Do you guys store loose MEGOs in them? I bought a bunch recently and discovered that a few of my carded MEGOs don't fit due to the bubble placement.:cry:

They are really good for storing loose megos with repro card backs. I think the zoloworld clams might be better for storing the original carded figures...


I've been meaning to order a bunch of cards for the figures I have. But... somebody needed to have flowers and chocolate, and then go out to dinner and a movie....

I would LOVE to get some clamshells for my Treks, Apes, Dukes, S&H, Chips, etc., etc.

I've always been a loose collector, but have been recently been moving into boxed/carded megos.

Something I've taken to doing, is putting a boxed mego in the zoloworld clam, and then inserting a repro card for the character behind him. Don't ask me why, I just like having them together.

I have some from Zoloworld, these are great.
They are a little costly. But well worth it to me.

Any news Guys on the clamshells? sorry but no offense zorro i prefer castaway clams and they are a little more affordable. I need to finish putting my loose figs in clams and they would look funny using different ones.

Do these clamshells fit Emce boards or are the box dimensions different for CAT?

Alas no, only Vintage World's Greatest Hero size...
... but try Zoloworld. (http://www.zoloworld.com/html/protective_cases.html)

I'm curious why no one produces or markets clamshells for the Mego Kresge cards. Seems to me that would be a huge hit with collectors.

^ Maybe the customs market has something to do with it....besides the 26 Mego figures that used Kresge cards and the 5 AHI monsters are there others that could use the format? I don't get that many orders for custom Kresges for example but WGSH or POTA or Trek size are quite limitless...

DING DING DING.... give tha man a prize... I only know what it cost for our clam, and to tool up and produce a size that we would at best sell a few hundred of, doesn't seem feasable.

But hey just because it doesn't make sense for us, we've been wrong before, maybe someone will give it a shot.

Treks and POTA? could be a possibility in the future. We'd likely have to produce a full production figure and utilyze that size clam. That amortizes the cost of the tooling over a larger cost and makes future production (in smaller runs) possible.

I received about 70 Superclams with our sample order from china. I've emailed everyone I could think of that usualy buys them in quantity from us. I'm selling them in lots of 10 for $30 plus shipping. Email me at
gagag4toyz@sbcglobal.net or Pm if you're interested. Thanks

Are superclams the only WGSH-size clams?

And who makes those single-size clams for loose figs?

It'd be nice to have re-packaging/storage links on customego...
