    Outside of ebay, is there a recommended seller with fair prices?

      I mentioned it before, and almost no one agreed, but Mego really should start thinking about releasing some accessory packs, like uniforms/clothing, weapons, and other gadgets. I think there are more than enough customizers to make it profitable, along with people buying old Mego figures online and looking to restore them with legit Mego products.

        Yeah, they can start with all of the Topps exclusive heads, outfits and accessories.

          i'm pretty sure Mego said they had no interest in doing that as there was no real profit in it for them

              Yes, the comparatively cheap reuse of the Mego body has been a hallmark for them since the beginning. To mix in a Hasbro analogy, there's no need to sell razor blades when you can sell accessorized razors.
              WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

                they could sell one of those boxed things from a year or so ago with lets say generic klingons, and then include extra disruptors etc.

                  Yeah. I wish someone would tell those goofs at Mattel to knock it off with Barbie. They've been trying to make the outfits and accessories racket work for almost 60 years now. Time to give it up.

                  I mean, G.I. Joe, the Adventure Team, Big Jim, and Action Man took that approach with boys and only made untold millions before they finally realized it didn't work.

                  But really, that's an unfair comparison. Adult collectors don't have nearly the disposable income that 9-year-old girls do for that kind of stuff.

                    Disruptors, phasers, more realistic communicators and tricorders, a McCoy medical kit, tribbles, etc...

                      So why is the head a still a tad too large? The new 14" are so perfect in that regards I thought this was an old chapter now.
