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.

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.
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.

Mego Star Trek
I recently stumbled across this fantastic issue of Japanese Starlog, which was a lot like the US version, except its graphic design was way more exciting. This particular issue has a feature on all the imported Superhero toys from the US you can buy. So the best way to describe it is like a Heroes World catalogue but from the future.

This page makes me weak in the knees and it’s not just the gem-mint carded Mego Riddler on display. Those Mego Comic Action Heroes’ deluxe sets with the Batmobile and Spider-Car are big favourites of mine. I also don’t have that AHI parachuting Superman.

Mego Museum Mint Off Card has returned TO THE PLANET OF THE APES! This week we look at the Soldier, the latest Mego takes on a classic apes figure. It’s a new take on an old favourite but haven’t we seen that head before? We also talk about variations in the line. Let’s go to the forbidden zone together!
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.

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.

and how it’s one of the hardest action figure lines to collect!
Another Wave 8 review, this time it’s from Mego Star Trek the Next generation. Also, we’re giving a carded figure of your choice away, details in the video itself!

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.
