King Kong VS Alien

John, a frequent contributor of awesome things sent in this fabulous vintage shot of him holding two movie heavyweights, namely a Mego King Kong and a Kenner Alien. Happy times! Look for more vintage goodness from John in the coming weeks, as well if you have some vintage toy love to share drop me a […]

Steve’s pals

Steve sent in this awesome shot of vintage toy love, showcasing his “toy collection” so to speak. That’s a good group he’s got there, Mego Hulk, Bigfoot, Steve Austin, Pulsar (awesome team up) and what I think is a Mego Shazam. To be honest, I really wish I had a similiar photo of my toys […]

Speaking of home made Star Wars

After declaring my love for home made Star Wars appearances last week, Kip sent in this awesome mural from his eighth grade graduation where the theme was “May the force be with you always”. While it’s not a mall appearance, it is just a special bit of magic isn’t it? This is Franklin public school in […]

Me and Spidey : Easter ’76

I’m too full of chocolate and coffee to do anything like Colouring Book Theatre today but I thought I’d share this fun shot of me and Mego Spider-Man (who does not have a great view) on Easter morning, I’m guessing in 1976. I am assuming that there was some sort if law that children had […]

Even More Vintage Toy Store Pictures

I’m always happy when I have enough of these images to fill another page. In our sixth installment we visit several toy stores on Halloween (kind of fitting). See a store visit by a giant MonChichi in 1983 and check out the many images from the video game explosion of the early eighties chockfull of […]

They Still Stand

Props to Myspace pal “The Comatose Boy” for these amazing pictures from Grand Junction Colorado where the remanants of an old school rocket park can be found. THe top of the rocket is now closed to the public, but tell me that isn’t cool. An old school Saucer too, man finding this is gold! Click […]

Shogun Warriors Under the Tree

Got a great couple of vintage images this week from Dan Brackett, who here is opening up his Shogun Warriors Mazinga (man that box looks sweet) and behind him is a Bat-Away set. Dan says he managed to replace the Bat-Away on Ebay for under $10 but no such luck on Mazinga… Want to see […]

Back in Day Goodness

Some more vintage photos from Wes Booth, this one is rather timely, it’s Wes opening up a Sam Cobra from the Marx Johnny west line. You’ll also notice a Superfriends Colouring Book that we reviewed here at the bottom right. Not only did Wes get a Best of the West Horse but I see the […]

More Back in the Day Toy Shots

Another great batch of photos this week, starting with Chris Franklin, a fellow Megomuseum forum pal proudly displaying his Remco Energized Superheroes along with his 12″ Mego Spidey. Here is a killer shot of Betsy opening an Evel Knievel set. According to Betsy her Evel was best friends with Mego Batman, they even picked up […]

More Back in the Day Shots

Tom Bligh proudly shows off his Maskatron figure, man, that was one fun toy. A young Rob Kelly admires his Uncle Fred’s can collection. I used to make a punch with Tahitian Treat and Rum back in college that tasted just like budget cough syrup. Rob’s T shirt suggests a Batman fan but now he’s […]
