Flash Gordon Inspiration: Action Figures 1978

Catalogue page from 1978 depicting Flash Gordon action figures and playset manufactured by Mego.

In 1978, Mego released a set of four 10-inch action figures and a playset based on the Flash Gordon comic strips. The action figures included Flash Gordon, Dale Arden, Dr. Zarkov, and Ming the Merciless. I was unaware of them until this moment (the date being 28 November 2022 as I write this), so I am including this link to a short video on the subject produced by Mego Museum. More images are available here.
