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…
Toy Fair had it’s share of surprises this year as Diamond Select Toys revealed the packaging for the previously announced Punisher set (which is available to order here) and we were all pleased to see that Frank will indeed be packing heat. However, the bigger surprise is the announcement of a second DeadPool set featuring three new…
One of the nicer surprises at this past weekend’s Toy Fair was the sighting of NECA’s new “A Christmas Story” retro clothed action figures of Ralphie and his “Old Man” (aka Carl Kolchak himself, Darren McGavin) these will fit in nicely with previously release yule time NECA figures like Clarke Griswold and the Home Alone…
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…
A nice January surprise is the arrival of several different Figures Toy Company’s product lines including the oft forgotten brother sister team of Wendy and Marvin, the teen sidekicks in the first season of the Super Friends.

Mego Video Shorts are now a monthly feature here at the Mego Museum and well, this month we felt like playing with our Green Arrow car. Other than being hard to find in the collector market, it’s actually a well thought out and fun toy as this short will attest to. Look for more…
If this week wasn’t full of enough ReMego surprises, Classic TV Toys just rolled out a new series of vintage inspired rotational molded heads for your custom pleasure. The Jack series of (somewhat vaguely familiar) heads includes bearded, clean shaven and curly haired variations in a variety of colour combinations. Best of all, they’re shipping right…
Our Christmas gift to you is another Mego Museum Video Short! This month’s topic is the Mego Doctor Who line by Denys Fisher UK. Like all of our video shorts, this piece is narrated by Jason Lenzi (@bbplenzi) and written by Palitoy (@plaidstallions). This video showcases the known history of the line, dispelling some myths…
Both the recent waves of Super Friends figures came at the same time, which is fine by us. Wave four of Superfriends is 75% Legion of Doom members and includes some highly anticipated characters including Bizarro, Cheetah, Toy Man and the Green Lantern. So, as with all of our “Mego Museum Up Close” features, we let the…
If we woke up tomorrow with our head sewn to the carpet, we wouldn’t be more surprised than we when NECA announced this action figure of Chevy Chase from the Christmas classic comedy “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation”. In what we hope is a continuing series (the world is a dark place without Eddie, Ellen, Todd and Margot) this…
