    Mego article on Marvel.com!

    Brian and Scott supplied all the photos for this, and it turned out really nice! At the end, they thank us (not sure why they mentioned me, since I didn't actually do anything but respond to their e-mail!) and included a link to the Museum.

    Here's the article:

      "boxes with Day-Glo colors so bright they burn holes in the young child's retinas..."

      Terrific article! So many great lines --

      "He has found manna in the wasted desert of his life...The child is seven years old and he is finally complete."

      "From that point on, there was no stopping Mego, and the parade of new Marvel action figures was not only imaginative, it was downright kick-."

          great pictures! I envy those who can take pics of toys like that. It aint easy, I know I've been taking pics of my toys for some time and it's hard to get pics like that.

            That's a pretty sweet looking header they have for that article.

              Excellent article. It's nice to see the license holder acknowledge the history. Great contributions picture wise as well. Way to spread the love guys.

                Very cool. If you notice, the Thing, Torch and Hulk pictures are the original shots from the trading cards, I gave them a choice and they went without the Mego Museum artwork, not surprisingly.

                      Very cool. I never knew that an employees kid gave them the idea to do spidy, the most popular figure.

                        That is a really great article! Kids today will never know the thrill of the toy aisle in the 70s!

                          Very Nice. Now if Marvel would redo the 8 inch line


                          Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?

                            it's weirdly validating to see the Marvel Comics logo on a photo of your collection. The guys at Marvel are awesome and I'm really excited to see such things happen.
