A sneak peak of one of our upcoming updates is the World’s Greatest Superheroes assortment available to the United Kingdom in 1980. If you’re keeping count, that means the WGSH had three distributors in Great Britain starting with Cecil Coleman in 1974 (Coleman also carried “Johnny Jackson“) famously moving to Palitoy in the mid 1970s…
If Mego had a lasting mark on the toy fair, it was their showmanship. Marty Abrams brought a splash of colour to Toy Fair and with it, record sales year after year, his escapades would be copied in events and toy launches, that occur to this day. When Action Jackson launched, he brought in Milton Berle, for the…
Seeing as Star Trek is 50 today and it was one of Mego‘s biggest and earliest hits, we thought we’d spotlight one of the oddest and rarest pieces to come out of that delicious union, the highly sought after Close-Out Set. Our own Robyn Adams did a great write up of this piece when…

Here’s the official description: This is a new, authentic 1940s Captain America…
DareDevil was another Marvel favorite that despite being created in the silver age, never got the 8 inch Mego treatment in the 1970s. To be fair, the character hadn’t quite had the media exposure that superheroic peers like the Hulk and Thor had at that point. Mego heads for the last 30 years or so,…
One of the most exciting things about San Diego Comic Con this year was the triumphant return of the Micronauts courtesy of their new owners at Hasbro. They have big plans for Mego’s smash action figure line including a feature film adaptation. However for SDCC, they wonderfully recreated three of their most popular figures Pharoid,…
