Also from a business standpoint Mattel had previously released other popular characters in the Mego style. It’s really no wonder Matty Collector made their The Real Ghostbusters in what is known as the “Mego style.” Mego is mega popular with fans and collectors. Years later, before the mainstream internet and before I became a collector I hadn’t realized Kenner had also made mego style toys with then popular (and collectible today) figures from The Six Million Dollar Man for example. I once incorrectly assumed Mego made them as well. I was born towards the end of the “Mego” era and by the time I was playing with toys, generally figures were around 5 inches. While that is important on some level, that’s what a certain internet encyclopedia is for. When the video game industry almost imploded on itself in 1983 Mego Corporation had become something else. ![]() By the time The Wrath of Khan was filmed, Mego was chapter 11. The company over licensed everything and anything, including Star Trek: The Motion Picture. A move that may have been prompted when Mego rejected the license for the then upcoming 1977 “B movie” Star Wars. Interestedly enough they took on Mattel’s Barbie figures and tried to overtake Kenner’s Star War figures (yep, Star Wars) with their own 3” Micronauts figures. In later years they made figures for Superman. Along with movies such as The Wizard of Oz, and oh yeah Planet of the Apes. It licensed characters from both Marvel and D.C. Mego Corporation was a toy company which was mego (see what I did their?) popular during most of the 1970s. Mattel chose to create these The Real Ghostbusters collectibles in a style that pre-dates ‘80s figures by an entire decade, the 1970s. Nearly 25 years later Matty Collector, the adult collector brand under Mattel created and sold a line of figures based on the true classic. Plus Kenner introduced Janine in toy form for the first time. The best may be Fright Features because the figures could do more and “react” to the ghosts they were facing.
