In the “Epic News” department, former PAC Toys President Joe Ruzzi has shared his Mego Commercial reels with the Mego Museum. This allows us to see spots for the first time as they were intended and not from 17th generation VHS copy.
The first two releases are out there and wow, the sound and colors are so crisp and nice.
The Museum promises to add a new commercial every week in their Mego Museum newsletter.
It’s terrible on purpose!
These commercials surfaced in Toronto on CITY-TV after the big Mego warehouse find at Parkdale Novelty. I was lucky enough to visit the store on a number of occasions and get to know the lovely people that ran it.

This was inspired piece from the team that brought the Universal Monsters homage film “House of the Wolfman” which is now available on DVD. The character designs were absolutely inspired, so i would have welcomed these monsters into my dungeon anytime….
Sorry, this kind of sucks. A better copy of the commercial can be found on the “Face of Evil” DVD.
The Mego Museum has the best gallery of these toys, visit it often!
