Things your kids or relative say about Megos

[UnderdogDJLSW]

Lately, my daughter (who's 7) has been giving me some Mego "haiku" and it made me think that there must be some really good quotes out there from our kids and family members. Here are some from her mostly regarding the new Mattels:

"Daddy, I really want you to get the Green Lantern figure because he wears green."

"Robin is my favorite Mego because he is a Tiny Titan"

"Lex Luthor! Why did you get him. He's a billan [villain]. You want to get superheroes"

The thing my kids say most often about my vintage toys is:


'Can I see that? - Can I hold it?"


most times I say yes

I think one of the most memorable quotes came from Noe' (one of the kids I babysit), when we were playing POTA and he was being the apes (I was Burke and Virdon and the Star Trek folks, cross universe story). Noe' (as Zaius) said: "Galen, you've got to stop acting like a human and start acting like an ape!" Even now, thinking about it still makes me laugh!

Another kid I watch, Zachary had 2 quotes:
Regarding playing w/ my POTA stuff when learning his mom was on her way to pick him up said, "I could play w/ this stuff all day!"

After I gave him his Batcave, he starting being "Desmond Doomsday" and said "Will Batman and Robin get out of this sticky situation? Tune in tomorrow, same Bat-Time, same Bat-Channel."

A little girl, Alana, got to play w/ my Batman Megos on her last visit, and has been on both me and her mom to come back. "I wanna play Batman again."

Many of my friends call me nerd...which does not bother me...simply because I am a nerd...lol.

Some really like it.

My sister doesn't get it...but supports me nevertheless.

My mom likes it...she herself collects old dollies and porcelain figurines.

Girls don't get it either...they think it's silly...that's why I'm not married...

As far as kids go...well...my nephews from my half sister don't live nearby...and kids from friends...yes...they all love it...but absolutely NO touching of my stuff...they are OFF LIMITS to kids...sorry...last time I let one of those little monsters handle one...was a Mego Superman...and he left dirt smudges on the suit...argh...never again...

"Why did they make Superman look latino?"

My family are glad I have something that makes me so happy. And the kids just love them.

My daughter has piles of comments, most of them are her pointing at a play set and saying "Remember when you let me play with that? Can I do it now?"

It's always five minutes until bedtime when she asks....

I have 3 kids, all of whom are building their own collection of mego/emce/mattel!

My girlfriend: "You bought another one?"

Nah, she's cool with it, most other people just roll their eyes

[Mikey]

Most of my family refers to me and my figures as "Mikey and his dollies"

[SoulSinger]

How we found 'em...





Superman for me? Yeah!




Repeat after me, "In brightest day..."

[Hector]

"Why did they make Superman look latino?"

Because he's more awesome that way...

[Trappy Trek Freak]

My sons both wanted me to get them Mego Robin so I don't have one but both of them do. My aunt Freda and my Sister always ask about my little men. LOL My wife thought I was going to turn her into a lamp shade the first time she saw the inside of my house, now she is mixing paint for me to paint megos and she has a mego Farrah. So its all good in the hood.

My nephew and niece think it's all pretty cool or at least they tell me that. The other day my nephew was looking at my POTA playsets and said, "Do you remember when you let me play with that?" I told him that I don't think I ever let you play with the playsets. He said, "Oh, maybe you didn't know I played with it."

My wife thinks I have issues, and does that oh so annoying roll of her eyes thing!

Both of my daughters snicker as they say Dad plays with dolls!

It does not really bother me since I realize they don't get it and never will!
