    To use psychic influence to cause Mego to release the upcoming figures I want on an accelerated timeline.

      From a purchasing standpoint, I'd like a Mego Falcon and 12" Superman. And I will continue to buy mostly super-hero ReMegos.

      I'd like to find a way to display more of my figures. I have too many boxed up figures; ReMegos, Marvel Legends, DC Multiverse, etc.

      What I'd really like to concentrate on in 2020 is customs. Nothing earth shattering, but I have Legion of Super-Heroes suits that need proper heads and insignias. I have a bleit1701 Falcon suit and Doc Mego boots that just needs a clean head. If I can find a clean Iron Man head, or a nice nose-less custom, I'd like to build that figure. I'm still trying to figure out how to make the best Mego style Hawkman. The list goes on...

      And finally, I plan to continue to sell off major parts of my collections. I am in a place where I am selling more than I am buying.

        I also have reached a point where I am looking to drastically thin things down. I started selling in October but stopped for the holidays. I plan to start up again next month or March as people start to get tax returns and have disposable income again.

          Been working on that, myself and made big strides in 2019. Gonna keep striving to put a cap on it in 2020.

            It's a real pain, but the holidays are a great time to sell, both for what you get for some items, and for moving items quicker than they might at other times of the year. I wasn't as gung-ho this year as I have been in the past -- it really is a pain and I was tired -- but I did well with what I managed to put up for sale before Christmas.

              There are a few grails in my collections (MEGO and otherwise) that I would still jump on if provided the opportunity (and if having the finances available), but I am mostly looking to thin out the excess, streamline, and find a nice way to present what I am truly fond of.
              I think the majority of my MEGO collecting has moved to attempts to customize figures that I would like to see done in that format, but will most probably not see commercially made. Customizing with my son, Cip, is also one of my continued MEGO efforts.

                I would finally like to complete a few lines.
                Galahad, Catwoman, Shazam, Aquaman, Conan come to mind.
                Would love to get some more Cipsa apes. Will probably not happen...

                I will go on the hunt for these in a couple of months, as I have one particular vintage piece I need to save up for first...

                  I need to upgrade a few figures. My Hulk and Thing are pretty rough. I still need a Wayne Foundation and Jokermobile, but both are probably out of my budget.

                          Over the past year I have greatly expanded my collection, what with the remergence of Mego itself, adding more FTC wants-especially the TV batman series. I have also knocked off about 15 customs. This year will prove to be mor eof the same as Mego has a bunch of new 8" releases coming up soon and I ordered some FTC stuff over the holidays that is just starting to show up now. I currently have 25+ customs on the go and plans for many more- may have to start putting shelves in the bathrooms!

                            No major goals this year. Going to continue with all the new Megos I’m interested in. I’ll probably pick up a few Necas and FTC figures, as well. This year, I did pick up the Wizard of Oz set, which I had always considered, but as far as vintage goes, I pretty much have everything I want.

                                … the on-going effort to discover and bring glory to the bootlegs, factory oddities, undiscovered curiosities, et alia Apes across the planet continues!

                                This leads – as studio space demands – to the inevitable release of more simians and other toys from Ape City back into the world.
                                It's still a fun reciprocal subculture despite the madness of humanity around us.
