MEGO POCKET HERO’S


I was digging in one of my many boxes of Batman items and found these and I thought I would share them with you. They are Mego Batman and Robin pocket figures from the late 1970’s; these particular ones were made in 1979. As you they are a little worn or “played with condition”, but not too bad considering they are thirty years old. They are some what rare, even in this condition they can go for upwards of forty dollars on EBay. Still in they package they are really rare and they can fetch ten times that.
It is hard to say if they are complete, some times these figures were packaged with a moulded rope coil and batarang and some times they were packaged with out them and as far as I can see there was no particular reason for this other than sometimes they did and sometimes they did not. I have to say I really like the older stuff from a nostalgic angel many of these items I had when I was young. Don’t get me wrong the quality of most of the newer stuff is way better really there is no comparison in that sense. But with the items from the 60’s and 70’s and even 80’s I almost feel like I am preserving my own little part of Batman history, the toy part anyway.
