    Passive collector here...

    Almost 55...and December baby here. I was around to collect Captain Action in the late 60s and obviously was a Mego kid for several years..a few of my old Megos still survive!


    I've been watching all of the new Mego news and picked up a 14" Batman when they first came out...he's still in the package.
    Honestly I am not blown over on the quality and choice of characters chosen....or the "marketing"

    Just found out about the sale today...and I think the $14.99 sale is about right for these 14" characters.
    Picked up Superman, Green Lantern, Zod, Batgirl and Wonder Woman.
    The end cap is gone and they have a very small section in the aisle here in Greece, NY.

    Not too sure on the longevity of the line...but it's nice to have the Mego name alive for a while!

        And a former Western New Yorker here too. Originally from Albion, NY, about half way between Rochester and Buffalo. And to keep this Mego related, I still have my original 8 Megos purchased by my mom in little toy stores in Medina and Batavia.

          which 8 original characters do you still have? I still have my 7 original figures. I'll probably post them here in a picture later today.

            Batavia, NY. Middle Western New York, like rykerw1701. Native Buffalonian though.
