Contest: What in the (Mego) World?!

[imp]

In addition to my new Blog series devoted to cool toys (World's Greatest Toys! (http://www.worldsgreatesttoys.com/wgtBlog/?cat=11)), I am also working on a brand-new and very different series of Blogs.

… and this Blog Series is a contest! With prizes!

The contests are a riff on the old Dynamite Magazine puzzle-pages, called "What in the World?"

The difference is that these contests are firmly rooted in the Mego world.

Read the blog (http://www.worldsgreatesttoys.com/wgtBlog/), and… Good luck!

Contest submissions should be addressed to me directly: benjamin@worldsgreatesttoys.com (mailto:benjamin@worldsgreatesttoys.com)

I look forward to your answers!

So close!
Could've sworn that was Mr. Fantastic's box.
That's what I get for relying on faulty memory.

This went almost as quick as my Mego cards contest a couple weeks ago. You people are too smart! :biggrin:

Congrats Paul. I knew Batman's box and Torch's outfit, but Aquman and Cap really stumped me.

Fun contest Benjamin. I am kicking myself for missing Cap's star. It seems so obvious now, but Clark Kent's SI outfit seemed like as good a choice as any at the time.

That's the fun of it, isn't it? Once you see the answer, you think, "Uggggh! I shoulda gotten that one!"

Paul, the winner of the inaugural What in the (Mego) World?! contest wrote me a very nice Email, saying the objective of any good game/quiz design is to make it "difficult enough to challenge people but not so difficult that the player gets overly frustrated and quits."

Based on the answers I received, I think this initial quiz was a good balance. But trust me: These are going to get much harder!
