Some examples of figurines covered:

This book is not the reference of the Mego production. But as the books on this subject are limited, I wanted to let you know.

Cool to see this.

Is this a MEGOlike.com production? I instantly recognized photos from megolike.com in the AHI section. Maybe the AMIGO also? any others?

Zero permission was given by Megolike or Plaidstallions for those images.

That is just so f'ed up, I don't even know where to begin.

It's basically a glorified word document, I'm not that ticked off. As someone who has a 20 year background in publishing however, it bugs me to see such sad tactics.

I've had many different publications seek photos and information and I've always happily agreed and provided high resolution imagery. All you gotta do is ask.

I've got plans to produce more collector books of this ilk when Rack Toys is finished.

[sauce]

True, it looks horrible and I wouldn't buy it anyhow.

I hear you on the permission thing, though if it were me I would still contact Amazon and alert them, at least. They may not want to be associated with digital theft.

Well.......Seems to understand the legalities of it all. Hmmmmm....also seems to want others to respect his hard work. He just doesn't extend that gratitude to others. Makes sense to me.

It's basically a glorified word document, ....

I might add a poorly written one at that. Reads like an unedited first draft of a fan webpage. Nice to see some love for old toys; not so nice to leave the credits and references out.

[vulcan2074]

Thats a real shame.

As much as I love being reminded of so many beloved toys, it is very poorly written. It's also just plain wrong in the few areas I read. That made me not want to continue with it. It feels like he did little research and simply speculated- AJ "was probably meant to compete with Mattel's Big Jim"???

What a worm.
