Back to Megos ....

[Marvelmania]

Ok folks lets get back to Megos and fun stuff. How about posting a pic of your favorite Mego. It doesn't have to be your most expensive, rare, WGSH or 8' one but just your favorite. Doesn't matter if it's your childhood Spidey missing his arms as long as it's your favorite. Don't have a picture? Then just say what it is!
Here's mine! An minty and all original FF Cap (sweet card by the Toyroom).

This might read like a contradiction. My favorite figure that Mego ever did is Green Lantern and I have two of them, but my favorite in my collection is my loose Captain America.

I never had Cap as a kid, but the one I have is the first figure I ever got off of eBay and set the precedent for how I have been collecting these last few years. I think I won Cap for about $10 and he was kind of in rough shape. Over the course of about a year, I matched paints and got the head just right, got a better suit in a trade with Garagesale, got a repro sticker, boots, and shield. He looks great and I have a sense of pride in having restored a figure. Most of my collection has been built that way; buy cheap, get parts here and there to restore to glory, but Cap was the first and still kind of my pride and joy.

I couldn't figure out what you were talking about and then I looked and noticed I did type Green Lantern. (Probably because I have been reading Showcase Green Lantern this weekend.)

I meant to type Green Arrow. Green Arrow is my favorite Mego ever made.

Nice catch! I'm sure that read like I was talking out my butt!

Hey Bud, If you do not mind me asking Where did you get those display cases? I have been looking (although not really hard) for some just like those. I have been picking up plastic and glass tumblers here and there when I find them the right size as I was trying to achieve the same effect. I would appreciate the info if you are willing to give it up. Thanks in advance.

Hands down Human Wolfman. My favorite one is the slightly customized one I did a while back.

I have been away for a little while so I do not recall seeing your custom Wolfman. I just wanted to say that he looks awesome. Very well done. Nice pic. too.

Hi T, I couldn't agree more. Some how I kind of thought that you liked Cap over some of the others as your favorite. I have no idea what gave it away. Two things is for sure and that one that is a nice Cap you got there. Two. Once again our friend Anthony comes through with the awesome packaging as always.

You got it Buddy. I found them at a Place called Bed Bath and Beyond but I've seen them at other places as well. There made by bodum. There the perfect size for MEGOs and there Airtight. They have a few different styles. One with a Metal lid and one with a Cork Lid. They have some that have the Words bodum etched on the Glass and some that don't. A few times I just switched the Glass jar from the Cork ones

Looks like some evil doer has captured them and put them in Specimen jars!

Ha Ha Ha. I had the same thought when I first saw them in there, but If I don't keep them in there they'll be running wild

I still have my original trek crew, pocket heroes Spider-Man & Hulk and regular WGSH Hulk and Green Goblin (Dr. Mego parts added in there) those are pretty much the elite part of my collection, they are my childhood.
