What’s one item in your collection your most proud of?
I have a set of the 4 Secret Identity figures. I never thought I own a set and am glad I was able to acquire them.
What’s your Mego “white whale”?
The Pocket Heroes Spidey-Mobile. I have been after one forever. A close second would be a carded Batmobile.
Any other hobbies, or collections?
Mego is my main collection, although you’d never know it looking in my toy room. Being a draftsman though I like to draw houses on the side.

Any words of wisdom for beginning collectors?
Collect what you like and be kind to one another. You can make life long friends in this hobby. I certainly have.
