I just thought they were Super-heroes. I didn't know the distinction between Marvel or DC at first and assumed they were all together.
As I got older and my Mego's were gone I would refer to them as those clothed super hero figures. Then I discovered the company name Mego.
I thought it was pronounced like Lego with an M.
Then I discovered the Museum and it all fell in to place.Comment

Action Jacksons and Lainie. But I knew what company made them. I was really into the commercials."Do you believe, you believe in magic?

Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic

I called them my Super Hero Dolls. In fact, I called any so called "action figure" with removable clothing a "doll"--GI Joe dolls, Big Jim dolls etc etc. Any smaller figure like star wars without removable clothing I called action figures....I don't know anybody back in the day who referred to them as Megos.....Comment

i think i just called them "guys", and i really don't remember making the connection treks, apes, and wgsh were all made by the same company, i think i just thought that's how all "big" toys were made, i never mixed joes, big jim, or even megos... but i guess i was just to young to realize a compamy made toys, they just came from the store and that was that
then micronauts was just a different kind of toy because they had all the connecting parts, i thought of them more like an erector set or something
then i saw star wars action figures and i just couldn't understand why they were so small and didn't have clothes. it wasn't until all of the star wars vehicles and play sets came out that i got why they were so small
i'm speaking of being like age 3 to about 10, after that i found out about different toy makers and whatnot...from then on i knew my favorite toys were called me-goes

I called them whatever my mom, sisters, and brothers would call them, their 'names' for my toys are what I can still hear in my head:
"Superheroes" "Apes" "Star Treks" "He-Man Guys" "Army Guys" "Monster Men" "Men" "Robots"...etc...etc...
My brothers circa 1975: "No WAY dude, you think those 'Ape Guys' would have a chance against my 'Japan Robots'??
There is a shot of my brother Pete at age 8 or so (he is in his late 40s now..) and he has a big milk moustache and is standing in front of his Joe/AT stuff. I remember being small and thinking that the jeep/tank was the size of a friggin CHAIR, and will never forget the story that my mum likes to tell about how they (Pete and Dan) put a few of their AT Joes into the DRYER to simulate some kind of "mission"....their flocking gave-way and the plastic malformed...my brothers were CRUSHED and cried their eyes out for their 'fallen comrades'!Comment
