The Top Ten Most Needless Action Figure Additions

Is a and Meho-loving Heston fan, a fan from Mexico that collects Mego knock-offs?

Hmmmm....

Kromedome rules! WOOOO!!!!!

As an aside.... I have NO IDEA where my weird Kromedome fixation comes from. He's one of my all time fave characters now. (And I never even had one as a kid.)

Great article although I have to admit, I am a fan of the Neptunian.

Hehehe, that was fun, thanks Brian

Great article. I have to admit to owning a Chopper figure when I was a kid. But never had Starsky and Hutch. My parents probably picked him up cheap.

While I can take credit for a couple of errors in that, I didn't write "Meho", must have been my editor.

As for Jim Bob, I've watched about six minutes of the Waltons in my life. It was cringe worthy and over the top as the Waltons proved they weren't racist.

I'm....challenged. It just now hit me that "Meho" was a typo for "Mego." Too much alcogol for breakfast I guess.

Three of my favourite Megos are on that list - how dare you?

OK, so i'm kidding, although I do like the naiveity of the Astronaut and nobody wears a sweater like Chopper does. Thinking about it, I wonder if Choppers sweater was ever influenced by the famous Starsky cardigan and if there is a link anywhere between the two.

That was hysterical, thanks Brian.

I was definitely one of those kids, who was so dazzled with the apes figures, I ignored the fact that the astronaut was so generic. I simply reasoned that he was a different astronaut, as if there were ones turning up constantly on the Planet of the Apes.

I agree but I still love the Neptunian. How about the Uncle Owen and Aunt Berue from Star Wars??? Lame. I would like the charred version, did they ever do that???

[Marvelmania]

Very fun read and I agree 100% on the Neptunian!

[boywondermax]

Awesome.

What's a "Meho-loving Heston fan?" I think you missed an opportunity at comic gold by not exploring why there was a grandma and grandpa Walton but no Jim Bob. Seriously, no Jim Bob? I can see leaving out Chachi or Ike Godsey or cousin Oliver or that brat Nelly, but no Jim Bob? Come on.
