    Megolike in the wild

    Found these on the pegs today. Brought a smile to my face.

    Wow, I'm blown away. Cant believe my eyes. I would not have imagined seething clothed pirate figures on the pegs in this day and age. Especially with no movie to tie in to. What store were they at?

        I wonder if they are old stock or made in 2015. They are Paco Pirates, right? Very cool picture, thanks!

            Last time my parents were there, they picked a set up for me. The store is (was?) a real Ben Franklin, too. Talk about time traveling...

              I just had a chance to check the packaging. They are $7.99 and don't have any dates on the packaging. I am guessing they are just old stock.

                  I saw these as well not too long ago. I bought about 4 or 5 of them. No identifying marks of any kind really

                      Went back to Hilton Head a couple of weeks ago, and found Paco pirates in three different locations. There were still some at the Salty Dog general store pictured last year, as well as a Harbor Town gift shop and Hilton Head Hardware.

                        cool
                        and are these vintage or a re-make type figure?

                          As far as I know Paco has been around since the 90s. These are probably from a later batch post 2000. They were also sold at Seaworld

                            That's really neat! The kid in me loves to see toys in gift shops, especially if they are Mego-like!

                              That is so cool! I would have snapped up one of each had they been near me!
