This is a very fitting Fourth of July post. We’re elated to add this extremely rare Palitoy Green Carded Captain America to the Mego Museum Captain America Gallery. This example courtesy of our friends at Heroes West Coast is only the second we at the Museum have seen in the last 18 years.
One of the more interesting pieces on display at Mego Meet 2017 was this original Mego Artwork for the Dukes of Hazzard Police Chase car set. It’s not everyday you see original Mego artwork for any of the toy lines. The artist signed it “Gabrielle” if anyone can name the artist, we’d be in your…
Another Mego Meet has come and gone. Please enjoy a large gallery of photos of the event below. We at the Museum want to thank the following people: All attendees, dealers and volunteers. The old faces and the new, thanks for the support. Art Baltazar and the staff of Aw Yeah Comics Skokie.…
The never produced Mego Thundarr the Barbarian toy line is usually in the top five of Mego fans wish lists along with “Logan’s Run“, “Ark 2” and the “Greatest American Hero” lines (Not many people mourn “Dallas” sorry). So we at the Mego Museum love any information about Thundarr we can get. That is why…
Another absolute highlight of the 2017 Mego Meet convention was the incredible display of Austin’s collection of his custom Mego creations. We sat down with him and talked about his collection and creating custom Mego figures in general for this video. Look for a gallery of photos later this week.

Check out the 1979 Palitoy Catalog Here. Discuss this find on the Mego Museum Forum. Now Available Mego…
One of the biggest supporters of Mego’s Action Jackson line was Morris Kotzer, founder of Parkdale Novelty, one of Canada’s leading toy suppliers. In the MegoMuseum Pod Cast interview with Kotzer’s son Lorne, he recounted the amusing circumstances behind Parkdale placing such a big order. Action Jackson‘s sales fell well below expectations in Canada and…
As promised last week, we have more from Stephan’s epic discovery of “Los Famosos Superheroes” in Colombia, (first installment is here in case you missed it) . This time we’ll concentrate on the other loose Caravajal figures he stumbled upon, namely Batman, Superman Penguin and…. The Joker! Any collector of Lili Ledy figures from Mexico knows…
Many thanks to our new friend Stephan, who upon a recent visit to Columbia discovered that yet another country licensed the World’s Greatest Superheroes brand from Mego. Instead of importing Hong Kong manufactured product, Colombian distributor Caravajal produced the figures locally at the Rimax plastic factory to produce Los Famosos Super Heroes (en Accion).This…
