    need your opinion on plastic Mego case



    A while back I purchased a sweet Zorro mint with his Box. Well I wanted to protect my investment, and ordered a hard plexi glass box to store him safely in, keep the dust off, keep the kids out, and keep the cats from chewing on the corners....all things I had to learn the hard way with earlier MEGOS.

    Well The Box was Mego size, But not Palitoy Zorro box size. I was going to order one that fits to size from Oscar, but his shipping was a little more than I wanted to pay for one box. (Don't get me wrong his boxes are fantastic!)

    Plus I wanted to display Zorro out of the solid Box, instead of displaying just the box....but I wanted it to be all one box....so this is what I designed and had a local plastic company put it together for me. I would like everyones opinion.

    The bottom slides out in two seperate parts so you can access one half without disturbing the other half. There is a divider down the middle to keep them from rubbing up against one another. I'm pretty proud of it. lmk.

      I like it. It's hard notice anything except that sweet Zorro!

        You should be proud, that's a great design.
        Wouldn't be surprised if other people will want one like this

              Thank you, I am pretty proud of it, I always wondered why there wasn't one like it, but I guess most Megos have the window box, so that makes sense.

              I was wondering if others would be interested, I could let the company know and see about a price.

                These would be great for solid box figures and boxes.

                  You know, those would be cool for heroes and sidekicks too. Loose, or boxed.

                  Batman & Robin
                  Green Arrow & Speedy
                  Capt. America & Falcon

                  or VS

                  Batman VS Joker
                  Spidey VS Green Goblin
                  Superman VS Mxy

                  etc.

                          I love this idea , I want to add all my Mego's and even my other figures into acrylic cases like these . Where can you find these ? Also how do the figures do in these if stored , do they tend to move around a lot in a manner that could chip or scratch away paint ? I have a lot of different sized figures and really want to store / display them like this. I am open to any suggestions as well , but where could I get these kind of cases.
