    Let me say that the amazing response i have seen in this thread and through PM's has been overwhelming to me. I knew we had an amazing number of great people here, but the response from people who don't know Derek well or even at all has given me a renewed faith in the human spirit.

    As far as what people could or should donate, I will leave it up to each of you individually. He is now a single Dad with three boys aged 4, 11 and 20 (I believe), so it would be hard to go wrong with anything boys or young men would want or need. Again, don't discount the power of a simple email or card, all the information you need is in this thread.

    Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all, you make me proud to be a member of the Mego Museum.

      ... Anyone got any of the 3 they wanna sell me or donate ?
      BK - I can cover all three of those, and throw in a complete Robin to boot (if someone hasn't already. Send me the address they need to go to and I will get them boxed up to ship.

        Okay, he's getting a Fonzie from me, and 3 type 1 bodies, but the only thing is, I need hands for them, 1 white, 1 tan, 1 black, I got a naked "Ponch" and another type 1 body sans a leg but I know Trappy has bits and parts so I'll ask him if he's got a leg, Someone out there please tell me you have type 1 hands for him, I'm rummaging through the rest of my stuff and I'm trying to get a care package sent sometime next week someone get back to me about the hands! Plus, with 5 naked bodies he'll need heads and clothes, that's something I'm fresh out of, so someone, ANYONE please help me out!

        Also, bumping this thread up everyone keep on digging, we'll have some quality swag for him in no time!

          Sentry, I can volunteer an outfit or two if not too fancy. I can create from a photo reference--so send me some photos. It might take a couple of days turnaround though (I work full time and I have 3 boys to tend to, and I'm on the west coast). I can use my soldier ape or Dr. Zaius as a model. Let me know how I can help.

          To do list:
          1:6 boots for Mathilda, 1:1 Romulan Commander outfit, Ursus helmet; Cornelius appliance
          1:9 scale ape's new suit for Cornelius;

              Sent Derek all these original WGSH:

              Robin
              Penguin
              Hulk
              Captain America

              I hope he and his kids like them. Maybe it'll be a start to a new collection.

                        I spoke with Derek yesterday and I think I can safely say that he has been truly surprised and grateful for the generous paypal contributions so far. I know he was going to try and contact Brian about changing the email address on his profile and getting a new password, so hopefully he will make an appearance here soon.

                              I just saw and read through this thread. I'm pretty taken a back and also heart warmed. You all are really great!

                              Derek, I hope things are getting a little bit better for you. My thoughts are with you and I'll do what I can to help out. Please, take care.
