Mego Scale 1/10 Jeep From Temu

[Megotastrophe]

Got this off Temu a couple months ago and looked right but hadn’t had time to really set it up. Charged up the batteries for under the hood and put AAs in the controller. Loaded up with some handy Megos and this thing is pretty cool for 30 bucks. Now I kinda wish I had spent the forty dollars and got the one with the cloth canopy and the working winch. It’s got some serious 4WD and darned quick. Put a few AJs in the WW2 uniforms or Batman and Robin from the Buy Bonds comic book cover of Batman #12. Nephew, niece or grandchild gift this jeep and the new AJ.

Those 50th anniversary knees are brutal but I have a reason to unbox them finally

Very cool.

I could see a Captain America jeep ... Add a Red Skull and you have a great action pose.

Sgt Rock would be a great set with this.

I think the Action Jackson in Army fatigues would be a perfect fit.

That's slick.

I think my custom Kolp from BATTLE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES would like that.

No doubt he would...

Didn’t the Apes drive Jeeps in the Cartoon POTA series?

I really thought the jeep was cool and kept it in the back of my mind.

Thank you Megotastrophe for posting about it.

So when I saw one posted for sale local to me, went and got it.

Looks great. It’s a snug fit and it works better with older India made CTVT figures or at least the legs and the shorter Mego China figures from that one release. I think it was the Topps figures?? I’m still thinking of making some foot holes in the footwells so that the figures can sit slightly better. Haven’t decided yet. Some Sgt Rock customs would work well here too.

I think the mego 6 inch Lion Rock War Heroes would be a perfect fit for the jeep.

[Megotastrophe]

They are good. The idea is it’s supposed to be for 7 inch figures at 1/10 scale. 1/12 is slightly smaller but still ok. The 1/9 Mego scale squeezes in.

? I’m still thinking of making some foot holes in the footwells so that the figures can sit slightly better. Haven’t decided yet. Some Sgt Rock customs would work well here too.

I was thinking of doing the same. No leg room is the problem. I got this for my Mego figures so might pull out my Dremel tool and see what I can do to modify it.
