This first appearance of The Hitchhiker from Texas Chainsaw Massacre in our clothed action figure line celebrates the character’s circle of “life”! The Hitchhiker (aka Leatherface’s brother Nubbins) first appears in the 1974 film, where he meets a gory end.

It’s been entirely too long since we’ve done an “Up Close” photo review/unboxing of a shiny new ReMego toy set. That’s why the arrival of the Punisher set by Diamond Select Toys is so welcome this summer. Originally promoted last year, this set has been highly anticipated by fans. Although he was a product of…
Ever since the discovery of this “Comic Super Helden” three pack there has been some curiosity as to how much of the line was marketed to the German market.

The Mezco 1:12th line of action figures has taken the Mego Community by storm in the last couple of years. The choice of licenses combined with the fact that these were reportadly inspired by the Custom Mego work of Charlee Flatt, have made these a fan favourite around these parts. That’s why we were so…
This photo is courtesy of our friends at Heroes West Coast and used with permission. Another wonderful surprise at last month’s Mego Meet was the discovery that the Mego 12″ Hulk was manufactured and sold by BASA of Peru. Like all of the BASA product we’ve seen, it’s similar to what US kids got with…
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.
