I've posted before that, as a kid, I turned all my Megos into professional wrestlers. I made title belts for them, and I kept a list of all the matches, title changes, etc. Seven years worth of records, over seven massive college bound spiral notebooks. (I think I started at 10 and ended at 17. Yes, nerd boy played with his dollies at 17 - well, okay, mainly I wrote about made-up matches at that point, but still!)
Anyway, today I drug them out to show my 9 yr old son. I still have a few of my original Megos-turned-wrestlers ("BlackJack" Thomas aka Bones McCoy, Eric "The Cougar" Grey aka Action Jackson, and The Terminator, a Mr. T head glued/taped on a black Mego body) that I gifted to him a few months ago, and it's super cool to see him play with them as I did. It was fun to sit down with him and read through those old record books and tell him tales about "Blackjack" Thomas winning his seventh world title, Terminator winning a tournament to get a title shot. etc.!) I know I still have a few more of those old Mego wrestlers somewhere, and he's made more himself from the current crop of reMegos. Hardly any new reMego I give him lasts even 24 hours without getting undressed and having their parts and clothes swapped around with the rest of his guys. The tradition continues!
