  Mego Corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mego Corporation was founded in the early 1950s by David Abrams and was mostly known prior to 1971 as a producer of dime store toys.
Starting in 1971, Mego began purchasing license rights to a variety of successful motion pictures, television programs, and comic books, and started producing lines for such works as Action Jackson, Planet of the Apes, Star Trek, the Wizard of Oz, along with the rights to various superhero characters, which was their most successful line.
Mego also created the Kresge style card (named for the Kresge store chain, for whom they were originally produced), now commonly referred to as the "Mego Bubble Card." This style of card placed the clear plastic bubble containing the action figure in the middle of the card.
