Hello All,
My name is Dan C. and I just joined. I am 39 years old and love toys more now than I did when I was a kid (My wife thinks I am nuts..LOL). Luckily she is very understanding. I collect many types of toys but two of my favorite lines are Micronauts and POTA figures. Unfortunatly I have none of my child hood mego toys but am slowly building my collection of each back up. I guess I just collect for the love of collecting, I recently won an auction with a very nice Zira, Dr. Zaius and Cornelis. All were complete except for Corneliuses Moccisins (If anyone has a set for sale let me know). I was probably more excited at getting these than I was when I got them as a kid. I put them on my computer desk so I can look at them and remember the fond memories of playing with them on my Apes Tree House (Wish I still had that too).
I also would like to collect the Mego Monsters and Super heroes. Even though the only super heroes I had as a kid were a Batman and a Robin, I always wanted more of the super heroes. I am not really into Packaged items, but would really like to collect loose figures that are in good shape.
I also wanted to say I really like this site. It is very informative and I look foreward to talking with other Mego fans. I don't know that much but I am sure I will learn as I go along....Like the difference between a T1 and T2 ??
Also one other question before I go, what is the thing with the Mego trading cards?? Are they made by this site?? The ones I have seen here look really nice, and probably make it easy for a newbie to see if the figure I am looking at, at a toy show or auction has the proper accessories....
Anyway, sorry for the long read, but I am excited to learn more and talk to some other Mego collectors.
Thanks,
Dan C.
