As you can see, the Mego Corp's Mummy figure was part of a "Mad Monsters" line. They were "stuck" with that name after AHI produced their "World's Greatest Super-Monsters" line, which superficially resembled the Mego packaging style. Or maybe Mego's came first, and AHI jumped on the bandwagon. I'm not entirely sure!
These figures came in glowing and non-glowing versions. As you can see, the Mummy's outfit is silkscreened, although with a few details actually sewn on, if you look closely!
I cannot beleive I missed these monster toys in the '70s. I had everything BUT them!
ReplyDeleteIf it makes you feel better, I never had these in the 1970s, either!
