    I love to see Megos interpreted in artwork. From crude line drawings to the great Otto paintings in Benjamin's book. It takes me back to all those great Heroes World ad and catalogs. These are great Brian. The museum should be a depository of ALL things Mego, from the supposedly mundane and "boring" to the startling discovery of the decade.

    Never saw the Tonka Winnebago, but I would have used it for Shazam! play!

      It's probably one of the few images they had at the time!

      Good call, Ben.

      I don't think I thought about the nature of the art in the ads when I was a kid, but the fact that they are representations of the dolls and not the heroes makes it nostalgically satisfying.
