Vintage Mego this week talks about all the cool Black Hole stuff we didn’t get when the merchandise underperformed. We’re talking electronic games, remote-controlled robots, car racing sets, action figures, playsets and vehicles! So much goodness!
Vintage Mego this week goes in, through, and beyond Mego’s relationship with Disney’s 1979 Science Fiction blockbuster, The Black Hole! This episode explicitly discusses the 12″ Mego line of action figures based on the Black Hole characters, considered one of Mego’s biggest failures. Why did it fail? We give you a breakdown while discussing its…
Our pal David tracked down yet another in the growing number of “Mego Outfits on Low cost Fashion Dolls” series. This time it’s the jumpsuit worn by Dr. Kate Macrae in “the Black Hole” outfit. Good eye David. Also, he discovered yet another Star Trek doll, this time she’s a blonde. I’m going to call her Janice. So…

We at the Museum got a nice Christmas present from Mego collecting legend John Bonavita in the form of these great shots of the prototype for the never mass produced magnetic figure of “Old B.O.B” Click here to see more, I can’t think of a better way to start ’09 than something cool like this.…
