    4th Anniversary

    Yesterday marked the 4th anniversary of TwoMorrows' publication of Mego 8" Super-Heroes: World's Greatest Toys! It was originally published on October 25, 2007 and remains out-of-print.

    Four years! It's hard to believe that much time has passed.

    Thanks to everyone on the MM Boards, who helped make the book a reality.

            Has it been that long already? Wow, how time flies.
            And sold out, eh? Good for you

              I remember seeing your photo and blurb you mailed into Entertainment Weekly and logging right onto Amazon and pre-ordering a copy. Time flies.
              It's all good!

                  Four years? Holy crap, time goes fast! And I still remember like it was yesterday getting that really cool oversized promo postcard that you mailed out to early subscribers of your book's promotional website, and that was May 2006! At that point I so couldn't wait for the book to come out.

                  Anyway, your book still holds a very special place on my bookshelf. And yeah, when's the next one? I remember you mentioning something about a Jumbo Machinder book?

                    The Machinder book is… ahem… on the shelf, but not out of the question.

                    Now that the book is sold out, I wouldn't mind doing a 2nd Edition with updates and corrections. Still don't think a brand new Mego book is likely to happen, but there have been discussions about giving the 'World's Greatest Toys treatment' to two different toy lines – Kenner's Super Powers Collection and Batman: The Animated Series – as well as one detailing the work of sculptor Randy Bowen. It's all up in the air…

                    Thanks for the love, guys. So happy the book continues to bring smiles. That's really wonderful. Hope you all have happy and safe holidays!

                      Wow, that would be cool if those see the light of day. I know this, No mego collection is complete without your book. I still go to it for whatever reason at least once a week.

                      Chris i think you can find them on Amazon. Or every once in a while someone will offer one in the marketplace. But it's hard to find second hand cause not many are willing to give it up.

                          Thanks Mark. I know I really, really want one. It's funny, cause I feel like a kid who is at the store and I can either have one play set or 4 action figures.....LOL. I want to buy more action figures!!
