MegoMuseum talks about one of Mego’s most successful if not, the most successful playset ever produced the Mego Star Trek USS Enterprise Action Playset.
This wonderful cardboard and vinyl set is probably also one of Mego’s most famous creations and sold almost half a million units.

intage Mego this week looks at the Hall of Justice Playset for the Mego World’s Greatest Superheroes Toy Line. This deluxe Mego playset came out in 1976 when the Superheroes were the hottest action figure lines going.
The Hall of Justice was not in the comics at the time, just the Super Friends animated show. We look at the Legion of Superheroes prototype, the Green Lantern appearance, discuss its translocator feature, and talk about that other Hall of Justice Playset Mego made that year.

Mr. Spock is the first of three 14″ Star Trek figures from Mego corp. This figure was announced in 2019 but was unfortunately canceled due to factory closure. The original prototype shown at Toyfair used the heads from the classic Mego Star Trek the Motion picture 12″ Spock but Mego has decided to blow up the classic 8″ Spock head for this line. Hey, why fix what isn’t broken?
Sculptor: Box says Sean Sansom but that head sculpt is Gene Salmacha Outfit: Rachel Baker Series: Star Trek Wave: 13 Available: July 2021 Accessories: Spare Hands, Belt, Phaser, Communicator

Time to take a look at another figure from Mego’s Wave 8 but this time it’s not a monster, spaceman, or Superhero, it’s Stan Lee! Despite being an ordinary mortal, we explore all the fun things you can do with this figure.
10-4 Good Buddy! Vintage Mego discusses the CB McHaul toy line from 1977, a series of action figures not based on Superheroes or Science Fiction but on Burt Reynolds movies and your dad’s hobby. It even taught you a secret language known as trucker talk! We talk about the 70s CB radio craze, the line’s origins and how it’s one of the rarest Mego action figure lines to collect! This video is free of obvious, “low hanging fruit” jokes about self-pollution.

Vintage Mego takes a look at the classic Mego Star Trek playset “Mission to Gamma VI” an alien world environment loosely based on a classic epsiode of the television series.
We also talk about why the Mego Star Trek line abruptly ended in 1977 even though it was still quite popular.
This week Vintage Mego takes a look at Terraphant, the terrifying Mammoth from the remote world of Visceros!
Half elephant, half tank we talk about this vehicle’s development including prototype shots and the fun things that were left out of the final product.
Special Thanks to Ray “AcroRay” Miller for the amazing photos and information on this one.
Yeah, I’m doing the Waltons episode, even though I don’t collect the toyline or enjoy the show itself, let’s defend Mego’s decision to make a Waltons toy line in 1975. PS the Sunshine Family legit scared me as a kid.
