New Guy Here.

[Action Burt]

Hello to all you Mego guys

Just dropped in to say hi, from the UK.

Im mainly an Action Man collector and trader but Iv been looking for a new thing to collect and Mego could be it

I used to have a few Planet of the ape, star trek and a battered Captain America figure as a kid.
My passion was rekindled recently with an impulse ebay win of a mego Starsky and Hutch, my favorite TV show of all time.

Iv been told they are slightly rarer.. and came in a double pack, having different waistcoat and shoes, but its all new to me I have a lot of learning to do in the mego world.

I also have the only Action Man reflocking service currently in the UK and do a lot of customising and restoration on vintage Action Man
Iv seen a lot of cool stuff on here like the Jim Rockford figure......helpfully Ill be able to contribute once I get a few mego figures to work on.


While I await the arrival of Dave and Ken I found this site and here I am

Welcome aboard!

You're right about the UK S&H, they came in a unique two pack or on their own cards, either way, UK Hutch has a (Very cool) leather vest and Starsky can have weird variations like Space:1999 boots.

Nice to see another Brit.

Winds of 90mph.
Anyway stay indoors and enjoy your stay.

Welcome aboard as well! I to am new to the board, have lurked for a bit though. As my name implies I love these toys, figures what have you. Growing up, I had so many of them, I kept them in the boxes and had I known how valuable they would be become, would have kept them. My parents moved me around so much that it just became a hell of alot easier to throw things out than to pack them up. I hold tons of resentment towards them for it. In any event, I started collecting them a few years ago with my only son and we have a decent little collection in his room. (We won't be throwing these out any time soon)

Hi Action Burt! I see they got you signed up lickety split!

Why, I'm just going to post an Action Burt custom job that I had done last year...

Introducing: The Kristofferson...





All vintage GI Joe. The jacket and shirt were dyed in a more modern colour palate (by me).

Please overlook the eyebrows -- he sat too close to the fire.

Hi Joe, the Kristofferson is still looking good, I wouldn't worry about the eyebrows as the real Kristofferson doesnt have any either

I look forward to getting some megos so I can try my hand at them.

In the meantime I might post a few pics of my vam handiwork in the non mego section.
