This has been a hell of a week, first Mego returns to retailers after 35 years and now the insiders at the MegoMuseum announce this?

Figures Toy Company puts Monkee on my back

Posted on January 8, 2016 by megohead1

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.

Emerald City offers Robin Exclusive

Posted on December 14, 2015 by megohead1

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.

Mego Museum gets the scoop on the New Teen Titans

Posted on November 23, 2015 by megohead1

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.
