Steven Ross generously shared with us this awesome letter from Mego VP Bill Baron (whom we interviewed in 2006). Steven explains “When I was a teenager (with a lot of time on my hands, apparently), I sent the Mego Corp. a multi-page letter (on notebook paper!), that explained why Marvel’s Micronauts (comics) would make an…

It doesn’t look like much but this inauspicious looking room is actually Fort Knox for Mego collectors. You’re looking at Lion Rock’s store room in Hong Kong where all the tooling dies were kept. This is where Batman, Baron Karza and Dinah-Mite came from. Just a shiny bit of Mego love for a cold…

Mego Museum Labour Day Vintage Commercial Marathon

by palitoy • August 31, 2013

Long weekends and marathons go together, so we’re going through the archives and giving you some vintage Mego toy commercials and Toy Fair reels. Kicking it off with this one from 1979, the Mego Star Trek Enterprise Bridge and Vulcan Shuttle reel.

This is likely a toy fair reel and not something that saw air time. Sadly the Vulcan Shuttle was not produced, rumours abound but no physical samples have ever surfaced.

Also, what’s with the kid saying “and Officer Ilia” in such a suggestive way?
