Getting to Know You (and your Megos)

[sprytel]

1. What is your first name?
Tim

2. What was your first Mego?
Superman, maybe? It was definitely a WGSH

3. What was your last Mego?
Captain Kirk.
I was about 13 at the time... and found one at a flea market. I still remember the awkward request for money from my mom for a toy I was "too old for."

4. What were your Top 3 favorite Megos?
Kirk
Scotty (after Kirk broke, he became Captain)
Captain America

5. What were your 3 least favorite Megos?
Thing
Human Torch
Mr. Myx

6. What was your favorite Mego playset?
Enterprise bridge

7. What was your favorite Mego vehicle/accessory set?
Spider-car

8. What was your favorite Mego line?
Star Trek

9. Was there a Mego line that you wanted to collect but was never able to?
Flash Gordon.
My mom bought the playset on clearance, but I don't remember ever seeing any of the figures on the shelves.

10. What Mego playset did you always want but never had?
Batcave

11. What Mego vehicle/accessory set did you always want but never had?
Bat Cycle.
But when I was a kid, I didn't realize quite what vehicles and playsets were out there.

12. What Mego did you always want but never had?
Star Trek Andorian
I wanted one before I knew it existed. When I finally saw my first one at a Star Trek convention in 1988, it was as if I willed it into existence.

Hi Pat!

5. What were your 3 least favorite Megos?
Mr. Mxyzptlk, Gorn – I never had any interest in the Waltons – can that whole line count as #3? If not . . . OK, speaking sacrilege to some, Conan. Didn't care for the character as a kid, and with the hair flip, he looked like my neighbor's mom when she was angry.

I thought that the Gorn was cool. I pretty much used him as a second Klingon. Conan was a cool figure and one that I never had but even with my imagination, I don't know if I could have fit him in with my WGSH stories. Such an odd choice by Mego.

9. Was there a Mego line that you wanted to collect but was never able to?
Teen Titans! I can still remember a whole display of them at Toy Chest and not being able to talk my dad into picking any up. Finally rectified that thanks to FTC.

Even though they are not branded that way, I consider the Teen Titans part of the WGSH line. I never owned them but I wanted them. And, like you, thanks to FTC I finally have them.

4. What were your Top 3 favorite Megos?

A villain made his way into the favorite section!

Another vote for a fat body! I liked the Catwoman figure. Sure, it didn't resemble the Catwoman that I was familiar with, but I liked it.

[Action Martin]

Hi Ian!

3. What was your last Mego?
CHiPs, 3 3/4 inch, I think

How about of the 8" variety?

Tarzan, Coy and Vance

Yeah, Tarzan would be in my bottom 5.

Justice League

The Hall of Justice?

[Action Martin]

Hi Steve!

While RC Batman was one of my first, the Robin that I got at the same time was not RM.

5. What were your 3 least favorite Megos? Hate to jump on the bandwagon, but Mxy, (if this counts, the little aliens in the Mission to Gamma, Hulk was too short.

Another one for the fat bodies. Sad that Hulk and Thing were short.

9. Was there a Mego line that you wanted to collect but was never able to? pocket heroes. Was considered too old at the time

How about of the 8" variety?

12. What Mego did you always want but never had? Always wanted them to make a Doc Ock or Lex Luthor

How about of the Megos that were actually made?

[Action Martin]

Hi Dwayne!

Your questions are somewhat restrictive

I don't see it that way as there were something like 19 different 8" action figure lines from Mego.

[Action Martin]

Hi Darren!

5. What were your 3 least favorite Megos? maybe a space 1999 figure don't have a least favourite

I didn't even know that there were Space: 1999 Megos until 2007. I used to have the larger ones from...Kenner?

[Action Martin]

How about of the 8" variety?

Soldier Ape was one of my favorites until I got General Ursus.
