My first order from DrMego.

Why did the scene from Goodfellas when they are outside to greet Henry after his first arrest come to mind?
Welcome and thank God for Dr. Mego!

Because my friends all think that Paul Sorvino should play me in a movie.

"Hey! Dr. Cyclops placed his first order with Dr. Mego!"

My first order was a batch of replacement 'laser guns' and 'shavers', which I still use in my display. The bonus item was a pair of red trunks, for which I have yet to find a use.

Although I didn't get any professional discount, it was all like; Thanks Pidone, for not snitchin' us out to the judge. We's gonna let you make anudder order. So I did! Tonight. This keeps up, I'm gonna be a "made-man".

Just remember not to talk too much about "this thing of ours". Snitches get stitches, or at least delayed orders. Case in point:



This is Tommy. Tommy had a couple of bodysuits, 2 pairs of blue Male Hero Boots, couple of heads, and a couple of capes on order. Tommy ratted out the Doc to the heat.



"What do ya mean you 'backordered' Tommy?"

This Tommy guy has got to go! I don't like him. I bet he doesn't even know how to say 'Purple Belt in yellow'. Good thing we doctors are allowed to use electro-shock therapy in these cases.

I ordered 'The Fly Head and Hand. Talk about making dreams come true. OMG. I'm gonna make me an 'Insectoscientist'!

Actually, if it weren't for meeting Doc at a NY con way back, i never would have gotten into collecting Mego's and customizing. It was seeing how i could piece together Teen Titans that made me start collecting. (Shame on you Doc)Of course it took me about 12 years before i did start.

Welcome to the party, pal.

I don't think I would be back into the collection of Mego and Mego-like figures. With Dr. Mego I originally used him to help me create customs of figures we didn't have like that Flash in Green Lantern (waaaaaay back in the day before the Mattel figures).
From there, I just went nuts ordering repo parts and custom parts to make figures and for about three years I think I paid his mortgage with all the orders I sent.
I have a few other things in mind when I return back to customizing. For the time being I'm taking a break (looking for an idea for new space). After almost 300 and some figures later I thank Dr. Mego (Paul) for sparking a renewed interest in a childhood collection that became sort of an obsession.

You rock Dr. Mego!

I read the PC interview. It's spooky how much two doctors have in common. One on the east coast and another on the west. Thankfully we have enough differences that I'm not too creeped-out.
Please let me take a moment to give credit to the MegoMuseum. When I say this place is a 'Think-Tank for Mego', I mean it. So many of you members are beyond helpful. Every question I ask, is given great consideration. I can't thank you all enough. If C&D orders have done the damage to our hobby. I say it's time to fight back HARD! I draw and sculpt fan-art. Try and stop me! Or better yet, try and hire me.

Second order arrived today.
It's getting harder and harder to find stuff to order on the other sites. Currently saving up my pennies for the 3rd order.
dr_cyclops has been bit by the custom mego bug. The infection is spreading rapidly through my system. I'll update as the condition progresses.
