    Linking the classic and modern galleries will happen, that goes on Robyn's "honey do" list when she finds the time. I'll probably link some of the character specific pages as well but I'm not really looking forward to it, it's "Conan Wheel" level of boring.

    I do plan on improving the 2018 galleries when I get time to breath, that's not complaining BTW, it's just an incredibly busy time.
    Cool. Cool. And cool.

    PS Don't forget that Conan got his great strength from that wheel.

      Great analogy.

        Yeah but how did he get those abs?

              Our hobby has another player offering new product for fans of this scale and style. That's how I see it. Shorthand expressions will vary from person to person. Embrace this moment while we have it. Enjoy those end caps. That has been a fun experience to witness. Never thought I would witness that at this stage of my life. That carries it's own rewards.

                I am going to make a t-shirt with this post on it below a Mego logo.

                      … I just keep thinking about going to *the store* and buying an incredibly cool monsterific Drac for $15; FFS!, praise all things good in the Megoverse! If you take issue with such an experience, such a great toy, such a great Mego revival unlikely [for the numerous reasons sour net critics revel in, in a way that they feel entitled to have such a thing to b!tch about] in this age of madness… well, get some help.

                      Life if short, try to enjoy the ride. We have Mego back. Use whatever silly names you must, but be conscious that it's a special and temporary moment. <Go Mego!>

                        To me it's just Mego, but I can understand that some may want to call it Re-Mego, because of the bodies, original Mego bodies kind of make me want to say, 70's original, and these new updated version bodies as Re-Mego or 21st century Mego.

                        Basically just call it what you want to call it, it's your personal opinion and its neither right or wrong, hey we have mego back, let's enjoy.

                          To me, it's just Mego, but my wife and I refer to it as Mego Reborn if there is a need to make a distinction between Mego then and now.

                            In my mind, If Marty is at the helm it's Mego.

                              I think of ReMego as a movement ...the original Mego to me honestly includes the knockoffs like LJN and AHI and such. For me. And I realize I stand alone possibly...Mego was the whole shared universe of the 8 inch figures. Didn't matter what company name was on the card. ReMego really started for me with Paul's China reproes. Other companies came in too and joined the ReMego movement. Most notably CTVT/FTC. We have more figures now from the ReMego than we ever did in the 70s. You can parse and dissect it all you want but try to enjoy the moment.

                                As far as I'm concerned. With Marty Abrams being involved it's MEGO.
