Before Batman villains dominated movie screens and collectible shelves, Mego was bringing Gotham’s most notorious criminals to life in 8-inch action figure form. This 1979 Mego World’s Greatest Super Heroes Riddler remains MOC on its original 8-Back card, complete with the colorful packaging and classic cloth costume that made Mego figures so memorable. Nearly five decades later, these figures remain a wonderful reminder of superhero collecting before the modern action figure boom.
