Mego Pocket Superheroes Commercial

[jksonny]

I don't think Mego ever produced the Batcave.

I had these, but Spiderman's costume wasn't quite right and they were flimsy as hell--not nearly as good as today's action figures--which only middle-aged men can afford to buy.

@sickphil71 only middle aged people could ever afford to by them. my allowance in the 70's was a dollar a week.

[sickphil71]

@kitn64 Mine was seven bucks.  Between stuff like this and the numerous Enterprise models I bought and destroyed, my allowance was tapped pretty hard. I wish I had just saved the money; with compound interest, I'd have tens of thousands of dollars and could thus have afforded Starbucks for almost a week.

HaHa They never even produced "Spiderman Alley"! Whay add it to the Commercial?

[kissssik76]

I had this stuff. Memories!

[bobmanny11]

lol every time they mention the batcave or spiderally "sold seprtly assembly requierd" lol pushing the extra sale r we?

[WilliamLonghini]

I had all the figures and vehicles, but I didn't have the batcave or spideralley. I was born in '77 so these must have been my first action figures and must have stayed on the shelves for a few years because i still have batman,robin,batmobile, and spiderman and they all have 1978 on figures. I doubt I got them until '80 but anything is possible. Thanks for the great video.

[morvius666]

The kid with the blue shirt.

[sokkas7]

because its sticking up in the back is that it whel kids had wierd hair back then.

[cubbi1977]

I used to have those back in the early 80s.

[floopehobaloobie]

I had the Hulk. My bro had Spidey, It seems to me that they made him resemble a person wearing shades in pajamas.

[jackbox1971]

I remember the Mego Spider-Man. I remember wondering "why would Spidey need a car?" Also, note how Mego made zero effort to make Spidey's costume resemble the comic book version.
