I recently stumbled across this fantastic issue of Japanese Starlog, which was a lot like the US version, except its graphic design was way more exciting.<\/strong>
\nThis particular issue has a feature on all the imported Superhero toys from the US you can buy. So the best way to describe it is like a Heroes World catalogue but from the future. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Mego Superheroes in Japanese Starlog<\/p><\/div>\n

This page makes me weak\u00a0in the knees and it’s not just the gem-mint carded Mego Riddler<\/a> on display. Those Mego Comic Action Heroes’ deluxe sets with the Batmobile and Spider-Car are big favourites of mine. I also don’t have that AHI parachuting Superman<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This lovely ad uses the dreaded “D” word; everybody run! As a kid, I did chicken out of buying a Mego Catwoman<\/a> because I feared my friends seeing a girl doll. I regret that behaviour to this day. I use the term “Man-Dolls” with sarcastic pride, and so should you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Toy-Ventures<\/a><\/p>\n

Toy-Ventures and PlaidStallions present a new line of limited-edition collector pins<\/a>: <\/strong>Monsters, Knock-Off action figures and Brick Mantooth.<\/p>\n

This page contains many happy memories, especially the Mego Spider-Car<\/a>, Corgi Jrs and those awesome 12″ Mego Superheroes<\/a>, see below for my video on the 12″ Superman range.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
