    Megos En La Naturaleza- Tales From A Mexican Flea Market

    I was in Mexico City for a week and convinced my wife to hit a flew market one morning. So, I went to El Tianguis de LaLagunilla and it was actually pretty cool. There was nothing but old, vintage junk and assorted crap. It was awesome. If I wasn't travelling home in a plane, I would bought a ton of stuff. I did, however, find some Mego-related stuff.

    I was able to grab three mediocre Lily Leidys (Supes, Bats and Aquaman) for about $25. Well, Aquaman was a U.S. AM in beat-up Leidy clothes. I also couldn't resist an Ensueno Fred Fabuloso for $20. Nothing great, but it was fun to buy them in their home country. I also grabbed what I think is an Astro Ape head on a Mego body, but I'm not sure.

    The heroes were in the dark in this shot, but you can see them laying with the POTA and 12" Wonder Woman I did not pick up-

    I forgot to take pictures of the other ones at the market, but here they are-

    And, of course, later this week, I'll bore you with pictures of the Hulk at Teotihuacan

          Nice one Bill, I'd imagine that buying Ledys in their home country would feel really cool. I'd love to check out some flea markets in Mexico some day.

                  Did being a U.S. dude with Benjamins hurt your haggling power? Sounds too fun for sure. A Bishop egan guy like myself probably couldn't pull it off. Kudos to your wife for breaking out of her comfort zone(I remember the child beggars in the border towns made me feel like Indy Jones)

                      I so miss those pyramids. Did you climb to the top?
                      That place is amazing. Looking forward to taking my girls there soon. Hulk looks like he is diggin' the sun.
