shazam.
These were the very first figures to go on sell in various stores around the United States. Other countries had their own versions of these characters which looked a bit odd when they were compared to the American versions. These items did not go through the same licensing process as the ones made within the United States.
The Latin version of Superman has darker features and his costume is a bit different from the American version. At the time a person could also obtain the foreign one at a less expensive cost since production expenses were lower. Celebrities all around wanted to have their faces attached to one of these very unique statues that were very popular.
They focused on shows like "The Dukes Of Hazzard, " "The Walton's, " "Happy Days, " "Three's Company, " "Laverne and Shirley, " "Star Trek" and "Starsky and Hutch." All of these action statues looked very similar to their characters on television. Even though Mego did a great job with the faces of the male figures their female images were not that great.
They would recycle past female figure heads from bigger statues that were on the market. This was a great way to save money since it was more expensive to produce a new face. The smart individual will notice that Daisy Duke from the Hazzard collection looks nothing like the actress who played the part.
Any person with eyes could see that Mego made a huge mistake when they created the eight inch version of Wonder Woman. She had a baby face and did not come with any accessories. Batgirl, Supergirl, Cat Woman and Isis were all made from the same head mold. Each of these items looked silly to the serious collector.
This particular movie was an instant flop while "Star Wars" made millions of dollars at the box office. The "Star Wars" figures went on to be produced by Kenner. Famous celebrities also had their faces attached to some of these Mego twelve inch items. Cher insisted that they remake her features several times before she allowed this company to sell her statue. Since she was such a big star they agreed to her terms.
