Topless Robot - 6 Awesome '70s Toys Only Foreigners Got

I wrote this piece for Village Voice Media and thought it would be of interest seeing as it's 90% about Mego. I apologize if you already checked this out through PS, just spreading the mego love.

Very well written Brian lucky Foreigners Got some pretty cool stuff

That's great Brian, but where's Havoc? I think she should be in there somewhere!

[megoscott]

Good stuff, boss. I like how you've adopted a snarkier voice for the topless robot audience.

Mego geek alert: Zorro was 77, I believe.

Thats awesome thanks for sharing.I find myself now craving a mighty mightor???

Well those crazy foreigners can keep thier tartan skirt lovin' bagpiper and lame-azz zorro. But I can't believe North America dropped the ball on Battle of the Plant figures, Dr. Who, the mighty Mightor and Ultraman. those are some cool toys indeed.

The United States is a land of plenty when it comes to just about everything: food sizes, guns, fat people, and even toys.

Nice write-up

Question:
I've NEVER seen a non green Mighty Mightor.
Do any exist ?

I wrote this piece for Village Voice Media and thought it would be of interest seeing as it's 90% about Mego.

BUT as you've only mentioned Denys Fisher, Popy, Pin Pin and the like, only those who know their relationship to Mego would know that the list is so pro-Mego.

I love that Ultraman. I would have loved to have access to an Ultraman when I was a kid. Heck, I want it now!

Brian, I noticed that you included the Popy Ultraman figure. I was just curious why there was no mention of the Ultraman Leo figure that came on a T1 body.

Good stuff, boss. I like how you've adopted a snarkier voice for the topless robot audience.

That's the MO over there, some times they inject "extra snark" into my stuff.

whoops!

Pretty much because it was the same subject matter, I didn't want to duplicate.

The Ultraman and Zorro are pretty awesome. But good lord I want that Battle Of The Planets figure set!! I've never seen that before
