Mego is perhaps best known for their 1970s 8" action figures of superheroes, Planet of the Apes, Star Trek... and the Mad Monsters, boxes seen above!
Oddly, rather than getting the rights to the classic Universal monsters, they decided to do their own versions (while trying to at least make you think of the Universal versions).
Other monsters always seemed to fare better as action figures than The Mummy did. I think it was the fact his wrappings never looked tattered (or tight) enough, and the fact they dyed in the "rot" with brown stripes.
