This week, we talk about one of our most persistent (and in my case, annoying) Mego mysteries. This figure surfaced in the late 1970s in clearance bins in New York City, he had no packaging but he’s clearly made by Mego. Who the heck is he? We’ve been trying to figure that out for 20…
This week is all about one of my favourite Mego Playsets, the amazing Forbidden Zone Trap from the Planet of the Apes line. We give a history of the set, it’s many fun features and also talk about whether the gift set may or may not exist. For more information on the Planet of the…
Thanks to our pal Joe, we have the 1976 Mego Catalog from Spain (and hey, you can buy it here right now if you’re so inclined.) Poch was Mego’s distributor in Spain and of course, even most famously created variant window boxes for the American West line but unlike a lot of European distributors, they took a boatload…
Our pal David tracked down yet another in the growing number of “Mego Outfits on Low cost Fashion Dolls” series. This time it’s the jumpsuit worn by Dr. Kate Macrae in “the Black Hole” outfit. Good eye David. Also, he discovered yet another Star Trek doll, this time she’s a blonde. I’m going to call her Janice. So…

Page One is…

On this Cyber Monday, we thought it’d be fun to go back to the future, to the time where our Christmas wishlists were ruled by Apes! Entertainment Earth’s Cyber Monday sale has deep discounts on ReMego figures by Bif Bang Pow! and Figures Toy Company. Check it out here and support the Mego Museum!…
NECA’s foray into the Planet of the Apes license has quickly become a fan favourite on the Mego Museum forums. Their latest release is the Soldier Ape, the favourite of Mego army builders for years. How does he stack up, judge for yourself with this up close look. If you like what you see, he…
NECA has in two years transformed from a company who used the ReMego format as a novelty to one of the most exciting companies working in the format. We’ve just added a NECA forum at the Mego Museum, check it out here: https://megomuseum.com/community/forumdisplay.php?72-NECA
