8-Inch Scale Spider-Man Action Figure from Mego

Mego and Marvel Comics present this fully articulated web-swinging Spider-Man action figure with authentic cloth uniform.

Mego always kept their figures desireable by making sure to include lots of great artwork on the packaging.

Mego first released their 8" Spider-Man action figure along with Captain America in 1973 as part of their World's Greatest Super-Heroes line. These two figures represented the first two Marvel Comics releases from Mego.

Like Superman, Spider-Man's style has not changed much over the years. In 1973, Spider-Man was the up-and-coming hero relative to mainstays like Batman and Superman.

 

 

A simplified Spider-Man Costume as he appeared in 1960s animation.

Spider-Man's costume design has always created unique challenges in various mediums due to the amount of detail it involves. The original 1960s cartoon chose to eliminate a lot of the web lines in order to simplify the animation.

 

Head sculpt of the 8-Inch Mego Spider-Man

Mego took a lead from the 1960s animation and simplified the Spider-Man head sculpt. Instead of printing the lines of the webbing on Spider-Man's mask, Mego opted to simply have them impressed directly into the sculpt.
