The Mego Museum Robin Hood Trading Card
Finishing our Merry Men theme this week is Robin Hoodt from the World's Greatest Super Merry Men being a desperate outlaw (although as we've seen, he won't alone for long) Our own Scott Adams designed this fun night scene and the card was sponsored by Thomas, Joe and Paul at the Mego Forum.
As is par for the course, we've also redesigned the Mego Museum Gallery for Page for the good Friar so be sure to check it out.
Continuing on our Merry Men theme this week is WillScarlett from the World's Greatest Super Merry Men giving Mego Robin Hood a lesson in humility it seems. Our own Scott Adams designed this fun night scene and the card was sponsored by Jadan and his dad Darren aka "Starsky" at the Mego Forum.

Continuing on our Merry Men theme this week (not in order mind you) is Little John from the World's Greatest Super Merry Men giving Mego Robin Hood a lesson in humility it seems. Our own Scott Adams designed this fun scene and the card was sponsored by Bobby Simpson aka Bobws at the Mego Forum.

Another series of cards is upon us, continuing with the Legends theme we have Friar Tuck from the World's Greatest Super Merry Men giving Mego Robin Hood a little help across the river.

A close second to being in a room full of people who share your obsession (and speak your Mego language) is the Mego Meet Dealers Room. Whether your poison is MOC, loose, custom, repro, parts, you will never find a better grouping of all things Mego under one roof than here.
The room was always tightly cramped, I often had to wait until Seminars were in session to get a good shot of what was available. Here are some but not all of the vendors in attendance:
Art Balthazar brought his impressive custom collection for all too see, he was also signing copies of my son's favourite comic, Tiny Titans.
Scott Adams brought a breath taking assortment of Dida Displays, these sets truly will make you wish you were six again. I'm really jealous of whoever got the last Monster set.
This Quick Video shows in greater details the offerings from Art, Dr. Mego EMCE Toys (the upcoming Khan and Gorn figures are awesome BTW) and Scott's Dida Displays.
Roberto "Blue Meanie" Ligotti brought a stellar assortment of items, which isn't really a surprise, he's done it for the past 4 Meets.
This case of Roberto's is where most of my Mego Money went this weekend but I am really happy about that, trust me.
John from Type 3 Toys was on hand showcasing his creations, the focus is on bronze age Marvel characters and honestly photos just don't do them justice, they are works of art.
More from Type 3 Toys, that Deathlok was truly superb.
Austin had a great assortment of customs including a '67 Spider-Man that so calling to me.
Brian Leitner had an awesome sampling of his uniforms.
New to the show Jim Hampton brought a terrific assortment of items including his Sherrif of Nottingham figure which he sold out of at the Meet.
Also new to the show was author Sean Griffen, who offered a bevy of minty figures.
New to the Department store gallery is this amazing deal on Mego Superheroes nobody in their right mind would pass on today. Removable Cowl Batman, Superman and Removable Mask Robin for under six bucks? I wish, this very rare Aldens catalog is likely the first appearance of the WGSH.
Derek has made a stunning Mego Custom of Justice League Bad Guy Copper Head and it's the recipiant of this week's Custom Spotlight.
On the subject of Bad Guys, Ed has created a custom of the Hulk's arch enemy The Leader that somehow makes having a huge head and a moustache look cool.
