Forbidden Zone

Forbidden Zone


While taping our upcoming Podcast about Apocalypse movies, I couldn’t help but bring up one of the weirder but fonder memories of my childhood.

Behold the Forbidden Zone Trap, my favourite Mego play set of all time. I wanted this so bad as a kid it hurt, which is weird because it’s basically a city destroyed by a nuclear war AKA the thing that keeps kids up at night.


It also is pretty much anti-human but having worked retail, I totally understand that one.
