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: Pocket General Zod

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 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: 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: 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.
