Mego Museum broke the news today that three sets of 8 inch and one set of 12 inch action figures of the Monkees are now up for grabs.
I was planning on passing but GAAAAHHHH they look fantastic and well, this was my favourite after school show in 1976 (prime mego buying years) so the little kid inside of me wants these and he won’t shut up about it.

From Issue 18, February1999 (still credited to the ToyFare Staff) we have “The Big Race” this series was never better when the lampooned both DC and Marvel.

Mego Museum gets the exclusive on this new ECC exclusive. Everybody and their brother saw this yellow variant coming but making it a limited edition seems like a great idea as it’s super niche.
This Kresge version will be limited to 700 units and available in January. Which makes me wonder, what else is arriving in January.

I can’t decided which is more epic, the endcap of Fisher Price Sesame Street playsets or the end cap of Mego Star Trek Bridge Playsets. In the end, everybody wins….

The Adventurer was a blow molded (ie cheap) doll and outfit set that shared a lot of parts with Mego’s Action Jackson (many of the outfits are identical and bear the Mego trademark) and then some of the outfits got really whacky, making us wonder what was meant by “adventure”. More after the jump:
This week the spotlight falls on lilbrosj66’s Aunt May. It’s almost impossible to find a use for the Grandma Walton head, let alone such a perfect fit for a beloved character.

Another from the Mego Like Archive: Heroes of Desert Storm were yet another rebranding of the Mego Lion Rock World War 2 figures that were sold in the late 70s.
They really got a ton of mileage out of these molds….

Achmed was the Phantom’s nemesis (he doesn’t exactly have a Batman’s rogue gallery does he?)

From Issue 25, September 1999 (still credited to the ToyFare Staff) we have “Megoville Squares” when they could still riff on the DC characters a little. I guess this mail away Lady Death offer has probably expired?

The sales this season at EE have made me a little tired but that doesn’t change the fact that they’re giving some great deals on Bif Bang Pow figures from Twilight Zone, Dexter, Penny Dreadful and the Six Million Dollar man right now. A totally different assortment from the previous two sales.
From issue #5 (January 1998) “Scream” is written by Toyfare staff (no credits yet). I’m going to add one of these a week for the rest of the year, so be sure to book mark us. To see previous posts, click the “Twisted Mego Theatre” tag at the bottom of this post. More after the Jump….
Been late to the game but the Mego Museum has the scoop on the New Teen Titans Cyborg and Nightwing. While the praise is pretty unanimous for Cyborg, fans are mixed on the open mouth look of Nightwing. Put me in the “Like” camp on that one but to each their own.

I know a lot of collectors grumbled about the price initially, so this is a nice break if you’re still into “collecting them all!”
Canada’s Mego Gathering is this Sunday in Burlington Ontario Canada. I don’t need to tell you how normal you’ll feel meeting with your herd, very cathartic.
Plus free trading cards and it is a vintage toy show too.
