    Age?

    Well I know I am still new to the site but I am really interested in how old the poeple here are. I wanted to see if you played with them or is it just a collection. I am 37 and I had all the Trek Mego stuff and lot of the Ape stuff. I had one Spiderman. I think my dad was into those two shows so he bought me the toys for it. I loved them and have many fond memories palying with them. I have one form my childhood and it a T2 Kirk. I have caught the bug and I am on the hunt for all the stuff I had as a child and then who knows. I saw a few customs and now want Chekov and Sulu and the Gorn made from Hulk. I love that I found this place and look forward to meeting you guys at the Meet. I am from the Northwest Portland Or area. I live in Vancouver just over the River. Cant wait to hear from you guys.

    If you click on the members list you should see what year everyone was born unless they didn't want you to know.

    I'm 28,the only ones i had as a kid that I played with were the Dukes and the Chips but I got into them when I was 8 or 9 and I bought a complete Batman for $25 at a toy show

            Max target age of mego kid = 14 (pre high school)
            Early megos 1971

            today 2008
            -1971+14=51

            min age of meg kids 3
            latest megos on shelves 1984
            2008-1984+3=27


            I am guessingv 98% of the members here fall in this range (the others were probably corrupted by their parent - you know who you are)
            And the
            Median age = 39

            I am 40.5

              I'm 41, and I had Action Jackson and Dancing Lainie as a kid. I knew a lot of guys who had some SuperHeroes though. And I had all the Mego ads I saw during after school cartoons memorized.

                I am 41. I never played with Megos in my childhood. I am not really a collector, but I just love to make clothes/props for these dolls.

                    I am 41 and I've been to Vancouver, WA!

                    I lived and breathed anything superhero when I was a kid, but nothing compared to bringing them to life with my 8" Megos.

                    One the second point, my girlfriend is from northern Idaho, but her father lives in Vancouver so I visted tghere last summer. Very nice place!
