Vintage Mego of the Day

[rche]

I'm a grown man and I still get bummed about the Mego 9" experiment. I love the look of the figures, but I could just never get past the size issue.

I've always found it interesting that when other lines were sizing down (gi joe), Mego was attempting to size up with the 9" and 12" lines.

This is one I have always wanted, especially to go with my Dr. Who figure.

I'm not much of a Dr. Who fan (I know, blasphemy!) but I love that line of figures!

Vintage Mego of the Day: The Black Knight from World's Greatest Super Knights

Still a fantastic looking figure, with loads of great accessories. The original "Dark Knight", complete with Bat Emblem!
They were among my favorites as a kid.

I'm just missing a Galahad now...

Love the knights. You know, shot thusly, the BK head doesn't look so bad.

Vintage Mego of the Day; General Urko from the Planet of the Apes!

Loved that one as a kid, and still have it. Him and his CIPSA cousin get along just fine...

They didn't sell them here, but a friend bought a whole bunch of apes when vacationing in Spain.
He later sold them to me, because he needed money to buy drugs. I think I got the better deal...

Btw, that MM card is still one fantastic-looking piece of art!

General Urko is IMO one of the best looking figures Mego made. The suit really pops off the green card background.

[cjefferys]

He's been my favourite Mego ape since I was a kid, cool purple outfit, loaded with accessories, what's not to like? I really like his Cipsa counterpart too.

Ahhhh......my kingdom for an Urko........or an Ursus.....lol. BTW, that Black Knight figure looks great. Never had any of the knights or pirates as a kid, but i am tempted to start looking for some as i build my collection. Were CTVTs repros of those decent?

[palitoy]

I've probably told this story a lot over the years but my dad bought a big chunk of the General Urko figures when Simpson Sears cancelled their reorder. I spent many a Saturday stickering them with big red $1.88 stickers hoping at least one case would contain the four other characters.
