    New Museum Gallery for "New Megos" WIP- Need Help

    Since it's been requested often, I've been working on a new gallery section for the Museum for what I'm calling for the moment "Re-Mego". Basically EMCE, CTVT, Castaway, etc... things that are factory produced, new "Mego" figures.

    However, I don't own all this stuff to photograph, so I need help. I have all the EMCE stuff, but Kirk and Spock I gave to my son a while back and they are too well loved to photograph (that means they are now in serious played with condition )

    There is also a ton of CTVT stuff I need. At the end of this thread there is a link to the early draft of the pages. Many are inactive or incomplete. For example, CTVT Space 1999 is missing the first series, Happy Days only has the first series. I need all the CTVT Mad Monsters, Lucy, Brady's, MWC, all the legends, and more. Take a look at the link at the bottom of this post. Don't pay any attention to anything but CTVT, EMCE and Rainfall at the moment. David Lee is going to send on Castaway stuff when it's all ready, so that section is coming. I have the Tim Mee stuff, just don't have it up yet. Otherwise, if it's missing or there is a wrong photo, I need the figure.

    What I need are people that are either willing to loan me the figures for photography, or who have the means to take nice pics over a light grey or white background that I can post. Joe and Steve are working on lists of what they can provide, but there are going to be gaps, so whatever anyone can do to help make this section happen is appreciated.

    Here's the WIP section so far...

    Also, if you can think of any other lines that came out after Mego collapsed that used the Mego body, please let me know.

              Hiya folks,

              I just picked up the Robin Hood series from CTVT. I can shoot you some pics of that. I'd be willing to do the rest of the legends as well, but I don't know if I can get that going until after the mad holiday rush. What size and file format is best for pics?

                sweetness - i love the repros and the extension of lines from them.

                this is also nice to use as a repro ID resource

                  Since it's come up a couple times, I'm looking for pics of LOOSE figures. I'm not really getting into card art for these things at this time. Perhaps down the road, but for now I just want to get a checklist of figures going so people know what's out there, and new collectors can figure out what is actually Mego release, and what came later.

                  Lynn- If you can get me loose monster pics, go for it!

                  Shazam- I have Musters, but need Joanie and Chachi

                  Rche- Please do, I need all the legends. If it's after the holidays, that's cool

                  Pic guidelines- Take them large if you can. I can shrink them to what I need. If you can, please take them over light grey or white. Something solid looks more classy if you can. A sheet or pillowcase propped up works great. All pics can be emailed to me at
                  [email protected]

                  I really appreciate any help.

                  Clayton- As far as Commander X goes, I'll let Doc tell me if that belongs with EMCE or not. There are a few other things like the GAH that need to be added. I'm really just starting this, so it's going to be an ongoing thing I work on as pics come in or as folks send me stuff to photograph.

                      Great idea, I'm loving it.
                      Just one question: on the WIP page you have the prototype EMCE Gorn, but the finished work has a different outfit, will you keep the prototype pic up there or change it with the real one? I guess you could list the prototype figure on the Gorn page itself, same thing for the Khan prototype. It would be cool to see both listed on their own page

                        When I first took that pic and put it up, I didn't know I had a prototype. I thought that was what was going to be released. I'll replace it once the actual release version is in my hands.

                          I'm going to bump this up for a day or two in hopes that others that might not have seen it over the weekend might see it and be able to help out.

                            Awesome Dave. I have four carded Bible figures, and can take a pic of my prototype Commander X if required. I'm happy to help out in any way...

                              Weren't there some ninja ripoff figures from the 80's or 90's I thought I read about in a thread here somewhere?
                              Looks good so far. You're doing a great job revamping things. I know I personally appreciate all the details and information.
