Vintage Mego of the Day: Fonzie's Jalopy

^I had that! I only had Fonzie and his Jalopy...which really isn't. It's Ralph's. You see Ralph driving into the Cunningham driveway in the opening for several seasons.

I've never really looked into re-buying one, but Cindy has, and she says they are quite pricey, and kind of hard to come by.

Great car! Cool pick with the whole gang in the car. I always liked the jalopy but never got one. Maybe some day!

Today's VMOD is 12" Captain America with Fly Away action!



As a boy growing up in the wilds of Canada, the image of Cap on the 12" Spider-man box would haunt me. I had to wait until I was 17 to get my hands on one.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Despite the oversized noggin, I still think I'd like to own a Cap one day. It's a nice sculpt, and I like the more accurate costume a lot. Too bad they just didn't give him a pair of Spidey hands.

The box is all sorts of Romita-goodness.

I just noticed the box refers to Cap as "America's newest super hero". Huh? Is this due to the TV movies? Cap's been around since late 1940!!! He's the oldest Marvel character Mego made.

Totally. That actually bothers me more than the oversized head.

Good ol' Bad Leroy. The endless stories a child could come up with to how he lost his left eye. I never understood the CB craze, "Here kids go eavesdrop on some foul mouthed truckers."

Evel Kneivel envy, much?

I missed Bad LeRoy. The hand...the eye...it's just too easy.

I remember when JJ was first discovered. Brian teased for what seemed weeks before reveling the figure.

Ha! I remember really rushing to get it up there.
