2020 Collecting Goals

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.Comment

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.Comment

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.Comment

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.Comment

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....

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!Comment

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.Comment

… 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.Comment
