Mego Museum’s "The Wrath of Khan-Test"

October 20, 2008

Celebrating the release of EMCE Toys newest Star Trek figure Khan, we’ve decided to have a contest.

First Prize: An EMCE Khan figure! This new 8″ figure features a wonderful sculpt by James “Captain Dunsel” Brady and new packaging artwork by Mego alum Harold Shull, the man who made much of the original packaging so appealing.

This Figure is available at Planet X stores and at Dr.Mego’s website.

Second and Third Prize: A Megomuseum mini poster, a selection of cards and stickers.

What do you have to do? Toughen up your Kirk!

That’s right, take an action photo of your mego (or EMCE) Kirk and tell us why he can kick Khan’s butt. Do whatever you want, be creative, use photoshop if you can, use the 3″ movie Kirk, or even just use this photo but give us a good reason why Khan won’t be stealing the Enterprise Playset anytime soon.

One entry per person at the Mego Forum

Contest Closes at 9pm EST on Friday October 31st.

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

October 17, 2008

By Museum

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

October 16, 2008

By Museum

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.

The 1977 Mego Green Arrow A Card

October 15, 2008

By Museum

An interesting new addition to the Megomuseum Galleries is this 1977 A carded Green Arrow, he most notable feature of these figures is the butterfly punch and the thinner plastic bubble.

While both backers are non glossy on these versions, what’s unique about the card on the left unique about the card on the right is it’s purple backer, proving to many that there was an Aquaman in this A card series as well..
