First Look: Mego Lex Luthor in Wave 19: World’s Greatest Superheroes

Mego Lex Luthor in wave 19 Worlds Greatest Superheroes

Mego Lex Luthor in wave 19 Worlds Greatest Superheroes

Although he has no superpowers to speak of, Luthor has come closer to defeating Superman more times than any of his other adversaries. With his brilliant mind, Luthor’s schemes nearly always come close, until his massive ego gets in his way. No matter the situation, it’s Luthor’s hubris that’s always his downfall.Lex Luthor is the greatest criminal mind of our time.  The primary arch-enemy of Superman, Lex uses his intelligence to create machines to destroy the Man of Steel.  

Mego Corp. adds the Lex Luthor to our 50th Anniversary World’s Greatest Superfoes line with a great new sculpt by Andrew Covalt and with costuming by Dave McCormick.

First Look! Mego Hawkman!

First Look: Mego Hawkman from World’s Greatest Superheroes Wave 19
Scientific genius Carter Hall from another world flies into action as Hawkman, the winged avenger. Using his arsenal of amazing weapons, he battles both earthly and interplanetary foes.
First appearing in 1940 in Flash Comics #1, Hawkman was a founding member of the Justice Society. When the DC superhero universe was reintroduced in the 1960s, Hawkman’s origin became an alien lawman named Katar Hol, and he soon joined the Justice League of America. Hawkman can always be relied on in the fight for good versus evil!
Mego Corp. continues to expand their 50th Anniversary World’s Greatest Superheroes collection with this classic hero. Sculpted by Andrew Covalt.

Mego Museum Trading Cards Return at Mego Meet 2023

Mego Museum Trading Cards Return at Mego Meet 2023

Good News, Everybody! The long-awaited series 2 of the Mego Museum Action Jackson cards are seeing print and distribution at Mego Meet 2023. Many Museum members donated to sponsor these cards but they had fallen by the wayside.

I’m happy to say that Robyn Adams (designer of all the Museum trading cards) delivered these just in time. I (Toy-Ventures) was more than happy to pick up the extra cost of producing them on the fly.

Thanks to our donors and to Jason at White Elephant Toyz for officially allowing us to use AJ.

The initial sets will be given away free at Mego Meet 2023 as part of Power-Con. Portions will also be distributed to Museum members via volunteer distributors. Stay Tuned.


Mego Meet is part of Power-Con 2023 with panels, freebies, kid’s custom contests and a whole lot more. Ticket information can be found here:

Lasermego brings back the Fantasticar for Mego Meet

Four years ago, Laser Mego made a small amount of these working (and let’s face it, amazing) Fantasticars for the annual Mego Meet Convention. They sold out in an hour and were never heard from again.

Until now, where we get news that they’ve added this new version to the 2015 Aw Yeah Mego Meet Customs Auction (which we’ll spotlight all this week).

Does this mean more will be made available at the show? We have no idea if there will be, one thing is certain though, if you want one, you should be at Aw Yeah Mego Meet 2015 next Saturday.
