MOTD: Spider-Man Super Saver
Not enough attention is paid to these wonderful piggy banks by Mego, Spidey is the only Marvel character in the grouping which is diproportioned with four DC heroes and villains, poor Captain America......

Mego of the Day: Pocket General Zod
It's impossible to kneel towards a guy if you don't have articulation there. General Zod wasn't a high point for the pocket heroes but hey, a new character is a new character.....

Mego of the Day is Super Clown, one of many "Clown Arounds" that Mego released in the early eighties. Mine could be in better condition.

Mego of the Day: Humanoid
Mego of the Day is the incredibly elusive, foreign exclusive figure from the 1980 Walt Disney film "The Black Hole". A background group of characters, the humanoid is of particular interest to collectors due to figure only being sold in Canada and Italy.

America's Favorite T.V and Comic Hero
This page is from the 1977 for "Johnny's Toys" a KY/OH based chain of toystores and features a tribute to the Batman (and some marvel characters snuck in there for good measure), interesting that they're still using RC Batman years after he was discontinued, must have confused a pile of kids.

Upcoming WGSH Spotlight: Lex Luthor
Courtesy of World's Greatest Toys author Benjamin Holcomb is the Lex Luthor prototype, our first of the new figures from this Mattel/EMCE collaberation.
With all due respect to fans of Mr. Mxyzptlk, this figure is helping to erase one of the original WGSH lines biggest errors, the addition of Superman's true arch enemy, the leader of the Legion of Doom himself, Lex Luthor.
Again, we have a look that 70s kids will immediately identify as being from Challenge of the Superfriends, Bravo EMCE and Mattel!

Upcoming WGSH Spotlight: Superman
Now that the dust has settled from the SDCC, we thought it might be fun to take a look individually of wave one of Mattel's World's Greatest Superheroes line (which is, still trippy to say) and hey, it'll pass the time until Spring right? So, courtesy of World's Greatest Toys author Benjamin Holcomb is the Superman prototype, a very fitting choice for wave one as he is part of the "original four".
Eventhough his look has been altered, there is something very familiar about Supes, you can almost hear Danny Dark's voice coming out of this figure, Bravo EMCE and Mattel!
