Another Foreign Carded Piece Found!




A very cool little find today, to my knowledge the first sighting of Super Eroi Tascabili Superman card. Now if Spider-man and Hulk would only show their faces.


Random Babble

Folks are discussing Who is 100% going to MegoMeet? What a good group thus far!

I'm shamelessly plugging
My carded WGSH auctions in Auction buzz. I need the money to buy more toys! Won't you please help? ;)

The Comic Book Forum seems aghast at the
Return of Rob Liefeld to the comic World.

Alot of folks in General Buzz seem very pleased with the announcement that

Ad Archive Update! Licensing 1982


Another one for the month of updates is this rare 1982
Article on Licensing in the toy industry
that gives an interesting perspective on Mego.

Article relating to Mego's Downfall

This week Brian is focusing on Mego's troubles in the 1980's with a couple of articles that couldn't be farther than the jubilent toyfair pieces of the 1970's.

Today, we find the struggling Mego hooking up with PAC Packaging, something we've explored on the Museum before.
