I think that Mego’s, 2.75 inch(?), Eagle Force [tm] action figures. were used in the [1983?] music video, named- “It’s a Mistake”.

“It’s a mistake” is a song, + a music video, by the Australian, rock band, “Men At Work”.

Here is wikipedia’s page on the (song and music video),

and here’s the music video on youtube:

Please enjoy.

(By the way- the song is an 1980s era: anti-war song, and an anti-nuclear-war song, if you’re interested in the meanings of the song.)

I’ve seen the “Apes’ tree house” ad before.
I remember being really spooked by the Apes capturing the astronaut, + things like that.

I think it would be fun if- the Mego’s superheroes had a summer party at the Ape’s tree house. 😀

Hi Brian,
Please pardon me for asking an off-topic question but:

Have you seen any 9 inches tall, Big Jim-like action figures, that are currently being made, or from the past?

I really like the Big Jim figures, but I’d rather not pay $40 (USD) on ebay for each Big Jim. I’d rather buy something else, meaning something less expensive.
Have you seen anything that is similar?

I’d really appreciate any information that you could tell me about similar, 9 inch figures.

Thank You, TRA
