MEGO QUESTION AND ANSWER!

QUESTION:

NAME: Neil

Hello. have you ever seen the catwoman mego boxed, and do you
know what theyre worth? also Mr. Mxyzptlk.


ANSWER:



As you can see from the pics that I've provided, Catwoman was packaged in a
variety of ways both on card and in box. All three packaging variations were released in the United States with the larger sized card being exclusive to the Kresge Corporation. A boxed Catwoman will typically cost anywhere



between $125.00-$200.00 depending on condition. A high grade cherry specimen could cost up to $500.00 as the exceptionally high grade items are highly
sought after by collectors. A Kresge carded Catwoman typically sells for



around $600.00 depending on condition.
Mxyzptlk also has a number of box variations as well as head sculpt
variations. The box in the middle contains the " smirking Mxyzptlk " which
was first to be released. When parents complained that the face was too
scary the Mego Corporation quickly pulled the plug and came up with the more
non threatening version on the left. The box on the far right is yet another
packaging variation which was released by Lili Ledy, the Mego Corps
distributor in Mexico. This type of box can be found for a very affordable
$100.00 price tag with a little patience. Mxyzptlk is one of the more common



characters in the Worlds Greatest Superhero line with boxed specimens
realizing around $150.00 on the secondary market. The smirking version will
cost more due to the fact that not as many were produced. I hope this helps!
Thanks for reading and remember, Mego Lives!!
