Hi Mike!



What about of the 8" variety?

Honestly any of the 8" I had or a friend had I loved. If I had access to the full line of WGSH I may have felt differently. But anything outside of the six I mentioned and Shazam was a find, even the maligned Penguin, who my friend had boxed.
The closest thing I had to a "least favorite" was Uhura as she had no defined role in any of the Mego adventures. She was just "there" along with the rest of the Trek crew. I didn't dislike here but probably wouldn't have noticed if I didn't have her.

I would really love to do this poll, but I really wasn't into Megos as a kid, and all I had were 2 AJs and Lainie. But I did love watching those commercials after school.

I think that it's so cool that you never had Megos as a child but collect them now. What was the appeal that got you into collecting them?

[Action Martin]

Hi Mike!

5. What were your 3 least favorite Megos? Strictly from a play standpoint any of 3 3/4 buck rogers I had because I remember I seem to remmeber them breaking under heavy play

What about of the 8" variety?

[Action Martin]

Hi John!

9. Was there a Mego line that you wanted to collect but was never able to? Muhammad Ali
12. What Mego did you always want but never had? 12 inch Jor-el

How about of the 8" variety?

[Action Martin]

They didn't. It's just something as a child I wanted them to make for the ST figures. Though they did apparently plan one for STTMP but ended up not releasing it.

So what was the one vehicle that Mego actually made that you wanted but never got?
