There are so many individuals who like the way that small statues look within their home. These items are very special since they resemble human beings. A long time ago it was not unusual to find a great doll zone that really satisfied the needs of their customers. Every little boy around was very fascinated by a production place named Mego since they specialized in unique toys. Their figures were very top of the line in every way possible and people liked this very much.
In the early 70's Mego hit it really big when they started to sell figures which resembled famous comic book characters. They decided to contact DC comics publication in order to use the likenesses of certain characters on their toy models. This particular book industry gave them permission to utilize the characters of Superman, Batman, Robin and Shazam.
The statues were eight inches tall and they looked very extraordinary to the average consumer. People living within America were very proud of this particular product that only cost a few dollars. On today's market a person can spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on each of these models. There are many foreign figures which are similar to these models that went through different production channels.
Sometimes the Spanish Superman figure looked a little bit strange when he was placed side by side with his United States counterpart. The foreign statues were also cheaper than the ones that were sold to American citizens. During the years this business produced other characters that were featured on many of the television series in America.
It did not take long for people to see figures of "The Walton's, " "The Dukes Of Hazzard, " "Happy Days, " "Laverne and Shirley, " "Starsky and Hutch" and "Star Trek" on the shelves at toy stores. The figures that were designed after male characters looked spectacular. Mego had a harder time getting the faces of female characters correct.
Many of these products were purchased by boys and they did not want to take home a female statue. Retailers would quickly discount the girl characters whenever they arrived at their store. Unfortunately Catherine Bach does not resemble her Daisy Duke statue at all. Everyone at Mego knew that the Daisy head was not an original.
People also noticed that Batgirl, Supergirl, Isis, Cat Woman and Wonder Woman shared the same face. These particular statues had the features of a ten year old girl. None of them had any facial qualities of a grown up woman. The twelve inch Wonder Woman statue was more realistic looking to many consumers since she resembled Lynda Carter. Next up this industry would take on the movie "The Black Hole" which was a huge mistake.
This particular movie was an instant flop while "Star Wars" made millions of dollars at the box office. The "Star Wars" figures went on to be produced by Kenner. Famous celebrities also had their faces attached to some of these Mego twelve inch items. Cher insisted that they remake her features several times before she allowed this company to sell her statue. Since she was such a big star they agreed to her terms.
