Hail to “The King!” When I started collecting Mego-scaled Knock-Offs, I knew there was at least one Elvis out there, but since then, I’ve been on my third bootleggy iteration of Mr. The Pelvis. My latest, “The King,” is my most original and new favourite. He’s a 9″ doll with a unique head sculpt […]
Telly Favourites Play Figures. “Suspects are pantsless, I repeat pantsless” Another weird way to sell unsold Mego factory seconds, both these figures are on the wrong bodies and each just has a tunic. I love the header card with the lowest-resolution picture of Adam West they could find. Did they take a Polaroid of an […]
Explosive new gallery added to the PlaidStallions Action Figure Archive today, The Adventurer! The Adventurer seems to have been spawned in the early 1970s and is heavily influenced by the Mego Action Jackson toy line. The figures themselves appear to be a blow-molded 8″ figure of Tommy Gunn ( Gunn was a UK take on […]

Added some new pics and information to our Hasbro Super Joe page at the Action Figure Archive.

G.I. […]
The Croner Buck Rogers action figure line is one of the more curious toy lines as Australia is the only place in the world to have two competing action figure lines for Buck Rogers, Croner and Mego. Are these made by Mego? It’s not known but they sure look similar, more at the Plaid Stallions […]
The Bug Men of Insecta are a wonderfully creepy line of action figures knocking off Masters of the Universe and Sectaurs with a splash of horror. The new gallery has photos, catalog scans and even a video about this weird toy line. More Updates all this week. Cheers! bRaIn Issue 4 of […]
Crime Busters come out of the United Kingdom and seem to from the late 70s or early 1980s. They one of many Knock Off series that make use of discarded or left-over suits from Ideal’s Captain Action. This kind of item popped up until the mid-1980s. The figures themselves appear to be lower quality knock-offs […]
