Canadian Action Jackson

[palitoy]

Had a wonderful visit to Parkdale Novelty (former Canadian distributor of Mego) for their 75th birthday bash. I got shown some items "from the rafters" including this fantastic attempt to sell overstock AJ outfits probably in the 1990s? More photos to come, it was a real treat.

Wow! So cool. So were those put out for sale?

Glad you had a good time. Looking forward to more pics!

I don't think so but nobody is certain, it was the brainchild of Morris Kotzer and he's since passed. I was kind of pleased that next to it was a boxed Brick Mantooth.

It actually looks like it just has a sticker on an Action Jackson box.

Did you get to take any Mego treasures home with you from this event?

No, their kindness started me on this journey back in the 1980s, although I have an absolutely wonderful piece of history to share.

it was also very gratifying to see a printed page from the Mego Museum in their display case.
