Captain America completed and carded
I just received my Captain America repro sheild today in the mail. I have since carded him and added to my ever growing collection. I remember as a child fighting with my younger brother over the Megos we received on Chritmas morning 1975. Within 1 hour my brother had broken the handle for caps shield and lost the knife for Tarzan. He is going to visit me this summer from out of town and should be suprised to see how many megos I have restored.

I hear ya! Cap has always been my favorite superhero. His was the first comic book I ever purchased as a child (cover price was 20 cents). Always thought that sheild was WAAAAAY cool! Mego Cap holds a very sentimental place in my heart because my Grandmother surprised me with him one day after school because she knew I REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted one (its a long story but that's the short of it). I've been acquiring Megos this year and building up my collection slowly with the ones I never had as a child. Like you, buying mid grade and fixing them back up. I've been keeping an eye out for a good conditioned Cap at the right price and can't wait to find one.Courage is being scared to death but saddlin' up anyway. - John Wayne -
How good did that feel Relic?? Arming him and then carding the whole beauty all together? Awesome!
Cap is one of the best Megos IMO. Love that toy as much now as I did in 1979.Comment
