Childworld 1975 : Mego Star Trek Ad

[RSS]

For the remainder of the week, we'll be looking at some wonderful clippings from a 1975 newspaper circular for Childworld in 1975 with it's wonderfully recoloured Mego Reproduction Art. First up is Mego Star Trek which was the big star of 1975 for Mego. Check back everyday this week for a new piece from this flyer.

Ouch! Five of the seven lines of copy are hyphenated. Work like that would get me fired : )

Was thinking the same thing. I need a custom sickbay bed with that funky monitor.

I'm guessing the one on the right is McCoy (in sickbay?), but drawn he looks more like Sulu

Some other ads (Sears Christmas Wishbook) also refer to the set as including sickbay. I remember as a kid wondering where the heck sickbay was intended to be when I got my first bridge set for Christmas in 76!!?

....Maybe it was in that little closet beside the transporter?

WOW, I love stuff like this!

This looks like a direct trace of the box photograph. I wonder if this came from Mego's repro pack or was done by the store's art dept...

Right now that area is the sick bay on my Enterprise playset. Bones is doing a consult w/ the Cheron and my Tamar from Zolton guy!

Press a button and ANY Star trek action figure appears......wow is that like a bottemless bucket of megos attached...i'd be pressing that button for days man.
