Nice story. Love the Hulk inflatable pillow. You don’t see that much. Here’s a toy story that you might enjoy.

Daniel,

I have to point this out being a mego head, both the Joker van (Called the Jokermobile) and the Mobil Bat lab, were indeed produced by Mego. There were vans for Spider-Man and Hulk that were produced by a company called Empire and not mego, by they were larger than these 2 vehicles. Here’s a link to the Mego musuem showing the packaging of the Jokermobile with the Mego logo present on the box.

I really enjoyed those pics, Daniel. You can tell from that sparkle in your young eye that this was gonna be a life long love affair with geek culture! Can’t wait for part II.

I went through at least three Mego Batman figures when I was a kid. Every time we traveled from Spain to visit my grandparents, I would have a new one waiting courtesy of my aunt. Great times, but possibly the most fragile toys that I ever owned.

Ben Cooper Halloween costumes were the best. They were just as flimsy, but every kid of my generation had at least one. Just like Underoos.
