Enough with the teasing! Here he is! This recently discovered ad from a 1973 issue of Captain America proves that our attempts to invent time travel have succeeded! Mego Museum scientists have sent the Super Collector back in time to discover the secrets
of Mego history and bring back rare artifacts in his Museum playset carrying case.

People have often said that visiting the Mego Museum is like taking a trip back in time. But now it can be said once and for all: The Mego Museum IS a time machine!https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9116082-6067138908002752500?l=www.megomuseum.com%2Fblog%2F megoblog.html

That's awesome. :smiley1:

[megoapesnut]

priceless

[bizzaro megomauler]

Still on the floor laughing about the "Fruit Pies" comment.

[Wee67]

Perfect- Love his Mego hero boots. Are they factory produced or a painted pair of AJ fishing boots?

AND yes, fruit pies were solving awkward and difficult situations long before Mentos took over that task.

[The Toyroom]

Scott hit all the right notes with that one....Absolute Perfection!

[alex]

LOL, very well thought out

[Mikey]

Very-VERY Neat !!!

[Meule]

That is absolutely fabulous, I love it.
Here's a thought for the MegoMeet exclusive: why not make custom Super Collectors? :wink_y: I'd definitely be in for one :yes:

In a solid box!!

[Meule]

In a solid box!!

I'm torn on that. Sure, it'd fit right in with this story, but you wouldn't be able to see him then

[MegoScott]

Personally, I'd want him in a solid box on a Type1 with a silkscreened suit, then in a window on a Type2 with a sewn suit. But that's my fantasy. Customizers start your engines!

So how's that for a build up? My Hostess thread was the start of it. I really enjoyed trying to make this have the same rhythm as the old ads while getting across the basic facts of the character and idea.

And this may be the first character ever created who's design actually matches Mego's boots! I'm very proud of that. This is the most DRAWING I've done in a long time! After taking all those action figure pictures for so long I was afraid I'd forgotten how to draw a super hero.

[EMCE Hammer]

Only problem with that is the MM figures are usually done in quantities of 50. I'm thinking we'll need hundreds of this guy!

[The Kryptonite Kid]

Shear freakin' genius man, I love it!! I demand further adventures of the Super Collector :wink_y:

[Surfsup]

Pure brilliance Scott; that ad parody was bang on! I loved the line about the Zorro at the end. Great artwork too!

[TEXASFETT]

Now thats what I'm talking about!!!

[rchatlin]

Spectacular, Scott, just wonderful.

That's going to keep me smiling all day long.

[HardyGirl]

OMG! That was really cool! If you made enough of them, you could make a mini comic for museum members! More Super Collector Adventures! :baby02:

[Brown Bear]

I love it! Very well done.

[sprytel]

This was awesome... especially the, "can't I have fruit pies instead?" :smiley1:

[TCM Hitchhiker]

That store owner is so going to throw those MM cards up on eBay.

[Meule]

I hope you're right, but I've found that a lot of people, when it's time to pay up, suddenly aren't that interested anymore :please_y:

[mitchedwards]

Absolutely great.

Will the time traveler have a arch enemy Ebay Man, who travels back in time to sell mint megos on E-bay?

[EMCE Hammer]

Scalpatron

[MegoScott]

^^ It certainly seems like this technology could fall into the wrong hands. SC, he only uses the playset for historical research and non-profit work (because as we all know, the Museum never makes a frikking dime! :smiley1:)

[UnderdogDJLSW]

Excellent, Scott!
"Hmmm...SuperCollector looks a bit like Brick Mantooth. I wonder......:silly:

[Marvelmania]

I would gladly follow the adventures of Super Collector!

[Meule]

Scalpatron

Great name, I wonder what he looks like. Scott? :wink_y: :grin:

[vulcan2074]

That is so Groovy. I Love it. Long live The Museum :beaming1:
Sammy

[ScottA]

This is beyond cool.

[highquality]

That's just the coolest thing ever.

[wilbs518]

Great stuff!

[mego73]

It's a home run Scott :)

[Meule]

So, do we have to make our Super Collector ourselves or will there be a custom made for us to buy? With you making him at least they'll all look the same

[mego73]

The TV Shazam head I used (A Laurie Halbritter head, where I added hair and a couple more details) might be a good Super Collector head. Picture is big so click to see:

[Mego Milk]

You should make the Mego Collector the exclusive custom figure for Mego Meet!

[Meule]

That's what I said. See, it's a good idea :grin:

[MegoScott]

The Shazam head is a good one. I wondered about using the POTA Astronaut, too. Sideburns are a little heavier.

[trekman101]

Very nice work Scott :wink_y:

[Meule]

BTW, I love the new forum header pic

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

Excellent. I think the new Brick Mantooth head would make a great base for him. I would love a Supercollector figure.
