    Buried them in the sand and forgot where I did it.
    If you need a hole, I can dig it.

        Ooooooo.......
        Let me count the ways?

        All my old Auora modle kits, burned very well.
        What pretty BLACK smoke they made.
        And probably TOXIX too?
        As did all of my apes. I hated the apes.
        Note to all. Apes can not stop a train.
        Many, many megos met my NEW pump action Crossmen BB gun.
        That thing could shoot through a metal garbage can lid.
        It was awsome!!!
        You should have seen the way it destoyed the Micronauts.
        They were no match.
        My first custom, was the Human Torch.
        I attached him to my fishing pole, with a metal 2' leader.
        And poured light fluid on him.
        (who remembers that, in the kitchen under the sink?)
        And said those famous words... FLAM ON !!!!
        Swinging him over my head in the front yard.
        I got a wippen for that one.
        But with out a doubt, the best all out destrution.
        Total annilation, and most spectacular was....
        The Mettel Space 1999 Eagle space ship, measuring over 2 feet long.
        With the lighter fluid again. Was launched, for its final flight,
        out the upstairs window. And yes it was on FIRE !!
        And meet its final resting place, in the driveway.
        I can still remember them screaming. Commander Koenig, and the Dr.
        And what did not parish in similar styles.
        Were sold in mini yeard sales on my proch to kids in the neighborhood.
        And that is how my most of my collection ended up.
        The rest you can guess " Who stole my stuff!! ".

          my megos were always at war,i had planet of the apes,superheros,waltons ,oz etc,and fought gi joes ,big jims,super joes,and other megos that other kids had and always won,because i knew how to fix my figures,to their amazement,one of my guys would get blown up by a fire cracker,and then be back on the front the next day,i had lots of parts,my mego country was called central city,after the town in planet of the apes. the other kids just had to get their folks to buy more,they use to say ,dont go to war,play nice.but loved to come over and try to take on cental city.i had such fun.

            Worst thing I did to my Mego's? Sold them
            Capt. Kirk: "Is there anyone on this ship, who even remotely, looks like Satan?"
            Mr. Spock: "I am not aware of anyone who fits that description, Captain"
            Capt. Kirk: "No, Mr. Spock, I didn't think you would be"

                  I just recalled, I took my Pocket Super Heroes Spider-Man to the park up the street from my parents house. When I got back home, I realized I'd left him. I went back, and some young kid had found him, and was showing him to his mom. I started to say "Hey that's mine", but the kid really seemed to like him, and by that time, I had a Secret Wars Spidey. So I just kept my mouth shut and went home.

                  Man, was I dumb!!!

                  Oddly enough, some time later, I found a Breaker figure from GI Joe:RAH in the woods at the same park. I almost peed on him!!!

                    I remember wanting a Hulk pretty bad....
                    I took my Capt Kirk and started coloring his face with a green marker.
                    Got really nasty, really quick...and did not work out too well and he prolly got pitched.

                      I cut off all of Wonder Woman's hair, destroyed Mary Ellen's dress and stockings, cracked the shoes, and my mother gave all of the rest away to my wretched god-niece, who to this day, denies receiving them.

                        The worst thing I did to my Mego figures is sell them. For a quarter. Clark Kent and the rest for twenty five cents. And his mom threw them away...

                          I had to laugh a little. Not at the situation, but because this reminds me of the anecdotal, "I spent some of it on booze, some of it on women, and I gambled away quite a bit. The rest of it, I just blew.".

                            I was bored one weekend, so I decided to burn a few poor condition 1995 star wars action figures. I placed the action figures in side an incinerator and I let it go from there.

                            I gave a few away earlier that day, so there were a few that were spared. But it was really funny to see them slowly melt. I wish that I had a time lapse camera back then.

                              I remember getting a Fist Fighting Riddler from Child World. I had this bright idea of using masking tape to turn him into the mummy since I could never find the Mego version. I put so much tape on it that it wouldn't all come off. Frank Gorshin would not be proud.

                                The American west and Action Jackson became utility grade customs around the "Challenge of the Superfriends" era. The tool I used the most was permanent marker save for Cochise, who already looked like Apache Chief.
