    Scott

    Action Jackson (black bearded with light blue nylon jumpsuit)

    3. What was your last Mego?
    I received three of the Fantastic Four line at the same time for Christmas, so my last Mego would have been Mister Fantastic, Human Torch, and The Thing.

    4. What were your Top 3 favorite Megos?
    1. Green Arrow
    2. Thor
    3. Iron Man

    8. What was your favorite Mego line?
    I "collected" World's Greatest Super-Heroes, Star Trek, Planet of the Apes, and Mad Monsters. And while I loved comic books and super-heroes, Planet of the Apes was my favorite line.

    9. Was there a Mego line that you wanted to collect but was never able to?
    Robin Hood and His Merry Men. I only saw them at Times Square Stores (TSS) alongside World's Greatest Super-Knights and Wizard of Oz.
    Although if I was going to break the parameters of my rules, the Flash Gordon line was one that I always desired but never saw in stores.

    The Batcave.

    11. What Mego vehicle/accessory set did you always want but never had?

      1) Tom

      2) Action Jackson Black hair/dark blue suit (1973). Christmas morning. I actually have a picture holding it!

      3)Wow. That's a tough question. Is that from my childhood or just in general collecting? My last Mego's collected from youth were in the early 80's at Children's Palace. I picked up a carded (import) Mego Batman, Robin, and Hulk. Still have them that way too. I stared down a 12 inch Captain America forever but couldn't do it. Sealed the deal about five years ago. My last Mego in collecting was Invisible Girl. Found a descent card with the plastic casing still intact except for the bottom half. Pieced her together from auctions and put her in her case. That was about five years ago too. Everything since has been mostly retro with a few exceptions, but not in the Mego-universe.

      4) RC Batman, Spider-man, Green Goblin

      5) Penguin, Mr. Mxyzptlk, Lizard (never thought he looked right)

      6) Star Trek Enterprise

      7) Batcycle

      8) Hands down, the WGSH line. Life changing for a kid that never had superhero figures to play with.

      9) As a kid, I could never obtain the Teen Titans. Really I should say Kid Flash specifically. I had seen some of the Titan figures, but I wanted him first. It wasn't until 2001, I scored him. Actually it was the night before 9/11. That's one I never forget.

      10) Mego Batcave. Never had it, still don't. I've had opportunities, but passed. Kind of hoping a retro one or better version gets made.

      11) Believe it or not the Batmobile. I nabbed the Batcycle when I was a kid, but never got around to the Batmobile. Grabbed one about 16 years ago.

      12) See answer for number 9. Having a Flash related figure drove me nuts. I even wrote a letter to Mego pretending to be a parent to see if I could get one. Must not have been convincing. (;

            Yeah, I should have been specific about that. Childhood. I went back and edited the post.

            I bet many of us are going to answer that way.

            I always wanted Kid Flash too. I recently picked up the FTC re-Mego version of all the Teen Titans.

              I would really love to do this poll, but I really wasn't into Megos as a kid, and all I had were 2 AJs and Lainie. But I did love watching those commercials after school.

                I was always a Captain America fan but his Mego left me cold. Robin was the first WGSH that I wanted but I got Aquaman instead.

                Oddly enough, I never saw this as a kid but I did see all of the other POTA accessories. I would have wanted it had I seen it.

                  It was a great one. When Diamond or whoever it was released the repro a few years ago, I considered buying it.

                              You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...
