Next Mego Wave Revealed for 2023

Posted on July 24, 2023 by megohead1

A new order form has surfaced, and while these things are always subject to change (and have changed), this is a pretty interesting look at where Mego intends to go.

The World’s Greatest Superheroes lead the charge with a wave that doesn’t include a single original mego WGSH reproduction. It’s somebody’s wishlist of DC characters we never got.

Mego Action Figure 8″ 50th Anniversary World’s Greatest Superheroes – Red Tornado
Mego Action Figure 8″ 50th Anniversary World’s Greatest Superheroes – Firestorm
Mego Action Figure 8″ 50th Anniversary World’s Greatest Superheroes – Deadman

Mego Action Figure 8″ 50th Anniversary World’s Greatest Superheroes – Nightwing
Mego Action Figure 8″ 50th Anniversary World’s Greatest Superheroes – Two Face
Mego Action Figure 8″ 50th Anniversary World’s Greatest Superheroes – Bizarro Superman
Mego Action Figure 8″ 50th Anniversary World’s Greatest Superheroes – Brainiac

In the Entertainment side, we have some returning licenses like Willy Wonka (yay!), classic Star Trek and Creepshow with the previously announced Creep figure. Many surprises with the new licenses, including House of Dragons, Ted Lasso, Krampus and National Lampoon’s Vacation.

ENTERTAINMENT: SCIFI / HORROR / MOVIES

Vintage Mego Hall of Justice Playset

Posted on July 11, 2021 by megohead1

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.
