Here’s a fun Mego Mystery that we don’t have the answer to. Prior to Toy Fair 1976 Mego Corporation (who were, really at the top of their game) took out a clever two-page ad (at the front) of all the leading toy trade magazines showcasing their successful and upcoming toy lines for 1976. Page One is…
We’re upgrading our content at the Museum currently and one gallery that was a little underwhelming was the 12″ Captain America page. New photos, information and promotional materials have been added for Cap. We even get a little into the history of the first Avenger. Check out his shiny new page here. Discuss…

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.

Early bird attendees enjoyed…
When first announced by Diamond Select Toys, Deadpool raised a few eyebrows in the Mego community as he’s the first character to get the Mego treatment that was created post Mego. However, all reservations were proven unfounded (the hit movie likely didn’t hurt) as the Mutant merc with a mouth seems to be quite the hit with toy collectors.…
While reproductions are fine and all, we here at the Mego Museum are always more excited when a new ReMego character is produced. Especially when it’s a character like the Scarecrow, this bat villain has been long overdue for the Mego treatment and Figures Toy Company has made it happen in 2016. Released as the…
Its Awards show time again as we announce the winners of 2015 as chosen by you. Like every Kubby Awards, we’re thankful to the many companies that produce these figures for having so much choice in the matter. This year was a stellar one packed with Superheroes, Monsters, Villains, Robots, Apes and rebels, so much…

Thor is a pretty pricey…
