The World’s Greatest Super-Heroes 50th Anniversary Red Tornado Box Artwork

With the power of cyclone force winds Mego is bringing fan favorite, Red Tornado, to the 50th Anniversary World’s Greatest Super-Hero collection! The Red Tornado was created by supervillain Dr. Morrow to defeat the Justice League. Red Tornado “contemplated the nature of good and evil and decided that good was the superior force”. He then used his high-speed wind velocity superpowers to help the league defeat his creator!

Red Tornado will come in a retro styled window box featuring classic artwork. He definitely captures the iconic look of the original World’s Greatest Super-Hero Mego action figures. Red Tornado will be part of Mego Wave 18 wave and is expected to be available 4th Qtr. of this year!

Collect them all!

Vintage Mego Fist Fighting Superheroes

Introduced in 1975 by Mego as an attempt to get that “Rock ’em Sock ’em Robots” money, the Fist Fighting Superheroes by Mego were a worldwide phenomenon that created many variations in the United Kingdom and in Mexico.

Special thanks to Eddie Berst, Jesus Magana and the Toltoys kid for their awesome generosity and kindness in creating this episode.
