We love a surprise here at the Mego Museum, so when the announcement broke last week that Think Geek was offering a variant Captain America ReMego set (crafted by Diamond Select Toys and EMCE) well, we were all over that! This set is different in many ways to last year’s Captain America Set (Still Available at…
DareDevil was another Marvel favorite that despite being created in the silver age, never got the 8 inch Mego treatment in the 1970s. To be fair, the character hadn’t quite had the media exposure that superheroic peers like the Hulk and Thor had at that point. Mego heads for the last 30 years or so,…
One of the most exciting things about San Diego Comic Con this year was the triumphant return of the Micronauts courtesy of their new owners at Hasbro. They have big plans for Mego’s smash action figure line including a feature film adaptation. However for SDCC, they wonderfully recreated three of their most popular figures Pharoid,…
The popular Super Friends toy line by Figures Toy Company has rolled out it’s second wave of figures (although the Wonder Twins were also released in between those waves) and if you want to reviews of Wave one you can find it here and here. Wave two of Superfriends is comprised again of Good Guys…
The last wave of 1966 Batman figures by Figures Toy Company were met with a flurry of interest but the spotlight most definitely belonged to Batgirl and Barbara Gordon, hardly anyone spoke of the latest Batman variant that was also in the wave. That’s a bit of shame because it’s a Removable Cowl Batman, something…
Mego fans know that the World’s Greatest Toy Company planned a figure of Jack Cole’s creation thanks to his popularity on Saturday morning TV but it didn’t happen. Sure there was the Elastic figure but those are expensive and known to explode, so he doesn’t count. So naturally, we were delighted when Figures Toy Company…
Re-runs of The Monkees were an afternoon staple for many a 70s kid (self included) growing up, so naturally, we were delighted when Figures Toy Company announced that the first ever Monkees action figures would be in the Mego style. So we’re a bit giddy here at the MegoMuseum to have all three sets of…
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.…
I will admit that SuperFriends is my favourite toy line that Figures Toy company currently makes. We try hard to be objective but it’s important to be transparent and admit that this series makes me happy. Even when it’s the Wonder Twins, two characters I tolerated but didn’t adore on Saturday morning but 30 years…
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…
