It seems like some of us aren't collecting figures from the new Mego Company. Whom of you are only into the original Mego Company and don't buy the new stuff?

I haven't purchased any new Mego figures lately. I think the last one was their Farrah Fawcett figure. I purchased a lot of their figures (waves 1-4?) at Target when they first came out. I was going to Target several times a week. It was thrilling for a while, but then I eventually got burned out, and the thrill was gone. I'm also not interested in Star Trek or Apes, so I don't collect those. I did recently purchase some Dinah Mite stuff, so I guess you could say I like old Mego better. -
Well as far as New Mego, I think most folks only get what interests them jmo. For me it was mostly Star Trek, but Universal Monsters was a big success along with the DC Heroes and now that POTA is included I’m sure those will sell like hot cakes, not so much say Facts of Life and Full House, but I’m sure those who had an interest in those bought them.
It’s no different then back in the day, the 8 year old in us only bought what they liked and passed on other characters, how many of us bought original mego Batman compared to say, Mr. Mxyzptlik?
I guess old mego is classic, it’s what we all saw first when we were kids and played with them, while new mego, great as it is, is more for collecting and displaying purposes for the adult in us.Comment

My interest is dwindling lately. The abandoning of generic knockoff type monsters has dulled my interest I may still get a couple but not buying as much as I was.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

I’m still collecting loose vintage. The new ones are nice but only collect some. I started out getting them all - got too expensive. I really think they are all pretty awesome and very fairly priced !!!Comment

The Topps announcement me come to a conclusion- I have a Mego problem.
Every time I see a Mego in the wild, I buy it. Whether I want it or not. Last week, I found and bought Leatherface, Igor and Stan Lee. Last time, it was Saru and Apollo Creed (I did want Creed). All this while I haven't ordered figured I do want, like Wonka and the Reptile. It doesn't make any sense.
I sat here all week debating on Shazam and Black Adam before finally realizing I was tempted to buy them not because I wanted them but rather because they were exclusive. I really need to settle down and focus on the new Megos I really want.
Hi, my name is Bill and I'm a Mego addict.WANTED - Solid-Boxed WGSH's, C.8 or better.Comment
