Same here! I had so much fun with these when I was a kid! But I never noticed the goofs in the commercial. Human Torch is faster than light? Mr. Fantastic can turn invisible? LOL! Thanks for finding this, man. I wish I still had mine!

It was the one where the head was the Bruce Wayne/Superman model (without the curl) and the cowl was removable. After it broke and I got another, it was the one with the permanent cowl.

I actually kind of wish I grew up with those Mego action figures! For once, you had the Marvel and DC heroes together, in a line that doesn't get all wonky with measurements. However, I do admit two things in particular made me a-chuckle from that ad: 1. Wow... Way to call attention to the Falcon being BLACK! Lord only knows what sort of treatment a Black Panther figure would've got. 2. Nice granite-colored suit the Thing is wearing. He must be going out on the town.

Mego had so much cool toys back in the day! I miss them Me too. I had the full Star Trek toy line (including the Enterprise bridge playset) as well as the Batcave and more. I spent hours with those toys. This time last year a vendor came to our mall who had tons of flea market toys, magazines, etc. I bagged some old issues of Creepy magazine. But the thing I wanted was the set of Mego toys. But they were too expensive.

He must be going out on the town. How about Human Torch moving faster than light, and Mr. Fantastic turning invisible? I had, at one point, taken a GI Joe, cut the beard off of it and then painted it green. I wanted Hulk to be HUGE and that was what worked for me.

But I guess he can't go faster than himself. Heh! And hey, maybe Reed Richards was holding Sue's hand, and she's able to pass on her invisibility! I bet that's what Stan Lee would've said!

WTF did he get the oxygen to combust in a vacuum?
