What's the worst thing that ever happened to your Mego?

After Robin's leg broke in 1979 it was glued back in place. The problem was that glue got in the knee joint and the Boy wonder way stuck in a running position for many months. Nothing strikes fear into the hearts of villain than to see the boy wonder with his foot hanging out over the front of the batmobile since that was the only way he could fit. A pair of pliers fixed the problem, followed by another glue treatment, this time without frozen knee syndrome.

The leg of a Palitoy Torch I got recently broke in the package, my heart sank and it's still trying to find it's way back up. One of the cons of collecting packaged figures unfortunately.

I also had a 77 Riddler turn up with a broken leg a few months back. I think somebody's trying to test me .

When I first started collecting as an adult, and I had about 7 Megos, my cousin Jason became interested in Megos. He really wanted to play with them so I got them out. He was about 10 years old I think. Anyways, as we were playing, I heard this 'snap'. I looked at Jason and he was holding my Luke Duke, who was now missing half a leg. The leg had broken at the knee. Jason felt bad, I was a little bummed, but in the end, it was no big deal. I just repaired the leg at a later date. That's the worst thing that happened to my Megos.

I was little when I started collecting Megos so alot happens ya know?
I took clothes off of them and never put them back on and forgot about it and my wonderful sister threw out most of the clothing and peices. God, I could strangle her now! She walked into my room a few days ago and was in shock, she even said, "Didn't I throw them away?" I just smiled and said, "Yeah, they came back from the dead to torment you, and they're coming after your Peter Criss doll for vengance of the fallen comrades you banished to trash land!"

She really didn't have much to say. But my neice did say she didn't see Peter Criss where she had placed it for years so yeah you know she's scared of the evil mego curse.

Besides my brother?

Discovering the flammability of Testor's Cement Glue as a young teenager combined with a fascination with fireworks.

I bought a nice French carded The Thing figure back in the early 90s, I had it displayed on a hanging peg on my wall for years. One day a few years back, I walked in the room and found that the bubble had actually separated from the card somewhat, enough for the figure to be removed. I didn't pay alot for it but it was still a bummer to find it no longer MOC. Then more recently, I found a great deal on a loose Thing on Ebay. Got it in the mail, took it out and it was in great shape. I went to display it, and was bending the arms and legs to pose it how I wanted, and the left arm peg broke. I have bad luck with The Thing I guess!!

The only other incident involving my Megos was having to sell off a bunch of MOC figures about seven years ago due to divorce That definitely ranks as the worst thing to happen to my Mego collection.

Worst thing that happened to one of my Megos...Lost my Diamond Logo Spidey in my house...FOR 2 YEARS!!! and then I found it. Man, I went crazy (Heath/Highquality can tell you the story). I found it under a pile of clothes in a dresser drawer in my basement (I have finished basement). I thought for sure that one of 2 things happened to it:

1) I shipped it out to one lucky member on the museum by accident with other figures they had purchased from me.

2) I threw it out in a shipping box by accident.

Thank God neither of those happened.

But think about all the other crap you got rid of at the same time.

Changing clothing to upgrade a figure and my darn fingernail gets hung-up on the perfect suit--- producing a "fuzzy" or "fuzzball".

Happens way too often...
