Ernie Production Mold from Sesame Street (sponsored link) —

These are unique pieces of toy history and I’ve own a couple of them in my time. The trouble is, they look like this and are usually heavy to ship. Neat though.

Zee Toys Metal Man Sears Catalog Gift Set (sponsored Link)

Oh boy do I want this set, I’ve tried to get it half a dozen times in my 29-year (uck!) history on eBay. This one tasks me with its beauty and use of colour but it’s not a good time. BTW the backdrop is just from the saucer box.

Spider-Man Confessions of a Rock Superhero Record Store Display – Sponsored link

As much of a Spider-Man guy that I am, I don’t think I’ve ever listened to this. I’ve always figured if it was really good, I’d know about it.

Fame The Beach Towel based on the TV series “Fame” based on the movie “Fame” -(sponsored link)

Ever since I found that colouring book at Zolocon, I’ve been surprised that Fame (a show I will admit I am mostly apathetic about) has so much merchandise. I sure hope there is a “Paperchase” beach Towel with a big John Houseman on it. That would be cool.

Ceramic Ninja Music Box from Japan (sponsored link)-

Wow, does my sitting room feel naked without this.

Smutty “Don’t Squeeze the Charmin” iron-on Tee shirt (Sponsored Link)

These were the kinds of t-shirts that would make you and your friends giggle, flipping through those iron-on books. I miss those silly mall kiosks!  I want to see a t-shirt made before me again. 

Whacky Packages Patch (sponsored link)–
Another fun tongue twister for your collection. I always “just missed” Whacky Packs at stores and it’s all i think about when I see these.

Dempsey and Makepeace action figure set (sponsored link)

I used to watch this UK action show on CHCH as a teen; I think it was syndicated. In the UK, the show was popular enough to warrant some O-Ring figures via Rainbow Toys. These kinds of discoveries, the foreign market exclusives, are one of the main reasons I got into toy collecting in the first place.

Vintage Japanese Microman Biotron vinyl (sponsored link) –

This has been on my watchlist for the week. I don’t own an actual biotron, but I sure would like this smaller version. I think I’m going to wait for a loose one but….someday I will hold this.

AHI Creature from the Black Lagoon water gun (Sponsored link)—
Be still my beating heart….

This is an item that I would love to own but likely will not unless I find one cheap or  if that “Money Tree” I planted in 1977 finally springs up. AHI made a series of Rack Toy Squirt guns like this. I’m lucky enough to own the Frankenstein (my #1 monster) and the Planet of the Apes characters, but there aren’t as many of these as there is demand.

GI Joe Skydive to Danger (sponsored link)

When I turned six, my grandmother let me tag along with her to Eatons (RIP) to pick out one thing for my birthday. She left me in the toy aisle for probably a half an hour while she went to the credit department. It is one of my fondest childhood memories, looking through all those crazy GI Joe, Big Jim and Mego Superhero packages, just leisurely drinking it all in. I saw some crazy stuff, like Cowboy outfits for Joe that I would later find out were exclusive to Canada. Anyway, I chose this, which, to me, is the coolest Joe set ever. You’ve got a parachute and a giant spider. It still sets my brain afire.

Brains in a Bag (sponsored link) 

My friend Courtney sent this to me and it’s something that would have been sold in “Over our Heads” in those later seasons of “Facts of Life” that have George Clooney.

Pssssst…..My wife is revisiting this series for the 100th time, please, I can’t take any more of Beverly Anne…

Microman Lady Command figure (sponsored Link) 

Thanks to the Super 7 Micronauts figures, I’ve been in a real Micronaut mood lately. This is a Micronaut Mego didn’t bring to the states, the female version of the Pharoid instead, her time chamber is the Statue of Liberty. I wouldn’t have bought this at ten but OMG I’ll take one now.  The above is a vintage one, but reproductions are cheap and abundant. 

Popeye the movie Colorforms (sponsored link)

I’ve probably said this before, but I unabashedly love this movie, I know it’s flawed, and its production involved mountains of Cocaine (never tried), but I was ten when I saw it at the Oshawa Center. Call it my personal  “Goonies,” ok? However, I’m aware it’s not for everyone. I like Harry Nilsson’s music, adore Shelly Duvall, and love comedic violence. Plus, Donald Moffat was REM on “Logan’s Run.” That’s all I got.

Whenever I mention colorforms, I also like to say that toy designer Mel Birnkrant shares all his knowledge. He probably has an anecdote about this set if you ask him on the book face, I wish more toy people were like Mel.

Cool as hell Spider-Man shirt from the 1970s (sponsored link) —

This kid’s shirt blows my mind, mainly for the appearance of (weirdly drawn) Man-Wolf! I was really drawn to these types of monster characters as a kid (Man-Bat fans represent!) so seeing them on merch always makes me smile.

Hanna Barbara Sticker Album from 1971 (eBay Affiliate Link)

Oh man, as much as I watched the Flinstones every day at noon (CFTO Baby!), my heart will always belong to Birdman and the Galaxy Trio which actually show up in this thorough little book!

 

Vampirella Door Poster (eBay Affiliate Link) –

I have the weirdest relationship with the character. I owned one of her magazines for a single day until I sold it for less than I paid to a very beautiful woman who wanted to create an outfit for herself. I saw the terrible movie (and I’m a huge Jim Wynorski fan) and that’s about it. However, if Mego released a Vampirella doll tomorrow, I’d take ten!

There is something so iconic and fun about the character’s design. Also, we need more female figures in 8″ scale….

 

MicroMan Knock Off Space Tank (eBay Affiliate Link) —

I miss the era of the early 80s Transformer Knock-Off boom. My first gig was selling these imports as “Transformers” in a dodgy kiosk at the Whitby Mall that was just gone one day. I really want this, but I will likely forget when it ends.

 

 

Remco I Dream of Jeannie doll (eBay Affiliate Link) —

It’s interesting to not how many of my beloved childhood television shows were syndicated shows cancelled before I was born. Remco’s Jeannie came out in 1976 and I think that was at three years after the cartoon. Afternoon syndication was a gold mine, I’m surprised there weren’t Monkees action figures.

Beneath the Planet of the Apes Promotional Newspaper (eBay Affiliate Link) —

20th Century Fox used to release these wonderful faux newspapers for the Apes Sequels. I put the one for Conquest (my favourite Apes film) on the site a ways back. These are campy fun and a style of marketing we’ll never see again, unless the Apes take over*……

*If the Apes do in fact, take over, I will turn you all in on a dime! Do not trust me….

 

 

Mego Meet 2024 will be hosted this August 17-18 at Zolo-Con. We’ll have our own dealer area, panels, customs contests for the kids and late night swap meets in the Mego Suite.

Hey,we’re making collectible pins now! They’re super niche! 

Do you miss toy collector magazines?

That’s why we created Toy-Ventures magazine, an old-school print publication dedicated to vintage toys from the 1960s to the 1990s. Each issue is packed with never before seen images and information written by some of the top collectors. We’ve got 8 issues and climbing; please check our page here or visit our store.

 

The Mego Museum News has rebranded into the Super Collector Newsletter! Encompassing more from sites like PlaidStallions and more. Check it out even if you don’t collect Mego figures.

Our long running Pod Cast, Pod Stallions is now available on Spotify.

 

The PlaidStallions Polyester Pals have arrived and come in green and orange. Be the first kid in the sandbox with our Podcast mascots!

 

 

Our latest book is “Knock-Offs: Totally Unauthorized Action Figures” a love letter to cheeky copyright-infringing toys. You can get this new book via the PlaidStallions Shop, On Amazon (Affiliate Link) or eBay (eBay Link)
