\"Mego<\/p>\n

I had a little fun with this page from a catalogue for a chain called “Johnny’s Toys.<\/a>” I love that it’s clearly 1976, and they’re still advertising a Mego Removable Cowl Batman<\/a>. I don’t believe that would be what you got at that time. It’s also an epic assortment; the only thing missing is Crazy Foam. As a kid, I had the Remco Batman<\/a> Utility belt, the Mego figures, Batcycle and Batmobile. I drooled over the Janex Batman and Robin Talking Alarm Clock<\/a> and only ever saw the Hall of Justice in a Heroes World ad.<\/strong><\/p>\n
