This is fantastic stuff. I remember all of these things fondly. I am looking forward to the next couple of days. Lots of new things to enhance an already fun hobby!

Wow, talk about a trip down memory lane. I am proud to have been here since the beginning.

I remember the columns and that Wink Blinkman guy from before I even knew these forums existed....

They predated the forums by about 3 years.

It looked great

Seeing the old columns brings back some fun memories. It would be cool to have a retro month and bring them back to the front page for just a month but I'd guess it'd be too much work and a pain. It just goes to show how far the MM has come in a relatively short time.

Love the tour, thanks again for all the hard work involved!

MEL. Her name was Mel. I just found this in my archive:

The Wink Blinkman Special

I found this girl mascot on the wayback machine.

I don't think she ever had an official name (not sure)

I think that's one of the pictures they had in Toyfare when they did the feature for here all those years ago.

Wow, I never noticed that thread before .....
Man, that does look like it took a lot to make.

Excellent job on the photoshop one ... I couldn't tell it didn't exist in real life

You know, I kind of miss the columns, etc. I loved the busts used to represent each wing of the gallery.

Thanks. I know what you mean, but it was such a pain to have to make a new frikking marble bust everytime you added something to the site. Besides, I like the way the new design takes advantage of Mego color schemes and I do think it's more fun that the marble.

[megoscott]

Do you mean you actually made one and the ones we see in the photo's is real ? ... or do you mean you spent months working on the details but never finished ?

No, it's all digital artwork that you see. Photoshop and 3D.

Here's my prototype saga, I just put this together: The Mego Museum - Mego Talk
