    Then and now. What Megos did/do you have?

    This is one is going to be geared mostly to the generation of people that grew up playing with Megos. They were a big part of my childhood play time growing up and times I cerish. IMHO none of todays toys hold a candle to how Megos did in my day. I'm sure kids now a days think differntly and think Megos are cheesy, but they still rock to me now!!

    We didn't have ton of money growing up as kids and my mom hardley ever got me much from any one particular line of toys, if I got one figure or accessory from any particular toy line it was alot. For some reason she must have liked the Mego line and got me a bunch.

    Then...
    Batman
    Robin
    Captain America
    DR. Zaius
    Ursus
    Three soldier apes, (lizard skin with gloves, regular no gloves, regular with gloves)

    Well, my then list is really short, since I only had Lainie and 2 black Action Jacksons. However now is slightly longer:

    5 Action Jacksons (black guy, dark hair bearded, dark hair clean face, red hair bearded, red hair clean face)
    POTA (Burke, Virdon, 2 Ziras, Galen w/ green ears, Corneilius, Soildier Ape plain, Ursus, Urko)
    Star Trek (whole bridge crew, Cheron, Klingon, 1 custom alien I call Tamar)
    Superman (came naked, dressed in AJ Jungle Safari)
    Tarzan (who goes w/ above figure nicely)
    Lainie (she's physically and mechnically broken, one day I'll get her fixed)
    Type 2 generic guys from Doc Mego

    'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
    Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
    If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

      I went through a couple Batman's, Robin's, Superman's and Spidey's. I can't recall if I had any other WGSH's though. I had Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Klingon, as well as almost all of the Apes. Honorable mention goes to LJN's SWAT line which at the time was the same toyline in my mind.

                        Riddler
                        Catwoman(I think,probably did though because I was a huge Batfan back then)

                          Fun Thread...

                          As a kid, I had...

                          Spider-Man (I had him 3 different times)
                          POTA Astronaut (a Christmas present)
                          Tarzan (a hand me down from my older brother)
                          Batman
                          Robin
                          Catwoman

                          I have alot of Megos now. None of them are complete. Far from it. I've spent alot of time collecting the figures, now I need to complete them. Plus I need two of all of them. But that's another topic.

                          Right now I have...

                          Grandma Walton
                          John Boy Walton

                          I didn't realize I had so many. I need to get busy completing these guys! I have to also mention that I only collect loose figures. The desire to rip open toys makes it impossible for me to own any packaged Megos. I'd end up opening them.
