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.
Fun new addition to our growing catalog library. 1979 would be the final year for Palitoy and the World’s Greatest Superheroes (and sadly all 8″ product) but they still added another new character in their final year. 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.

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) .

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…
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…
We love a surprise here at the Mego Museum, so when the announcement broke last week that Think Geek was offering a variant Captain America ReMego set (crafted by Diamond Select Toys and EMCE) well, we were all over that!
