\nToday’s update is a fun look at the amazing displays my pal Ray “Acroray” Miller put up at the Kruger Street Toy Museum<\/span><\/a> a few years back. <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nI was lucky enough to see it first hand (luckily we also held Mego Meet<\/span><\/a> there at the time) but for those of you who didn’t, this is an incredible experience to see Ray’s amazing, comprehensive collection.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nRay’s display comprises of vintage toys, concept art, catalogs, Japanese Microman<\/b> items, prototypes, related merchandise and the many post Mego iterations of the toys and characters. Check it out after the jump.<\/span><\/div>\n
