Next Mego Wave Revealed for 2023

Posted on by

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 – Deadman
Mego Action Figure 8″ 50th Anniversary World’s Greatest Superheroes – Dr. Fate
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
Conjuring Universe – Annabelle Comes Home
Alice Cooper- Welcome 2 my Nightmare

Vintage Mego Hall of Justice Playset

Posted on by

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.

Introduced in 1975 by Mego as an attempt to get that “Rock ’em Sock ’em Robots” money, the Fist Fighting Superheroes by Mego were a worldwide phenomenon that created many variations in the United Kingdom and in Mexico.

This episode of Vintage Mego talks about the US versions of the Fist Fighters but also takes a look at the efforts of Toltoys, Palitoy Bradgate and Lili ledy.

Special thanks to Eddie Berst, Jesus Magana and the Toltoys kid for their awesome generosity and kindness in creating this episode.
