The World’s Greatest Super-Heroes 50th Anniversary Red Tornado Box Artwork

With the power of cyclone force winds Mego is bringing fan favorite, Red Tornado, to the 50th Anniversary World’s Greatest Super-Hero collection! The Red Tornado was created by supervillain Dr. Morrow to defeat the Justice League. Red Tornado “contemplated the nature of good and evil and decided that good was the superior force”. He then used his high-speed wind velocity superpowers to help the league defeat his creator!

Red Tornado will come in a retro styled window box featuring classic artwork. He definitely captures the iconic look of the original World’s Greatest Super-Hero Mego action figures. Red Tornado will be part of Mego Wave 18 wave and is expected to be available 4th Qtr. of this year!

Collect them all!

Vintage Mego: CB McHaul

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. MegoMuseum Forums http://megomuseum.com/community/activity.php Join our FB Forum MegoMania https://www.facebook.com/groups/megomania/

and how it’s one of the hardest action figure lines to collect!

Vintage Mego: The Waltons

 

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.
