    MegoCon Massive Micronauts exhibit!

    I uploaded my large image of the massive Micronauts display Dave Waugh and I assembled for MegoCon back in 2004 into my Flickr galleries. I don't think anyone has posted the large image, but it did find itself reprinted much smaller in ToyBox, if I recall correctly. Check it out, and be sure to click on the all-sizes option to access the larger version:

        Such an amazing display and collection.

        I think I spent the majority of that Saturday standing in that corridor with my face pressed against that glass!

        There were a number of items there that I had never seen in real life before.

        Awesome!

          Wow...and I thought you had alot at the meet last year...
          "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"

          In the Southeast Pacific, lies the sunken city of R'Leyh. There lies C'thulhu waits to return to our world with the other Great Old Ones. A hideous creature of enormous size and alien power, it waits for it's time to return patiently. For it has all the time in the world while it waits for the stars.

            Keep in mind that ALL the toys are Dave Waugh's! Only the artwork was mine. He came up in his van from MD and brought all that. I came in by train, so all I could bring were portfolio carriers for the art and a laptop.

              I wondered where all that nose-grease & fog on the glass were coming from!

                I remember watching Dave set that up and was stunned. It really seemed like there was every Micronaut-related product ever made! Dave is agreat and gracious guy, too. You're no slack, yourself, Ray. I've only met you twice (Mego Con and the second Mego Meet), but you've always added so much to my micro-knowledge.

                For those interestesed, I took a bunch of pics at Mego Con including Your great display. There here in the Museum's library-

                Here's one with Ray


                and Dave with Marty Abrams' son-

                  I must say that I really regret not getting any footage of that room and those toys when I video-taped the Megocon dvd. Still with all that stuff I'm not sure how I would'a handled it all.

                    Thanks for linking those! I'd like to get larger, original image files of those from you at some point.

                          Oh HOLY GOD! THAT'S INCREDIBLE! Now thanks to Ray I'm finding myself hunting down Micronauts I'm looking for as well. God I'll never have a dollar to my name, but I will have some GREAT peices!
