Fantastic Update courtesy of Jens Knappman today who was kind enough to scan this rare German leaflet for the Lion Rock Gestern Wars series but also translated the whole thing for us as well. It’s a really neat look at foreign marketing many of us haven’t seen before: 1939 – 1945GESTERN WAR’S.When the world was…
A fun update today at the Mego Museum Super Softie Gallery, today we take a look at Spider-Man with new pictures including (finally!) shots of the 19″ Spider-Man figure boxed.

Neat addition to the Lionrock World War 2 Gallery today, it’s the 1976 Mego Johnny Action Catalog featuring the military that Mego marketed around the world under many different names. It’s a beautiful toy line that deserves demands more attention, check it out here. Megomuseum.com- The Web’s Greatest Mego Playset
A neat new addition to the Mego Museum Super Pirates Gallery. Captain Patch was recycled by an anonymous toy distributor in the mid seventies to get rid of excess Matchbox “Fighting Furies” outfits. The figure was often just shoved into an existing outfit (as seen above). The head is a reverse of the Mego head…
Just a friendly reminder that today is the first day that you can order the initial figure from the Mattel “Retro-Action: DC Super Heroes” line (fomerly known as World’s Greatest Superheroes). Eight inch Superheroes with real cloth costumes, it’s a good day but stop and smell the roses, get your order in at mattycollector.com now,…
Another up close shot of the upcoming Retro Action line, this time it’s Oliver Queen himself! The Green Arrow! The original Mego Sculpt has been altered here, it’s not a reproduction but a nice alteration of the original. Amazing how the eye paint changes the whole aesthetic. Green Arrow will be availble December 23rd (that’s…
Thanks to good people at Mattel and EMCE we have another early look at the Mattel Retro Action DC Super Heroes line, this time it’s 8″ Sinestro head sculpt again in the rather fitting “Mugshot” style. As with Lex there is a “Challenge of the Superfriends” vibe going on here and it’s just one thing…
Thanks to good people at Mattel and EMCE we have an early look at the Mattel Retro Action DC Super Heroes 8″ Lex Luthor head sculpt in a sort of fitting “Mugshot” style. I get a little bit of a “Challenge of the Superfriends” vibe from Lex here. Lex will be in “Wave One” of…
Made some updates the Dukes of Hazzard 3 3/4″ Gallery, mostly repairing the glaring omission of the vehicle sets but also adding some detailed shots of the unproduced “Cooter’s Garage” playset. I noticed we don’t have a single packaged figure shown, so if you have some and you’re handy with a camera email us! Otherwise…
Want to feel old? Star Trek the Motion Picture was released 30 years ago last month. While the “human adventure” didn’t set the toy aisles ablaze with sales, Mego squeaked some fun toys for Christmas that year and we’ve completely redesigned our Star Trek: The Motion Picture Gallery. We’ve added dozens of new packaging and…
