Yep, I’m doing an awards show, except without the musical numbers (this is a good thing if you’ve met me), stilted humour and most of all, Billy Crystal. Just thought that instead of talking vintage, I’d point out my favourite nerdy retro treats of the last year. Movies Star Trek: Oh hot damn did I […]
I had an epic day last Wednesday, what I thought would be a boring trip to a storage unit turned out to be an amazing discovery! When I found the records and remnants of my father’s 1970s toy distribution business including these funky signs he used to use. I have been looking for one of […]
While the newspaper flyer has yet to be replaced in this digital age and I admit I still check the Christmas toys out, it’s just not as cool as when I was eight. That’s why I thought it would be fun to see the toys on sale at K Mart during this week thirty one […]
Card number 28 is dedicated to one of my personal favourite toy lines of my child hood, Mego’s Pocket Superheroes. Released in the late 1970s, these 3 3/4″ figures kept my love of Superheroes alive in a time when everything around was space orientated.For more on this killer line, check out the Mego Museum Pocket […]
October is the perfect time to highlight the cool custom Mego Monster figures from my pal Thomas in Belgium. He’s both made and collected 8″ versions of the classic Universal and Hammer monsters for his collection. I love his Christopher Lee Dracula figure.You can check out more, including his cool 1966 Batman customs here.Got a […]
Chris sent in the cool pic of his KIng Kong merchandise from the 1977 remake, all of this stuff was made by Mego and is really hard to find. I have to admit I love that Japanese Vinyl. Here’s a page about 1977 Mego King Kong Merchandise in case this whetted your appetite.
Seeing as today is the ten year anniversary of the supposed date that the moon blew out of orbit in Gerry Anderson’s 1975 television series “Space:1999” I thought it would be fun to look at some of the cool merchandise that came out during it’s two year run. Above is the trading card I made […]
Lili Ledy was Mexico’s premiere toy manufacturer and because of trade restrictions, all toys they sold had to be manufactured in Mexico. So many of the popular US lines were licensed and then produced by Lili Ledy resulting in wonderful variations that toy collectors hunt for to this day. 1977 was a killer year with […]
Trading Card #26 is Palitoy Space:1999, I did this card for the 2009 Megomeet convention back in June because timing didn’t allow a Megomuseum card for the event (as the card quality shows, it takes me a lot less time to do these). This UK exclusive toyline kind of changed my life, in that it […]
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen one of these Mego Muhammad Ali bop bags surface in collectors circles before. Is it just me or does Ali look cool standing next to Batman? Maybe DC teamed him up with the wrong guy. For more on Mego and Muhammad Ali, check out this page. BREAKING TOY GEEK […]
