Trying to visualise the birth of a Mego.....

[English Paul]

Sometimes when I am dropping a stitch into a split seam, re stringing a type one body or fighting to put on Batmans oven mitt glove I think about what went into the birth of a Mego figure back in the 1970s.

What actually went into stitching a suit together - was it done by a person sat at a sewing machine?

Were T1 bodies strung and tied by hand?

How was the head inserted?

How many Green Arrow quivers broke on the production line?

How were the elastics of a T2 body fastened?

Would a stubborn glove hold up the production line?

Hope you see where I am coming from - It would be a marvel to see a Mego born and I'd just like to understand a little more about how it was done and the complications that could arise.

I'd much rather be handing out cigars in the waiting room.

These are some images from inside the Mego factory, I got to borrow this shareholders report back in the mid eighties, long before scanners sadly, so these copies are all i have.

Boy would I love to see that display room with the rotating columns, full of megoy goodness. It's like the Temple of Mego Wonderland. Thanks for sharing those, Brian.
