Vintage Mego Toy Aisle plus Star Trek News

[RSS]

A very rare picture of an action figure aisle circa 1976 has been added to the MegoMuseum Ad Archive today. Just look at that wonderful World's Greatest Superheroes box bursting in the middle of those G.I. Joe's.

Exciting news from Diamond yesterday, the first original 8" Star Trek figure was unveiled and it's none other than Khan sculpted by James Brady. A truly great sign of things to come, well done EMCE toys!

I've never seen a display box in the wild. That is soooo cool!!!

I didn't even know they existed until I came to the Museum. In fact, I only have some hazy memories of boxed Megos on the shelves of a local Kiddie City.

I saw one once in 1978, it was a later issue box, full of all kinds of heroes I'd never seen before. I had a meltdown and began to cry, worried my mother wouldn't buy me one and I'd never see these guys again.

That WGSH box is dropdead gorgeous. Don't you all wish you had asked the storekeeper if you could have it once it was empty?

I just realised that's from the original release, it only has four heroes on it.

Cool. Bet that picture would look amazing in color. Does anyone nowadays takes pics in todays toy isles showing Star Wars, JLU, TMNT, etc. I doubt it. I doubt anyone did it showing Super Powers, Secret Wars or He-man in the 80's so it's really amazing when we find one of these.

Cool picture. I was amazed not only by the Mego display but all the cool GI JOES as well.
