Batman by Mego in the Fist Fighting Super Heroes series

I recently returned home to Rome from my summer holidays in the UK visiting friends and family. I managed to pick up a few action figure bargains in flea markets, but also made some exciting discoveries in my parent's loft! As a kid back in the 1970s my younger sister had some pretty cool action figures. I vaguely remembered her having owned a Batman and Robin and a Planet of the Apes figure, so had been itching to send Dad up into the attic for some time to check if they were produced by the mighty Mego! It took some digging around to find them – thanks Dad! - but eventually a biscuit tin was found which proved to be a treasure trove of Mego figures in fantastic condition. Clearly, my sister played with her toys very carefully! I'll share all of the finds over the next few weeks, but to kick things off here's Batman, one of the Mego Fist Fighting Super Heroes.

Smiling Lando Calrissian

When today’s toy manufacturers launch a new action figure with myriad variations it’s hard not to smile ruefully and picture the board meeting in which that decision was made and to hear the Kerching! of the cash register ringing in one’s head as collectors scramble to add every version to their set. It’s fun, therefore, [...]

Luckily, these film characters have been revisited by toy manufacturers time and time again over the years and there are plenty of them out there for collectors to get their [...]

Kenner Super Powers - Robin action figure

This 4-inch figure was a superb version of The [...]
