    End of the Year Haul Reports: Mego 2018 and You

    So how did your Mego '18 frenzy go? Me, I just received the last two had to have 'ems on my list yesterday afternoon, so other than a couple that I might like for simple customs, and the ever-present chance that I'll jump off the fence when it comes to Jimi, I believe that I'm done until next year.

    I imagine that I grabbed more dollies than some folks, but a whole lot less than many others, heh. I'm not a MOC guy, so almost no doubling up, and I guess I'm a little thankful that the tallish supertypes ended up not being my bag.

    Anyway...

    Made a list of my wholly typical choices and the mostly bland paths I took to bring them into the family:

    CLASSIC:
    Action Jackson -- WEBSITE

    MONSTERS
    Dracula -- GIFT from an OLD FRIEND
    Frankenstein -- WEBSITE
    Screaming Werewolf -- FACEBOOK (cost+ship method)

    STAR TREK:
    Chekov -- WEBSITE
    Lt. Sulu -- WEBSITE
    Mirror Universe Kirk & Spock (2-pack) -- WEBSITE
    Gorn -- WEBSITE
    Mr. Spock -- WEBSITE
    Capt. Kirk -- WEBSITE
    Romulan Commander -- MEGO MUSEUM TRADE!
    Mirror Universe Sulu & Uhuhra (2-pack) -- STORE + MAIL via OLD FRIEND

    WIZARD of OZ:
    Dorothy & Wicked Witch (2-pack) -- STORE (marked way down!)
    Cowardly Lion -- GIFT from MUSEUM MEMBER!

    Dupes for lazy customs:
    Star Trek - Lt. Sulu -- WEBSITE
    Action Jackson -- WEBSITE
    Married With Children - Al Bundy -- WEBSITE

    I plan on grabbing Richie, too - I hear he makes a mean Lt. Riley - but I'm in no rush.

    Samantha still lives here, I impulse bought her on one of my few peg-warmer tours, but I think I'll end up donating her to a toy drive of some sort. Great looking doll, though.

    Ended up fostering quite a few more, wack-a-mole saves to help people out, and played intentional catch and release with the KISS dolls: childhood associations made it so that I wanted to see them up close; adulthood interest made it so that I inevitably decided to pass them on to real fans.

    All told I'm blessed with nearly a third of the toys that Phoenix Mego offered up this year; 61 dolls that none of us ever expected to come into being. Who would have believed it possible?


    I'm relieved and thankfully to have been able to catch up, but I can't wait until next year!

      Bought one of two Action Jacksons and Draculas in stores.

      Chekhov, Sulu, Fonzie, Mirror Kirk and Spock, I Dream of Jeannie, Mirror Sulu and Uhura, Spock, Green shirt Kirk, and Frankenstein all purchased from Target.com

      Would have bought more in stores, but you know, it’s Target, so... yeah.

        Wave 1
        14 inch
        Wonder WOman and Zod via Target online
        Batman and Harley from the Target in Huber Heights

        8 inch
        Mirror Mirror 2 pack-Target website
        I Dream of Jeannie for custom fodder from Target in Beavercreek

        Chekov from Target website
        Bela Dracula from Target website
        Piper for custom fodder from Target website
        Action Jackson for custom fodder from Target Huber Heights
        Peg Bundy for custom fodder from Target Huber Heights
        Kelly Garrett for custom fodder from Target Huber Heights

        Wave 2
        14 inch
        Poison Ivy, Green Lantern, Superman, and Batgirl from Target website

        8 inch
        Frankenstein 2 at different times from Target website
        Gorn 2 in initial order from Target website (1 for custom fodder)
        Spock from Target website
        Samantha from Bewitched from Target Huber Heights

        Wave 3

        still trying to get a Kirk and make certain of the werewolf, but other than that unless I decide to get more custom fodder or get the other DC 14 inch from wave 3, I am done until wave 4 becomes available.

            With so many of us having completed (and exceeded) our quests during the past few days, it would be great to get a few more reports on the whats and hows of your Mego '18 recruits.

                      I don't think I bought any in store. my brother did snag Frankenstein and Lion for me at the store though, so I guess that counts

                      but I got

                        I still have not seen Greg, Phoebe, Spock, Marcia, Prue, Greg, Demon, Mirror/Mirror 2-pack or Bewitched 2-pack in the store.

                        Everything else I found in store. I do have a Greg and Demon coming from a friend.
