SO COOL! Son of Svengoolie (custom) Mego on his show in 1979!

I am a massive horror host fan, and grew up watching Son of Svengoolie. Heck, I probably saw this episode when it aired. Anyway, a weird (and exciting, for me anyway) Mego sighting I thought I would share. With special guests The Fonz, Kojak and The Incredible Hulk!

I wonder what figure they began with for Sven?

I watched this all the time with my dad when I was a kid, I'm sure I saw this episode and most likely went nuts when I saw that Hulk Mego!! Awesome to see this again.

I love watching Sven on Me-TV on Saturday nights!

How many actors played him since then ?

It's not the same guy now, right ?

I am not sure but I think it is the same guy, Rich Koz. Who took over from the original Svengoolie and was named Son Of Svengoolie for a while.

The original Svengoolie was played by Jerry G. Bishop who hosted Screaming Yellow Theater from 1970 to 1973. Rich Koz took over as Son of Svengoolie in 1979 and his show ran until 1986. The show returned in the mid. 90's, with Koz going by just Svengoolie, and has been running ever since.

The original Sven....
