Welcome once again to the Mego Museum’s Megohead of the Month, where we feature a Museum member and their collection.

The Mego Collection of Kresge1

Museum Handle: Kresge1. When I first started collecting I loved the Kresge cards. Something about the taller cards and the colors and that bubble down the middle. I actually had a complete set at one time, but sold off some of them over the years. They are still my favorite packaging

Solid Boxed Mego Superheroes

What is one item in your collection your most proud of? I am extremely proud of my Lion Rock collection of WW2 figures. I can humbly say I think I have the most extensive LR collection known…all the different boxes from the different countries that released them, all the different carded version and a complete boxed, carded and loose set plus all the catalogs.

Lion Rock WW2 Mego Figures

Any other hobbies, collections? I collect the Gulliver line from Brazil, The SMDM toys, comic books.

Any words of wisdom for beginning collectors? Patience, patience, patience. When I first started I had to have everything right away and I paid top dollars…nowadays I wait for these items to pop up on my price range and I look for the hidden auctions on ebay. Take your time. It will come your way eventually.
