I am asking about the first Mego you had to piece together for your collection? Please dont limit your response to all vintage parts. I'd like to hear about repro parts as well. BUying a MIB Mego in my case is way beyond my means. I'm sure many here have gone the route of chasing the parts through ebay or other venue's
The first Mego I re- assemble to near completion was a Tarzan. I had gotten the body, head and loincloth off of ebay. I added a flesh colored bodysuit from CTVT and later got a repro knife from Doc @ Mego Meet. There was a huge amount of joy as I put the pieces together into a Mego that looked as he would have looked when he came out of the package.
My second was Ironman. In his case. He owes a lot to Doc as I had to get his bodysuit, Gloves, Boots and belt from Paul. The only original part I had was the Head/body and a tattered suit that I could not repair. I tried for months to secure the original missing bit on ebay. Only to be outbid or over bid by others.
Although Ironman is my all-time favorite Mego. Getting that Tarzan together still is a great memory for me of when I started collecting
