    I've been meaning to join this community for some time now. I'm a fairly irregular Mego fan. I wasn't even born until years after Mego filed for bankruptcy. My mother is a big comic and sci-fi fan, but she was just old enough to miss Mego's. Her ex boyfriend was pretty big on them, but I didn't really get interested myself until DC's retro action line.

    I love the texture of a cloth figure, as well as the general camouflaging of joints for articulation. I'm also a big fan of crossover compatibility so having such a large range of characters on a similar scale is always a big plus. I wish I had these figures when I was growing up!

    I used to post here several years ago as "Pharoid" I believe. I tried to resign back up and it wouldn't recognize my email address (even though I have used the same email address for nearly 10 years) so I started a new account.

    I was born in '76....so I missed the joys of the 8" line....except for the Dukes

    I grew up playing with mostly 3 3/4 size Mego figures...and the awesome "Eagle Force" line of figures. I have maybe 4-5 8" Mego figures....5-6 carded Eagle Force figures, and a few other random 3 3/4 Mego figures.

    I also have a couple of vintage Micronauts figures (and a bunch of the Palisade remakes)...and just last week I picked up a nice clean sealed Micronauts Galactic Cruiser....and I'm waiting on a sealed Hydrocopter to arrive today I really want to get more into the vintage Micronauts stuff......that stuff is just way too cool!!!!

    I'm also into a variety of other 80's toys too..... as well as comic books, electric guitars,plastic model kits,vintage video games (NES,SNES, and more) and I'm even into restoring/racing cars and trucks (not toys )

    I just wanted to post my official "Hello, I'm here" post.....

    Hello everyone! I've been looking at this site on and off for a while, and after seeing some Planet of the Apes custom sculpts on one of the forums i got excited so had to join.
    My background is plastic scale modelling, which i've been into since i was a kid, and currently i work as sculptor of wargaming miniatures, both historical and sci-fi/fantasy.
    My Mego 8" Apes are some of my most cherished toys, though recently the elastic in my Dr Zaius broke and his arms and legs fell off!

    I had action figures as a child in the 70's. Planet of the Apes, Star Trek, Monsters and Superheros. I never new that the company was called "Mego". When Toy Biz did their Famous Covers series, I thought. "hey, they're doing those same kinda figures again". Then I read somewhere that they were "just like the old Mego figures of the 70's", and figured THAT'S what they were. I still had a few of them at my parents house, and sold some of them on E-Bay! I just kinda surfed onto this site, and didn't really give it a second thought... Then I checked it out again, and saw some of the customs, and REALLY dug those! That got me hooked. So for about 6 months now, I've really gotten into it. I've gotten some stuff from Doc Mego and CTVTs and put together some of my own stuff, but I've never sculpted or "poured" anything like that yet. I've bought some customs from Type-3-John, Sandy C-Monster and a couple of others. I'm really looking forward to all the monsters comming up....

    Wow! I've just now stumbled onto the tutorial about re-stringing Mego bodies. I can now have a go at fixing Dr Zaius. All the imaginative custom figures are really wonderful. Very glad that I joined this forum
