My first "action figures" I can distinctly remember :

1974-ish!!!: Evel Knievel figure with a motorcycle!
from there in the mid '70s I had
Stretch Armstrong!
Shogun Warriors: Raydeen
Mazinger Z
Micronauts : Time Traveler and Ackroyear and Biotron were my first of those.

1977 Star Wars: First were Luke and Darth Vader with the light sabers in the arms and vinyl cape.

First transformers: G1 (pre rub) Soundwave and Buzzsaw, followed by Megatron

I remember some larger "doll like" Superman and Spiderman figures (off topic, any one remember that giant oversized Superman Vs. Spiderman comic!)

From there it was all down hill(uphill?) Lovin' every minute of it too!

HA! My first ever action figure was a GI Joe avec Kung Fu Grip. Then I had Big Jim with his dojo and camper-van.

But the ones I loved the most I got when I was 4... Mego's Aquaman and Green Arrow... followed by Batman, Robin, Superman, the Fantastic Four and, eventually, all the rest.

Yeah, I graduated to Star Wars, Star Trek - The Motion Picture, Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, etc., but the Mego figures were always me favorites. I still have them, too. Of course, I played them practically to pieces (Spider-Man still looks decent).

ML caught my interest, but the price and size kept me away. MU is nice and small. I love the fact that MU makes figures I dreamed about Mego making when I was a kid. I mean, I used some of my 12" figures as Galactus and MU actually made a Galactus!

My first MUs were the Iron Man/Blue Goliath Giant Battles pack, Daredevil, Union Jack, and Silver Surfer.
