I wish all the repro megos...

I love my 14.99 Romulan. Saved me a TON of money.

I'm not a big fan of repro stuff. I can see the desire for hard to find (or impossible) parts being made but to me it just makes it so hard to trust you are getting 100% original vintage Mego when you buy a figure now. The more figures and pieces that get reproduced just makes it that much more likely to get taken at some point. Especially when the stuff is unmarked. There is almost no way to tell when looking at a crappy ebay picture sometimes. Even worse if you are buying from a 'flipper' who just picks these things up at auctions or estate sales, etc and knows NOTHING about them. How can they know what's real or repro when sometimes even WE have to look twice at things?
I prefer the "new" repro figures like Sulu, Chekov, Gorn that add to the original issues rather than copies of old Mego stuff.

Of original issue would be gathered and steam rolled. Just a thought I had.

I would say about 90% of the CTVT's stuff needs to be! Pure ****!

Paul Clark (Dr. Mego) only made repos in the beginning as a source for pieces that were missing on figures that were hard to come by.
People have turned it into an art and now it has gone beyond anything most people have expected.

I don't collect MEGO figures to seal them forever in glass clam shells and steer at them behind a metal framed shelf encased in bullet proof glass. Not my cup of tea.

I like original megos but if I can't get the original source, I will settle for a reproduction piece. Mainly now for my daughter who enjoys setting them up or playing with them. That is what got me into "customizing megos" was the fact she wanted certain characters and I had to get crafty to meet the child's needs.

All this repo Star Trek stuff is cool I think. I really wasn't into Star Trek as much as the majority on here.
I think if there were actual reproduction Words Greatest Super Hero figures, they would have to look as good or better to get me to buy them because between my daughter and I, we have over a hundred and some customs, growing strong.
