This is for you old Yahoo Mego Group and Levy List guys...

If only he would have been honest about the SS suits he'd have sold a bunch of them.

Yeah, that one was a real shame. The online Mego community is small enough that, once you lie about something like that, you might as well just go away because no one can trust you again. His rep is ruined.

When I got mine it at work, my sign guy was sitting across from me, he took one look and said "No way those are vintage". I felt sick.

I would have loved those SS suits, he probably could have a got a job working with Mattel with those.

Instead of making one big score, he could have sold those by the truckload, it was disappointing.

I was probably saving for a custom PeiPei Flash suit or something.

PeiPei took my money and never delivered.

Were his silkscreen suits made with a technique similar to what has been made since or was he onto something unique?

[EMCE Hammer]

I assume he got in early on the printable fabric, but I never got my hands on one of his suits to confirm. He's still around....after all these years I still have a hard time believing how that all went down. The designs were great, and he was a really good sewer, he could have sold a zillion of them. They looked every bit as good as Austin and Ed's suits, only years earlier.

Perhaps the technique is outdated now with the computer technology that we have, but they were good.

I remember these, they were awesome. I wish he would have been honest, these are sharp.

How much were these banners when he had them for sale?

I got mine from an Ebay auction...I don't think it was the ones that Mike was talking about though...may have been earlier. I think I paid around $35. It may have been more...It's been so long, I don't remember.

As for the Silk Screens...I think the final straw that broke the camels back was when Mike Haspiel (gnat) got taken on the Silk Screened Spidey with the circle logo. Jonathan said it was original and it definitely wasn't. That was basically the end of Jonathan Moore. I think the last thing Moore was doing were 12 inch customs if I'm not mistaken. It was a Green Arrow I think.

I heard of the Pei Pei figures...anyone have a pic of that...I've never seen one.

I had seen those suits and really liked them. I was actually thinking about doing some of those up myself. Too bad it was a rip off.

[Marvelmania]

I can't remember what those banners were going for either. They look nice but the BS behind them kind of ruins it.
Wasn't the story behind the ss suits something about finding them in a box at an estate sell of a college professor or something along those lines? Hard to beleive it was that long ago.

[Wee67]

It is quite impressive, how this community has become so much better at spotting fakes. OR spotting the real thing like the totally legitimate and absolutely real 2nd wave AE figures of Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Bruce Banner and Ollie Queen that I have on eBay right now starting at $1,500 a piece.



Go bid.



Bids lot.



Do it now.

I was swindled to the tune of $400 for the banners.

It still stings to think about it.

I remember Haspiel... What ever happened to him? I haven't seen he or Mike Owen (miguel-something) since the list days...

Mike Haspiel died not that long ago. I can't remember if we were still using the old forum or if we had already switched to this one when the news broke.

Aaaw man. That sucks.
