New Mego fan!

[cokehed1]

Hi Everyone!

I love your place here. I am a new Mego collector ! I have become a "collector" for my three year old, Jason. I have focused on only the 12" figures so far. I have a Hulk, Superman (Chris Reeve), Spiderman, Batman magnetic and Robin magnetic. I wish they made more in the 12" line.

Anyway,
Thanks for having me and I look forward to reading up on everyone's posts.

Dave

Welcome Dave!

I assume you mean more 12" superheroes - because there's still 12" Trek, Buck Rogers, and Black Hole to get (not to mention Lex Luthor and Zod).

Sure. On the username, I work for Coca-Cola so I always have coke on my mind.

SPAMN - Thanks for the correction. Yes, superheroes is what I meant. I did forget about Lex and Zod. They are on my list but a little rare. Again, I am only looking for cheap ones since they will actually be played with.

BTW - I am a HUGE fan of Superman 1 and Superman 2 the Donner cut with Chris Reeve. I do want Lex, Zod and Jor-el way more than my son does, i'm sure!

Welcome to the museum.

Hi Dave. Welcome. I have two little ones who enjoy their Megos and Retro-Actions, too.

I do want Lex, Zod and Jor-el way more than my son does, i'm sure!

I have the ones I keep for display, and a few "beaters" for the kids. All win

Welcome aboard Dave....It's great your doing this with your son...my son loves Mego as much as me

Don't forget the 12" Wonder Woman line.

[samurainoir]

Welcome. I love the 12" Superhero line as well. To me, they are just as synonymous with Mego as the 8" counterparts. However, most of them are in pieces due to childhood play, but I've managed to replace them over the years.

I still have pieces of my childhood 9" Robin that accompanied my 12" Batman, but he's rather difficult to replace out of all of them.

And I forgot to mention the Mego 12" Captain America. They've been pretty cheap on ebay recently. Too bad his noggin is so huge.

There's also a cloth outfit 12" Flash and Aquaman from the 90's that's somewhat Mego-esque, if you squint. Can't find any pictures or any on ebay of Flash at the moment, though. I can't imagine they'd cost you more than a loose, played with 12" Mego Supes or Spidey.

Of course, Aquaman has a beard and the hook hand, rather than the classic look, but it's a good way to fill out your 12" JLA.

Welcome Dave to the fabulous Mego Museum. I do hope that you enjoy your stay here and have lots of fun at the same time.

Being a BIG Mego fan I have the complete 12" Mego line as well. I just do not play with mine as they are in pristine condition. I still do not quite understand why the 12" are not worth more for a 70's toy. That is cool that you can enjoy the hobby with your kids.

I kind of figured that you may have something to do with Coca Cola when I first seen your user name. My gf would love you as she is a BIG Coca Cola fan. We go out almost daily to thrift stores, antique malls, resale shops and what have you in search of some more Coke items to add to her ever growing Coca Cola room.
