I spent last evening loading up all the images for Mego’s grand launch back to Target stores (You can see it all at the MegoMuseum), even got a call from Mego’s president last night. So I’m suer nostalgic, grateful and entirely validated right now, also tired. Anyway, Mego is what brought me on this grand […]
Wow, throw in a Mr Kotter doll and you’ve got a great episode of “Battle of the Network Stars”
It’s sadly looking like the end for Toys R Us in the United States, so let’s go and focus on when it was a growing company that made for an amazing experience. This Flyer from 1980 is so jam-packed with late 1970s pop culture that every page seems to have some Incredible Hulk or Wonder Woman […]
Something that didn’t get mentioned in the recent “The Toys That Made us” was the first Star Trek action figure wasn’t of Kirk or Spock it was of Janice Rand? This Japanese toy line is something I’ve seen in small black and white catalogs since I was a teenager but at the recent MegoMeet celebration […]
I’m still in recovery mode from Mego Meet but wanted to share this story of my first experience walking on the show floor. My friend Scott takes me aside and hands me this, a custom Dyna Girl. Last year Scott had done a limited amount of Electra Woman but only one Dyna Girl. He said […]

I have a strange bond with Mego’s Action Jackson, I was slightly too young for him when he came out but thanks to my father’s business of buying closeouts, I had a small army of them during childhood. Action Jackson became a character actor in my backyard adventures becoming Sinestro, Klingons, Planet of the Apes […]
The Mego Wayne Foundation is like a Barbie Dreamhouse but it’s for Batman, so it’s completely awesome and not a doll house. For this entry, I can swipe all the photos from the MegoMuseum because I work there (mainly to steal stuff from the break room and use the photocopier). I never had the set […]
We return once again with an all new Pod Stallions and in celebration of the Man of Steel’s 80th birthday we thought we’d make him our topic (We haven’t done this one right? Cause it feels real familiar). So we dig right in and talk about George Reeves, Filmation, the Super Friends, Dean Cain, Superboy, […]
