New Mego Acquisitions? Got any?

[cjefferys]

Fantastic, congrats! I always wondered how the Canadian horse differed from the Mexican version, so thanks for the comparison pics, that's great!

Nothing earth shattering, but found the mystic Jordache figure at last weekends Daytona Beach Comic Con. The head is SO Dr. Strange; definitely putting him on a 12" body and making a classic Sorcerer Supreme:

Trekstar... you completely right!
I was thinking to buy:
4x of these https://www.collectingwarehouse.com/...oll-Stand-2075
1x https://www.collectingwarehouse.com/...ck-12-x-8-x-12

ARGH.... but shipping to my forwarding address in USA costs a whopping us$47!!!!!

What do you think? Should I make the investment ?

I would go with these:

i would look around elsewhere first, but to protect the SI investment, yet, it is probably worth it

great looking set. congrats on completing it

20 years in the making, and looks to be well worth the wait, these are in great condition, congratulations.
You now need to keep them in some sort of protection.

I am really proud to present to you the realization of my collecting dream ... a dream cultivated for 20 long years: the complete set of ALTER EGO SECRET IDENTITIES !!!

Bruce Wayne once belonged to John Bonavita... I own two mocha heads...one with and one without markings!
Clark Kent and Dick Grayson were acquired by Megozilla in 2018
and Peter Parker was purchased on ebay a couple of months ago!!!

As you can see from the photos they are all in exceptional conditions!!
The PP camera is a Barbie accessory...gently offered by my sister

Those look great! Congrats!

[monitor_ep]

WOW those look brand new, great find.

Growing up I just did not care for those figures, all I wanted was the Super-Heroes/Villains. I did order Clark Kent from CTVT when you had to build him (cost the same).

A terrific set of high-grade figures, thanks for sharing. Great presentation.

I have Tarzan too, and that was a nice pick up for $10.00, you can easily touch up the paint rub yourself, and depending on your preference, you can get a repro Tarzan tan bodysuit and repro black knife from CTVT, and if you have good sewing skills you can fix up the leopard loincloth since it looks in pretty decent shape.

I have also just recently seen a Mego Tarzan tan bodysuit on ebay, can't remember the price, but it was not expensive.

[Nostalgiabuff]

hey, I have Tarzan but for $10 I would not pass it up. nice score

Was at a comic and toy show on Sunday, and picked up my first vintage Mego since getting back into toy collecting. It was a loose, kind of rough Tarzan, but it only ran me $10...



the suit is rough, especially the body suit, and it was missing the knife, but the body itself was very sold, tight joints, stands well, bends nice and easy, so I was happy. It was a type 2...



and it also had a little paint rub on the back of the head...



but I am happy with it for the price.

It was probably going to take a Conan or a Tarzan to get me to take the plunge back into the vintage Mego waters (outside of Micronuts where the bulk of my vintage toy budget goes), and now I have. We'll see what happens now.
