    The Results are in, the envelope please...

    Evaluating the submissions were the project coordinators myself, Brian Heiler, Dave McCormick. Special Museum Member panelists were Rob Chatlin and Scott Arendsen. Special Guest panelists were former Mego employees Harvey Zelman and Tory Mucaro. We are thankful for our guest panelists participation. I will post more of the commentary shortly as well as the plan for putting the catalog together.

    Because of the late date, I think this is best: If your work is on this list and you are coming to Mego Meet, please bring your entries along for the display and to photograph. If you are not, we can make arrangements to photograph them later or work with your own photography or whatever we need to do. If you can still get them to Dave in time, though, that'd be great, since we will be displaying them as a group at the Meet.

    The method:
    Each of the 7 panelists was asked to review the submissions and list their 15 favorite entries. Entries getting 2 votes and more will be included in the final catalog.

    Here are comments from the two Mego employees:

    Tory Mucaro----

    Okay, I got a chance to review the entries and I must say I was very
    impressed. There are some very talented folks out there keeping the
    Mego dream alive. All those that participated should be congratulated for a
    wonderful effort. After careful consideration, here are my top fifteen
    picks in no particular order:

    1. Superboy by Hulk - Just beautiful executions and great concept, what
    Superman enthusiast wouldn't want one?

    2. Superman Phone Booth by Megoscott - Great idea and execution, very
    believable.

    3. Fortress of Solitude by Toyroom - Like the Phone Booth very
    believable.

    4. World of Batman by Megoscott - Another great playset idea!

    5. Batman 1966 by Meule - Being a huge fan of the old TV series, I
    would
    have purchased every one! And the execution on these is flawless.

    6. TV Hulk by The Sentry - One Mego definitely should have done.

    7. Star Trek Wave 4 by Captain Dunsel - A natural line extension,
    beautifully executed, great likenesses!

    8. Star Trek Vulcan Explorer by Megoscott - Damn cool and great play
    value, seems Mego missed the boat by not producing it.

    9. Star Wars by Dave Mc - If only! As we all know, Mego dropped the
    ball
    big time with this, but these look great, could have easily passed for
    production pieces.

    10. R2D-2XL by Starbuk - And if Mego wasn't asleep at the switch and
    got
    the Star Wars license this would have been a natural. Great idea!

    11. Buck Rogers 8" Figures by Mefiboschet - Would have made much more
    sense than the 12" line. Nice work scaling them down!

    12. Wizard of Oz by Mikeoz - Perfect line extension and beautifully
    done!

    13. Kiss 8" by Boss - Not sure why Mego didn't do these, but they look
    great and would have sold well I think.

    14. Universal Monsters by Meule - Another "Why didn't they do them"
    concept. Love the packaging.

    15. Scooby Doo by Megospidey - This most certainly would have been a
    big
    seller, might have even kept the company going!

    Again, all of the entries were very cool, and I feel privileged to have
    had the opportunity to see them and give my opinion, for what it's
    worth.

    Thanks.
    Tory

    Mr Zelman was short and to the point in his responses.


    His general thinking was this: When people took the existing old Mego figures and just changed the outfit, I do not look at that as being creative.

    When I look at something and see a new outfit, Face painting or concept, that means that a lot of thought and effort went into doing the project.

              Well done everyone.
              I have loved seeing this project grow...worth the price of admission alone
              I'd love to see the finished pictures.
              To all the talanted people that have worked hard on this labour of love
              I'd like to thank you all for the childhood wishes that have almost come true.

                        The work and creativity really is wonderful and inspiring. Those of you receiving kudos from former Mego employees must be positively thrilled.

                        The props are well deserved.

                            Somebody at Mego thinks I have good ideas.

                            That'll show everyone, when they said, "Shut Up Heath".
