Brian (AKA "Brain") grew up in a suburb of Toronto, Canada. In the 70's, Brian's father specialized in toy closeouts. Visits to Mego Canada were common, as were afternoons pouring through toy industry magazines.

The Mego bug hit Brian at age 15 when he received a Space:1999 Captain Zantor figure from the UK. It set him off to discover what other Mego products were available worldwide.

A longtime contributor to the Museum, Scott gave the "keys" to the museum to Brian in 2000, and it's been a crash course in html ever since. Brian still resides outside of Toronto and is now the product developer for a toy company, acquiring many of the same licenses as the toys he collects. Brian is happily married with two great kids, a mortgage and a shrinking amount of space for his toys. Plaidstallions.com

Scott grew up in Southern New Mexico and got his first Mego Super Heroes at Montgomery Wards with his grandfather. After giving them away when he hit puberty, he bought a few Megos in the early 90s. When he first got online in 1996 he found there were no Mego websites so he started one with the few figures he had as a way to learn how to build web pages. The Mego Museum came online November 4, 1996 and soon attracted a group of online Mego collectors. The exchange of knowledge (and toys) soon caused the Museum to grow from a small home page to a large unruly archive on Toymania.com. In 2000 Scott left the Museum to pursue other interests and handed the reigns to Brian Heiler who guided the Museum to even greater heights. Finally in fall 2005 Scott was inspired to finally take on the challenge of completely redesigning what had become an enormous and ungainly website, with an all-new graphic design scheme and new trading card illustrations in the galleries. Scott is an animation artist living in Oakland, CA with his fiance, two cats, and a respectable Mego collection. www.scottcadams.com

Joe was born and raised in Carthage, Illinois, and currently resides in Northwest Arkansas with his wife Andrea, their son Fletcher, and three cats. He's a contributing editor for Computer User magazine, where he writes a monthly column about Windows. Joe found the Museum in 1997 and quickly became an addict. He took over hosting duties for the Museum in 2001 and began to get more involved in the day-to-day running of the website as the years passed. Joe's first-ever Megos were the RC Batman and RM Robin, way back in 1974, (he lost Robin's mask in less time than it's taken you to read this bio) and his all-time favorite is Spider-Man. Joe also runs The Mego Store, a website where you can buy practically anything having to do with Megos other than actual vintage Megos themselves. You can visit his home page at www.JoeDeRouen.com or the store at www.megostore.com
