Re-Mego of the Day: Raan

While Raan was just a one episode story character from the first season of Space:1999, Classic TV Toys made the first 8" likeness of British Horror film legend Peter Cushing. Let the custom Van Helsings and Baron Frankensteins commence!

Re-Mego of the Day: Buzzcut

While CTVT concentrated mainly on licensed properties, they did manage to squeeze out interesting items such as the Mad Clowns, Buzzcut was a more adult orientated offering from the company.

Re-Mego of the Day: Chachi

During Classic TV Toys tenure, the company released a staggering amount of characters and variations, filling gaps in our collections that some of us had never thought about. One such figure was Chachi Arcola, which not only satisfied Mego collectors but the ever growing legion of fans of the movie "Zapped!".

Mego of the Day: Ralph Hinkley

Mego of the Day is the sadly never released Greatest American Hero 8" figure. While owning one of these is something of a difficult task, our own Dr Mego made a lot of collector's day a little brighter with this 2007 show exclusive...

MOTD: Spider-Man Super Saver

Not enough attention is paid to these wonderful piggy banks by Mego, Spidey is the only Marvel character in the grouping which is diproportioned with four DC heroes and villains, poor Captain America......

Mego of the Day: Pocket General Zod

Mego of the Day: Humanoid

Mego of the Day is the incredibly elusive, foreign exclusive figure from the 1980 Walt Disney film "The Black Hole". A background group of characters, the humanoid is of particular interest to collectors due to figure only being sold in Canada and Italy.

Canadian Boxed Spider-Car

Mark Schmidt sent in photos of this rare item, a bilingual boxed Spider-Car from Parkdale Novelty. Previously it was believed all Parkdale did was sticker the US packaging, it seems that they also did a run of their own box. Thanks to Mark for sharing this northern rarity.

Mego of the Day: Cheron

That's not Frank Gorshin under there but Mego did recycle an actor's head sculpt to make this figure. Can you name it?

Mego of the Day: Allan Verdon

Thursday's Mego spotlight goes to Astronaut on the run, Allan Verdon. Many 70s kids fondly remember actor Ron Harper for other his other big genre role in the 1970s, Uncle Jack on Land of the Lost...

Mego of the Day: Buffalo Bill

Today's Mego of the Day is master Showman and American Legend Buffalo Bill. If you haven't taken a good look at this figures, I assure you, do it now! They're well made, low priced and a lot of fun to collect.

Mego American West Gallery

Mego of the Day: Uncle Jesse

He never got an eight inch figure but Patriarch of the Duke Clan, Uncle Jesse did sneak into the 3 3/4" Dukes series. The Dukes were popular enough to warrant a second wave.

Mego of the Day: Magnetic Hulk

This Magnetic bad boy only saw release in Europe sadly, the "Magna Heroes" line never got enough buyer support in the U.S.

Mego of the Day: Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy

No "Dammit Jim" jokes please. I've always loved this figures expression, it's a great likeness.

Mego of the Day: The Ewing Family

That's right, Mego of the Day is unproduced series of figures based on the television series "Dallas" if you look closely you can see that the Ewings were simply kitbashed from other toylines including Star Wars and Indiana Jones! I smell custom fodder.....

Mego of the Day: Steve Goal Getter

Mego of the Day is UK Exclusive Steve Goalgetter, produced by Mego corp for toy distributor Wiggens Teape in the late Seventies. Steve remains one of the harder items to find in the Mego collecting world.

Mego of the Day" Paul Stanley

Mego of the Day is frontman for the group KISS, Paul Stanley whi is actually Daryl Dragon under all that makeup...

Mego of the Day" Dinah-Mite's Ski Chalet

As playsets go, this one was pretty swank. Don was a lucky guy.

Mego of the Day: Richie Cunningham

From the days when everyone knew what "Ayyyyyyy!" meant....

Mego of the Day: Forbidden Zone Trap

Mego of the Day is the Planet of the Apes Forbidden Zone Trap playset, what a time we lived in when our folks let us have a post nuclear city environment....

Mego of the Day: Bend N Flex Batgirl

Just like her WGSH counterpart Bend N Flex Batgirl is super cute and a little tougher to find in good shape than most of her male counterparts.

Mego of the Day: Talking Super Softie Lone Ranger

Mego of the Day is Talking Super Softie Lone Ranger, this marks the sole occasion tried to do anything with the Masked Law man.

Mego of the Day: Captain Patch

Mego of the Day is Captain Patch from the World's Greatest Super Pirates line. He's the only character that doesn't have some sort of tie to either history or fictional pirate characters in the line.

Mego of the Day: 12" Killer Kane

Mego of the Day is 12" Killer Kane from the Mego Buck Rogers line. One of the nicer and often unfairly maligned figure sets from Mego. Kane here is a wonderful depiction of actor Henry Silva, sadly Kane was played by Michael Ansara in the subsequent television series which probably didn't help sales much.

Mego of the Day: Ford Torino

Mego of the Day is the third star of the TV series "Starsky and Hutch" (sorry Huggy Bear) the Ford Torino. While Mego didn't exactly make it to scale, it was so cool that nobody really cared.

Mego of the Day: Ma Walton

Mego of the Day is the strong matriarch of the Walton clan, Ma Walton. I have no idea what this character's real name is but I do know she was also used as Mada in the One Million BC line.

Mego of the Day: Mystery Pilot/Astronaut/Man

Kicking off another session of "Mego of the Day" is the Mystery Man, a character that has had Megoheads wondering for years, just who exactly is this guy?

Mego of the Day: Kolin Erb

In the spirit of Halloween, our Mego of the Day is Museum Member Kolin Erb seen here in this vintage Halloween shot as Robin, the boy wonder. It doesn't get cooler than this.

Happy Halloween from the MegoMuseum!

Mego of the Day: Franken....

Clown! That's right our Mego of the Day is a reanimated character stitched together from the corpses of other clown arounds.....

Mego of the Day: The Human Wolfman

Mego of the Day is the wonderful Human Werewolf, Mego went to great lengths to create something that didn't infringe on the Jack Pierce Lon Chaney makeup and created a pretty cool fantasy character. Part monster/Part story book villain, the Human Werewolf is a fan favorite.

Mego of the Day: Frankenbumps!

He never saw release but this cool concept of a figure was eventually retooled into Vac-Man in the 1990s. What is Frankenbumps? Here's what the patent says:

A stuffed toy includes a toy body, a tubular air control seat and an air extractor. The toy body is made from an air impermeable and stretchable cloth material and confines a hollow space that is stuffed with a solid filling material. The toy body is formed with a tubular connecting portion which defines an opening for accessing the hollow space. The air control seat is made from a pliable and resilient material and is secured in the tubular connecting portion of the toy body. The air control seat has a first tubular part and a second tubular part with a first end connected to the first tubular part and a second end that is formed with a control valve. The air extractor is secured in the first tubular part of the air control seat and is operable so as to draw air from the hollow space of the toy body into the air control seat in order to stiffen the toy body and enable the toy body to sustain a desired posture. The second tubular part of the air control seat is deformable to open the control valve and permit air flow into the hollow space of the toy body to release the toy body from the desired posture.

Phew!

There are currently no known samples of Mr Franken known to exist but maybe someday on will turn up.

Mego of the Day: Dracula

Not surprisingly, the Mego of the day today is Dracula (Monsters at Halloween, what a brave choice) not only the toughest Mad Monster to find but the originator of that whole "Tuxedo shirt" fad in the late seventies. Who knew?

Mego of the Day: The Falcon

Our Mego of the Day is Marvel comics The Falcon, when people talk about Mego at the height of their creativity, the Green Arrow is often mentioned but honestly, look at this guy! Those boots, the wings, the outfit, he's one of the best Mego ever produced.

Mego of the Day: CB McHaul

Happy shirtless good guy Trucker CB McHaul is our Mego of the Day today, a neglected and hard to find toy line carded CB figures are rarer than Romulans but not as in demand.

Click the logo to visit the world of CB McHaul

Mego of the Day: Ming the Merciless

Mego of the Day is the master of mayhem on the planet Mongo, the emporer Ming! If you don't collect these, I suggest checking out the Mego Museum Flash Gordon gallery, it will convert you. Scale, Schmale......

Mego of the Day: Goldie Hawk

Our Mego of the day is blonde bombshell (literally) Goldie Hawk from the Eagle Force. Neat Mego Fact: Goldie switched teams when she went to Europe becoming an agent of R.I.O.T, badguy "Nemesis" became a good guy.

Mego of the Day: Fighting Yank

Before Superman, Before Action Jackson, there was Fighting Yank, Mego's first action figure saw his share of battles, mostly legal. We'll get into that more in the new year when the Museum expands it's FY section.....

Mego of the Day: Fonzie's Motorcycle

Mego of the Day is something no Fonzie doll should be without (but most are sadly) the Fonzie Motorcycle. Despite it's training wheels, the Fonzie Motorcycle brings back to a time when a leather jacket and a solid catchphrase could make you an overnight sensation.

Mego of the Day: KISS Kamping set

Today's Mego of the Day may be the strangest item showcased here, the wonderfully odd (but not produced) Kiss Kamping set. Made for the 12" series of Mego KISS Dolls because everybody knows the boys just love the outdoors in full makeup. Whatever, it was the 70s and perfectly alright for people to have cocktails with their lunch.

Mego of the Day: Dimetrodon

Mego of the Day is the Dimetrodon / Sailback Dinosaur from the Mego One Million BC Line, I don't like that look he's giving me....

MOTD: The Witches Castle

The Witches Castle from Wizard of Oz is our Mego of the day. This playset which was exclusive to Sears, started out life in a different form, as a proposed playset for the Mego Super Knights.

Mego of the Day: Penguin Super Saver

A thrifty start to the week with the Mego Super Savers Penguin Bank, these figural banks are wonderfully detailed and highly underrated.

MOTD: Miss Mary Ellen Walton

Our Mego of the Day may not have been a best seller back in '75 but her noggin has graced a metric ton of custom mego figures including Catwoman, Mary Marvel and Spider-Woman, she's a truly versatile figure.

Mego of the Day: 12" Decker

Throwing out a little love for the much maligned first Star Trek movie today, who cares if they've got uniforms that slightly resemble feety pajamas? Decker is actually the toughest figure in the set and bears a nice resemblance to actor Stephen Collins.

Mego of the Day: Type 2 Batman

Mego of the Day is one of the most popular characters ever produced, the 8" Type 2 World's Greatest Superheroes Batman figure. When a lot of people think the word "Mego", this is what pops into their heads. Not me however, I always think of clownarounds.....

Mego of the Day: Starsky

Mego spotlight goes to Detective Dave Starksy from the "Starsky and Hutch" (obviously) one of mego's finer TV lines.

Mego of the Day : Micky

Micky from Our Gang is today's Mego of the day. He'll have a connection with Tuesday and Wednesday's MOTD, figure it out on the Mego forum and win some stickers.

Mego of the Day: Ultraman Leo

Intergalactic Space Police Officer Ultraman Leo is our Mego of the Day today.

Mego of the Day: Lobstros

Mego of the Day is the big, bad Micronaut Alien vehicle LOBSTROS, quite a menacing sight to any hapless time traveller....

Mego of the Day: The Cyberman

Today's Mego of the Day is a pain in the neck to Doctor Who, the 10 inch Cyberman doll. Despite being touch as nails on the series, the Mego Cyberman is a very fragile thing to own. Looking at him the wrong way can cause damage!

Mego of the Day: Magnetic Superman

Our Mego spotlight goes to Magnetic Superman, the interchangable figure that borrowed it's concept from the Micronauts. Mego Trivia: The US came close to having these, Mego pitched them hard and even created North American packaging for this figures which sold well in Italy.

Mego of the Day: Captain Zantor

Our Mego of the Day for this fine Monday is Captain Zantor from the UK only Space:1999 series, who was portrayed by esteemed actor Christopher Lee but many have suggested that he looks more like William Shatner. What do you think?

Mego of the Day: Zorro!

Rounding out "Moustache Week" at the Mego Museum is Spanish Superhero and UK exclusive Mego Zorro!

Mego of the Day: Jean LaFitte

It was a toss up between Jean and the cookie duster and overall Grandpa Walton for today's "Moustache Week" entry. Jean won out, mostly due to him being a pirate and that fact that he defended America in 1812. Making him an "outlaw hero" in the vein of Han Solo.

Plus I may want to do an "old coots" week somewhere down the road and without Grandpa Walton, I'd have to use Uncle Jessie twice.....

MOTD: Captain Dobey

It wouldn't be Moustache Week without TV Super Cop, Captain Dobey. Whose hobbies include leisure suits and yelling at Starsky and Hutch.

Mego of the Day: Harry Booth

Sneakly l'il 3" weasel Harry Booth is our Mego of the Day today. Everyone deserves a pocket sized Ernest Borgnine.

MOTD: Wyatt Earp

Today's Mego of the Day is American West Good GuyWyatt Earp.

American West is one of the easiest lines to get into, is it part of your collection?

Mego of the Day: Dinah-Mite

There is no better way to round out the week devoted to some of our favourite 8" ladies than to finish by paying tribute to the original, Mego Dinah-Mite.

Do you collect Dinah? Or do you consider it too close to Barbie? Having trouble finding a Dinah Outfit? Let us know in the Mego Forum.

Mego of The Day: Glinda

The Good Witch of the North from the Mego Wizard of Oz line is the spotlight today. A favourite of yours or something that will not grace your collection? Tell us about it at the Mego forum.

Mego of the Day: O Mighty Isis

Filmation's TV Superheroine is in the spotlight today, collectors sometimes debate as to whether or not Isis belongs in the WGSH. I frimly believe she does but what's your take?

Discuss at the Mego Forum

Mego of the Day: Lt Uhura

Mego Spotlight today goes to communications officer Lt. Uhura from the Mego Star Trek line. No bridge crew is complete without the sole female figure in the line.

Did you have an Uhura as a kid?

Let us know at the Mego Forum.

Mego of the Day: Daisy Duke

Our Mego of the Day is everybody's favourite cousin, Daisy Duke. While the eight inch figure left a lot to be desired in terms of head proportion and likeness (this is the Mego 12" Wonder Woman head shrunk down) she's still a popular item among collectors.

Or is she? Give us your opinion at the Mego Forum.

Mego of the Day: Captain Koenig

Normally we don't do Mego of the Day on Saturday but seeing as it's September 13th, the day that the Moon blew out of orbit on the series on Space:1999, it seemed kind of fitting.

Are a fan of the Mego/Palitoy Space:1999 figures? What did you think of the reproduction line?

Let us know at the Mego Forum.

Mego of the Day: Doctor Kromedome

Our Friday salute is to the double knit pant suit wearing Bionic Villain, Doctor Kromedome.

Fun Trivia: Mego had previously copyrighted the name Kromedome for a toy robot.

Did you have Dr K as a kid? Are you on the hunt for one? Let us know on the Mego Forum.

Mego of the Day: 12" Lex Luthor

Mego of the Day is the completely underrated 12" figure of Lex Luthor, looking like he just stepped out of the legion of doom, it's hard not to be in awe.

Check out our Superman the Movie Gallery

Discuss this figure on the Mego Forum

Mego of the Day: Plush King Kong

King Kong was a big get for mego in 1977 and that's why he's Mego of the day!

Explore our Mego King Kong Gallery.

Discuss Kong at the Mego Forum.

Mego of the Day: Dale Arden

Mego of the Day is Dale Arden, part of the wonderful Mego Flash Gordon line of figures.

Is Flash Gordon part of your collection? Is it something you want to pursue? Does the scale put you off, let us know at the Mego Forum.

Mego of the Day: Tiger Jack

Mego of the Day is Italian Market exclusive, Tiger Jack from the Tex Willer series. Tiger is the most commen character in the series and usually serves as a gateway for collectors.

MOTD: Jousting Horse

MOTD for Friday is the impossibly rare Jousting Horse from the Super Knights line. A toy I wish I owned, off to check ebay.de......

MOTD: Mad Monsters Type 2 Mummy

Mego of the Day is a type 2 version of the Mego "Horrible Mummy", who I don't think is horrible at all. Mummy is obviously, part of the Mego Mad Monsters Series, a fun line to collect IMO....

MOTD: Tiger Man

Today's Mego of the Day is none other than Draconian Henchman/Buck Rogers punching bag, Tiger Man!

Tiger Man despite his lack of lines, made for one of the more memorable characters in the movie and resulting series....

Mego of the Day: American Pilot

From the Lion Rock World War 2 Collection comes the first Mego of the Day for September, the American Pilot.

For somebody six inches tall, Mego packed a lot of detail into this guy. Happy Labour Day.

Mego of the Day: Human Torch

Flame on! It's the last Friday of the Summer, so why not end it with hottest Mego around?

Mego of the Day: Wild Bill Hicock

Wild Bill Hickock is part of the Mego American West Line and he shares his head sculpt with the Black Knight from the Super Knights.

Did you have this guy as a kid? Is he currently on your wantlist? Do you collect American West? Let us know at the Mego Forum..

MOTD: Bend N Flex Robin

Today we look at Bend N Flex Robin, one of Mego's lower price point creations, these figures generally sold for under one dollar and were a big hit.

There were three waves of Bend N Flex Heroes, some of which are very hard to find.

MOTD: The Dare Brothers

Today's Mego of the Day are the wonderfully obscure high flying acrobats The Dare Brothers, an extremely limited release by Mego that proves to be a challenge to collect today.

"Dare Brothers! Imagine you're one of them!"

Did you have these guys as a kid or did just find out about them now? Let us know at the Mego Forum.

Mego of the Day: MADA

Mego of the Day for Monday is that kooky cave lady Mada from the One Million BC line, definitely the looker in the bunch. Mada shares a head sculpt with Ma Walton, that's some clever recycling there.

MOTD: Planet of the Apes Astronaut

Mego of the Day for Friday is the mutton chopped Taylor replacement, the Astronaut from the Planet of the Apes. He was no Heston but as a kid, who gave a crap? My God, that wonderful hair.....

Did you have the Astronaut as a kid? Is this the first time you've heard mention of it? Is it on your wantlist? Does it even interest you?

Monday's MOTD: I'll have to get back to you

Mego of the Day; Grandma Walton

Mego of the Day for Thursday is the first female Mego of the Day, so it seemed fitting to have the eldest character in the Mego-verse (next to Doctor Who) that matriarch of the mountain folk, Ma Walton!

Did you have a Ma Walton as a kid? If so why? Is this the first time you've heard mention of it? Is it on your wantlist? Does it interest you?

Friday's MOTD: The Astronaut

Mego of the Day: Hans Reinhart

Mego of the Day for Wednesday is Dr. Hans Reinhart, insane head of the Cygnus from the Disney Sci Fi Epic The Black Hole.

Did you have the Black Hole guys as a kid? Did you play with them in character or use them as other characters? Is this the first time you've heard mention of it? Is it on your wantlist? Does it interest you?

Thursday's MOTD: a guh-guh-girl

Mego of the Day: Chopper From Starsky and Hutch

Mego of the Day for Tuesday is the generic bad guy to TV's Supercop Duo Starsky and Hutch, an underrated gem of an action figure. If you didn't have him, there would be much for the cops to do. An interesting bit of trivia is that Chopper was sculpted by Ken Sheller and was never meant to have that painted on Hobo beard. Without Chopper takes on a more menacing appearance whcih was orginally intended....

Did you have a Chopper as a kid? Is this the first time you've heard mention of it? Is it on your wantlist? Does it interest you?

Wednesday's MOTD: Reinhart from the Black Hole

Mego of the Day: Franz Beckenbauer

Mego of the Day for Monday is Soccer Legend Franz Beckenbauer, a German exclusive most of us didn't know existed until we picked up John Bonavita's landmark publication Mego Action Figure Toys. Franz shares the same scale as Mego's other well known sports celebrity Muhamad Ali.

Obviously not a lot of us had a Franz Beckenbauer doll as a kid but there is still lots to discuss. Is this the first time you've heard mention of it? Is it on your wantlist? Does it interest you?

Tuesday's MOTD: Chopper from Starsky and Hutch
