This rare and wonderful piece from Canada recently surfaced and it’s a neat look into how Mego distribution worked in the great white North. Growing up just outside of Toronto, this catalog, which is hobbled together from a variety of sources, solved more than one “why didn’t I get that” mysteries for me. For more…
After a week filled with an exhaustive list of “What’s New” in Mego style figures, I can think of no better way to end it than to go back to the beginning. Thanks to a generous donation by Cat G. we have this cool toy trade item from Australia proving that Action Jackson was truly…
Courtesy of super collector Mark Huckabone, we don’t talk enough about Mego’s entry into 1/6th scale and here is proof. Four distinct variations in carded Spider-Man 12″ figures right under our noses. This would be the first version, featuring the Canadian skinny body. Version 2 features the muscular body that is more known in the…
Steven Ross generously shared with us this awesome letter from Mego VP Bill Baron (whom we interviewed in 2006). Steven explains “When I was a teenager (with a lot of time on my hands, apparently), I sent the Mego Corp. a multi-page letter (on notebook paper!), that explained why Marvel’s Micronauts (comics) would make an…
It doesn’t look like much but this inauspicious looking room is actually Fort Knox for Mego collectors. You’re looking at Lion Rock’s store room in Hong Kong where all the tooling dies were kept. This is where Batman, Baron Karza and Dinah-Mite came from. Just a shiny bit of Mego love for a cold…
Issue no. 56 of Back Issue! focuses on the Avengers, and contains a special treat for Megoheads. Our own Chris Franklin contributed an article titled Assemble Them All! Avengers Action Figures in the Back Issue! Era.

Dinah Mite seems to be the only lady at this square dance and the Solider Ape looks lonely. Visit Foreign Mego for more exotic…
Another excerpt from the Mason’s ad from last week, showing everybody 1974 wasn’t completely Ape-centric. Megomuseum.com- The Web’s Greatest Mego Playset
Todays Update: The Star Trek Enterprise Playset. Saving the best for the very last, we at the Megomuseum are proud to unveil this never before seen Mego playset, the Star Trek Bridge 2.0! Not only do we have a little history behind it, for 1977 the Mego R&D crew were attempting to create more detailed…
Todays Update: Two More Star Trek Science Kits. Today’s entry is our final two shots of the ill fated 1977 Mego Star Trek Science kits including a sextant. Neat concept but possible Mego should have “trekked them up 35% more” in presentation. Betchya they’d have had killer Hal Shull artwork on the packaging.Tomorrow: We wrap with the Mego…
