Me, I love that stuff. Some of my favs.

Aurora Monster models were great that goes without saying. But when they added glow parts it just took them to another level awesomeness.

Mego Mad Monsters: Classic Mego figures made even better because they glowed in the dark. Sure the AHI figures were licensed, but they didn't glow in the dark. Mad Monsters the clear winner.

Now, Remco fixed that with their Mini Monsters and 9 inch Monsters. Because again, Universal Monsters plus glow equals pure awesomeness. The first series mini Monsters aren't nearly as cool as second series glow ones. Not even close. The Creature's entire body glowed in the dark. Beyond cool.

Masters of the Universe Scareglow wouldn't be nearly as cool if he didn't glow in the dark. Again, great figure made even better because he glowed in the dark. Having that evil little dude glowing at kids at night, scarring the crap out of them, pure genius by Mattel.

Glow plastic just makes toys better. It's a fact. Heck, I would even collect Mego Happy Days figures if they glowed in the dark. Sure Potsie sucks. But a glow Potsie, not nearly as much.

Then there are translucent toys.

Tron, what can be said, they were translucent and they glowed in the dark. I mean come on! It just doesn't get much cooler. Tomy could have made them translucent and that really would have been enough for them to be kick butt figures. But they went that extra mile and gave them glow in the dark weapons. Because that's just how toy companies rolled back then. Pure awesomeness.

Crystar by Remco. Wicked cool looking figures. Didn't even have the comic as a kid but knew right away when I first saw them they reaked of translucenty goodness. ]]> Classic Toys Werewolf http://megomuseum.com/community/showthread.php?t=33255 <![CDATA[If you've seen Twilight: New Moon...]]> http://megomuseum.com/community/showthread.php?t=33254&goto=newpost Sat, 21 Nov 2009 08:09:56 GMT Please PM me this one spoiler...

So I had to build a figure out of it.



"He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, and I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself"



I was inspired by the great looking Santa customs in the previous thread. But this one is really simple. Even I could do it! The ornament includes almost everything you need. Just carefully detach everything (the ornament is put together with hot glue) and reassemble on a Mego (or CTVT) fat body. The ornament's head is hollow, so if you are willing to sacrifice an old unloved head (goodbye, CTVT Fonzie...) you can turn it into Santa's neck plug. Throw in some black boots and you are set. ]]> Finished Customs sprytel http://megomuseum.com/community/showthread.php?t=33252 in need of a pair of GI-JOE boots http://megomuseum.com/community/showthread.php?t=33251&goto=newpost Sat, 21 Nov 2009 05:41:41 GMT Can anyone help out a poor AIR ADVENTURER who lost his boots?

Card number 28 is dedicated to one of my personal favourite toy lines of my child hood, Mego's Pocket Superheroes. Released in the late 1970s, these 3 3/4" figures kept my love of Superheroes alive in a time when everything around was space orientated.

One is Goliath in the standard Icon size accompanied by a smaller Secret Wars Iron Man. Cost at this store - $26.99. The other one was an Icon size Skrull with a Secret Wars Cap - Looks like the Bucky Cap version. Also $26.99. Here's a review with pics in case you were wondering what they looked like.

Where: Target or as I like to call it TarJay. :grin: The Christmas area to be more specific. Where all of the ornaments and Christmas trees and goodies are all at.

What: (Finally! - What you are really wanting to know) :smiley1:

Funko Star Wars Christmas bobble heads featuring Yoda, Darth Vader, C-3P0 and Jawa. I bought 3 out of the 4. The Jawa seemed to be missing. Probably a short pack no doubt. These were like $6.00 plus tax and they are pretty neat looking. (pictures coming soon)

Any body else seen these yet?

Also.....

In the same area I found a "large" Yoda with light up light saber. Ok looking...I passed on this one even know there was only one on the shelf.

Also...

Star Wars talking action figure displays. Featuring - Darth Vader, Storm Trooper and Chewbacca. Darth Vader and Storm Trooper looked pretty good. Chewbacca on the other hand looked like his scultp was ran through a car wash. ???? All three with different sayings when you press the button. I passed on these as well.
