Mego Museum: 2021 Mego Corp Update Thread

If they couldn't get Lugosi's likeness, they should've at least thrown their hands up and just done a Carradine Dracula. Carradine's likeness is still distinct and can't be that expensive to get, and it would still technically be a Universal Dracula. Generic Not-Lugosi Dracula always looks like "just a guy" to me.

a few years back, I got a custom Brady Khan sculpt and dressed him in series accurate uniform.

I was always hoping for a new Mego release of Khan and here it is, an accurate spot on sculpt and of course correct TOS uniform.

Now the only problem is…will my local Walmart-Target have it? neither store has carried mego’s in my area for a long time, so I guess I shouldn’t hold my breath.

I agree, and it's not a Dracula we've gotten. I've posted elsewhere my desire for them to create a two-pack (even though I know the two-packs weren't the best sellers) of Billy the Kid Vs. Dracula. The film itself is in public domain, and it would be a great two-fer. Mego never made Billy the Kid when they produced their western line, plus it would give a new likeness of Dracula (and one that matches the look from the Universal House films. When we first got the "Broadway Dracula" as a way to offer Lugosi and then the Screaming Werewolf Chaney, I thought this film would allow the "end-around" to get Carradine's vampire in.

Anyone else seeing a bit of Seth McFarlane in that sculpt? I'm sure it's not intentional, but it's not like it's a stretch for Captain (Shazam) Marvel anyway. He kind of looks like the classic comic version.

Captain Marvel look like the promos of the original non-released version, except the cap is different.

This one was, and still is, very high on my list.

Hmpph, thanks Chris--can't unsee that now...


Good "Shazam!", though should have thicker brows. A must-buy for me.

This Spock figure is great! My favorite of the 14" figures so far!

[Earth 2 Chris]

I THOUGHT it looked like the original Mego Spock, but I wasn't sure it was the exact same sculpt. I'm glad they stuck with this. Mego Spock was iconic enough, but then Nimoy went and voiced him on Big Bang Theory, so keeping this head seems fitting, since it's more "Spock" than just about any piece of Star Trek ephemera.

I think Spock looks pretty neat, it should be a good seller.

Spock looks amazing!

I'm very excited for the Spock to come out, its cool how Mego is making even more show accurate, even with the science personal symbol on his insignia.
