We’re thrilled to be back recording PodStallions after some truly turbulent times. Today’s show is all about our mutual love for the Monkee’s, although neither of us were alive for the show’s original run we were both hooked on reruns and records during the middle 1970s. We kick off the show playing catch up and […]
As I prepare for this week’s Mego Meet Toy Show this weekend, I thought it would be cool to showcase this awesome catalog from the United Kingdom. Pedigree Toys began distributed the Mego Toy Lines in the late 1970s and did a knock out job with the 12″ Superheroes, more pages after the jump! I […]
Sorry for the long delay in shows but we’re back with a vengeance! Our latest show is all about one of our favourite subjects Mego Action Figures! We’re joined by fellow Mego enthusiast and best selling author Art Baltazar to talk about the world’s greatest toy company and next week’s up coming Aw Yeah Mego Meet Toy […]
Our website turns 10 this month so we begin by discussing it’s origins and why it came to be. With the topic already being nostalgia, we thought it would be fun to talk about the top ten thing we miss about the 1970s. This is not a “things were better in our day” type discussion […]
This page will be my happy place all day.
For our 40th episode we are joined by actor/comedian Chris Tallman (@MrChristallman on twitter) for a celebration of the Interchangeable World of the Micronauts, the classic toy line from Mego that is about to get a major motion picture and new comic book series this year. The discussion begins with the toy line’s Japanese origins, it’s halcyon […]
Today’s update is a fun look at the amazing displays my pal Ray “Acroray” Miller put up at the Kruger Street Toy Museum a few years back. I was lucky enough to see it first hand (luckily we also held Mego Meet there at the time) but for those of you who didn’t, this is […]
This ad is from France where then distributor “Pin Pin Toys” had good fortune with the Micronauts line, it truly was an international affair with the line enjoying good sales in Canada, the UK, German, Greece and especially Italy. This Friday our new podcast is all about the Interchangeable world of the Micronauts.
Today we feature the original toy trade catalog given to buyers when Mego launched the Micronauts in February of 1977. It’s a wonderful and rarely seen piece, more after the jump. Micronauts really was an ambitious and risky gamble for Mego, it’s a sprawling toy line with aggressive TV advertising. Luckily kids were drawn to […]
In honour of this Friday’s new podcast episode (which is about Micronauts in case you were wondering) I plan to theme this week around Mego’s memorable toy line. Above is a Christmas catalog spread from 1979, it’s one of 3 pages that year. ’79 was truly my big year with the line and one where […]
