    Harold Shull, Art Director for Mego Toys in the 70s

    Hiya guys,

    My name is Harold Shull and I use to be the Art Director of Mego Toys way back in the early 70s when the likes of The Micronauts and Star Trek were born at Mego. For some time now I have been wanting to stop in and say hello. Because if it weren't for you guys Mego's classic toy lines would fade away into history but thanks to Brian and you people, Mego's influence to the toy field should survive and be healthy for quite some time. Thanks. My career has taken a few turns in the road. Right now I am working for an advertising agency in NYC, painting book covers and taking on portrait commissions... nothing as exciting as Mego Toys though.

    I will be stopping in many times now, so if you have any questions about Mego that I can answer for you just post them. As for my on-going career, you can catch up to me here:

      WOW! Hello! I'm checking out your website now. Great Scott! Amazing work you've done! And boy is it awesome to see Gorn and Khan and the others among your landscapes and portraits. :-)

      Cheers!

                  cool,since i was a kid i have always admired your work on mego cards,and i was really tickled when the retro-megos came out and saw your new art on the star trek cards and dark shadows etc.i was hoping you would do universal monsters,the artist who did them was good,but i missed your touch,i would like to see more,to bad bif bang pow doesnt use your talent,would be so much better then pictures of the figure,i just want to say welcome and your work is fantastic!,millions of kids saw your work when they bought a mego,its what caught my eye back then,use to cut the pictures out of the card and put them in a scrap book,thank you
