Il museo delle Mego Action Figures (http://www.comicsblog.it/post/881/il-museo-delle-mego-action-figures)

Translated from Babelfish for maximum entertainment value.

Action figures of the divennero Mego many popular during the years ‘70 thanks to franchising strongly impact like the Planet of the Monkeys, the Wizard of Oz and Star Trek, without to forget but ours loved superheroes are Marvel that DC. The winning characteristic of the Mego was l’intercambiabilità of the witness and the possibility to personalize of the dressed ones, a combination that made the joy of collectors and children of every age.

Unfortunately for collectors and shareholders of the Mego, in 1976 the founder dell’azienda declined l’offerta to become the only dealership of the action figures of a new film of fantascienza in escape. The film in issue was Star Wars and this choice carried the Mego in little years to bankruptcy, in spite of the creation of giocattoli bases to you on King Kong, Moonrkaer, Wonder Woman, Hazzard and whichever thing capitasse they to shooting.

The Mego action figures still is searched from collectors and amatori that animate the virtual museum to they dedicated that you can find here. Moreover in recent times the Mego dedicated to the superheroes has found new life thanks to Twisted ToyFare Thater, a comic strip in which the action figures they come photographed in the situations more crowds that can come to you in mind. If incuriosisce you can read of the adventures to you in the volume published from Saldapress that found here. Curiosity: between the many franchising of the Mego that one of Tex marks you it.

:smiley1: That translation is hilarious.

But that blogger got his facts wrong. Deciding not to go after the Star Wars franchise (which wasn't done by the founder if I'm not mistaken) wasn't the sole reason for Mego's demise
