Enterprise Close-Out Set
This Star Trek Enterprise Playsetcomes with no furniture, no transporter, is very sloppily put together….and yet, we LOVE IT! We’ve heard people talk about this set before. In fact, Palitoy says he saw one years ago at a toy show and…
Star Trek The Motion Picture 3 3/4″
Intro Return to Top By the late 70’s Star Trek has snowballed into a phenomenon, the announcement of a Star Trek motion picture had truly excited the movie going public then sci fi crazy after Star Wars Mania had…
Star Trek The Motion Picture 12 Inch Figures
The 12″ Line was a more logical assortment (forgive the pun) as it merged aliens with crew and gave them weapons! What a good idea. No slouches in the likeness department, Mego captured the Trek crew very well. Too bad…
Star Trek Accessory Toys
Accessory Links Communicators Command Console Phaser Target Telescreen Console Tricorder Trekulator The Mego Star Trek line provided opportunities for Mego to branch out and innovate beyond action figures. In the years to come Mego would pioneer a number of electronic interactive toys…
Transporter Room
The Transporter Room (Cat. No 22803), an elusive UK exclusive. This accessory was sold by the Bradgate Division of Palitoy in the UK, and took the place of the Enterprise Playset in Great Britain. The name “Mego” appears nowhere on…
Mission to Gamma VI Playset
Mego Mission to Gamma VI Playset The Mission to Gamma VI Playset is really kind of a marvel. The large godlike idol has glowing eyes and movable jaws to munch on crew members or the little plastic alien creatures…
Enterprise Gift Set
The U.S.S. Enterprise Action Gift Set (Item No. 51217), one of the rarest “Trek” items out there. This playset poses a real source of confusion for the Mego collector. There are so few of these sets out there that we…
Enterprise Playset
The U.S.S. Enterprise Playset (Item No. 51210)…nothing says “Mego” quite like this little gem. This accessory gives the Emerald City and the Batcave heavy competition for most popular Mego playset ever. If not the most popular, it is certainly the…
Star Trek
Mego’s “Star Trek” line was “officially” based on the live-action series in syndication in 1974, but the Mego designers appear to have referred repeatedly to The Animated Series for inspiration. It’s not difficult to imagine why frugal, economical Mego would…
The Romulan (Item No. 51204/1), regarded by most collectors as the best and most accurate Alien made by Mego (with the Andorian always coming in a close second). Regretfully, it is also the rarest. Make no mistake: the Romulan figure…
Talos
Mego Talos (Item No. 51204/2), not even the name is correct. (The planet was called Talos IV, but the indigenous people are generally referred to as Talosians.) Technically he should have been called “The Keeper” as he was referred to…
Neptunian
The Neptunian (Item No. 51203/1), providing a rather inauspicious start to the line of Aliens figures. This figure is actually fairly ornate and well-designed, in a Saturday-afternoon-sci-fi-serial kind of way, but its great failure is that it NEVER APPEARED IN…
Mugato
Mugato (Item No. 51204/4), a “Creature of the Week” from the Classic “Star Trek” episode “A Private Little War.” The Mugato, a beast indigenous to the planet Neural, is a savage and carnivorous simian, with white fur, a large cranial…
The Keeper
The Keeper (Item No. 51203/2), is a hybrid of two “Star Trek” aliens. This figure shares its name with the Talosian designated as The Keeper (from the episode “The Cage” or “The Menagerie”–take your pick), but possesses a head and…
Gorn
The Mego Gorn (Item No. 51203/3). This figure wins the booby prize for Most Embarrassing Attempt at a Star Trek Alien, hands-down (and with stiff competition like Talos and Mugato in the running, that’s saying something!). The Gorn appeared in…
Bridge Crew
The original five “Star Trek” figures were released in 1974, and included Capt. Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. McCoy (Bones), Mr. Scott (Scottie), and the Klingon. It is notable that these were the first 8″ Mego figures to be available exclusively…
Cheron
The Mego Cheron (Item No. 51203/4), arguably the best attempt at a “Star Trek” Alien within the first series of Aliens. This estimation is not due to any impressive degree of craftsmanship in the Cheron, but is instead indicative of…
Andorian
The Mego Andorian (Item No. 51204/3). If the Romulan figure can claim bragging rights for holding the title of Best Overall Mego Alien, then the Andorian can at least claim the prize of Most Accurate Mego Alien, just nosing out…
Lt. Uhura
Lt. Uhura (Item No. 51200/4), communications officer of the Starship Enterprise, as portrayed by Nichelle Nichols. The head sculpt on this figure is, regrettably, kind of “blah,” reflecting more of a generic female face than the character itself. It’s serviceable, but it wins…
Klingon
The Klingon (Item No. 51200/7), a lone warrior representing the race that poses the single greatest threat to the Federation. The head sculpt on this figure bears more than a passing resemblance to Captain Koloth (portrayed by William Campbell) from…
Mr. Scott
Mr. Scott (Scottie) (Item No. 51200/5), chief engineer of the Starship Enterprise, as portrayed by James Doohan. The head sculpt on this figure resembles the animated Scotty to a much greater degree than the real-life inspiration. It is still a…
Dr. Bones McCoy
Dr. McCoy (Bones) (Item No. 51200/3), chief medical officer and third-in-command of the Starship Enterprise, as portrayed by the late DeForest Kelley. The head sculpt on this figure is a beautiful likeness of the actor, only slightly entering the…
Mr. Spock
Mr. Spock (Item No. 51200/2), science officer and second-in-command of the Starship Enterprise, as portrayed by Leonard Nimoy. The head sculpt on this figure is probably not as accurate as Mego could have been, with regard to the actor’s likeness, but it is…
Captain Kirk
CAPTAIN KIRK 5 Face Card 6 Face Card Blank Back Card Catalog Mailer Box CAPTAIN KIRK ACCESSORIES Shirt Emblem Pants Weapons Belt Weapon Set Capt. Kirk (Item No. 51200/1), commander of the Starship Enterprise, as portrayed by William Shatner. The head sculpt…
Aliens Series One
The outstanding success of the “Star Trek” line naturally led to new releases over the next two years. Mego’s first priority was to give the Enterprise crew more adversaries to fight. In 1975, four new figures were released:…
Aliens Series 2
In spite of many glaring inaccuracies and inconsistencies with the established “Star Trek” canon, these four Aliens sold well-enough to warrant a third (and, as it would turn out, final) series of “Trek” figures, consisting of four more Aliens: a…
