    New Mego Discovery! Jessica from Logan's Run Head Sculpt




    The Mego line of action figures based on the television series "Logan's Run" has haunted many a collector. The toyline was cut before toyfair 1978 (due to the series cancellation) and only a handful of factory samples of the figures exist.

    While the Mego Museum has uncovered the figures of the male cast, the Jessica 6 (played by actress Heather Menzies) action figure has yet to be seen, despite rumours that it rests in a private collection,

    While we still don't have an image of the completed figure to share with you, thanks to a former Mego employee, we do have images of a factory test pull of the Jessica head sculpt.

    Wow! The museum continues to do the Indiana Jones thing and dig up some unknown Mego artifacts! I know this must have been a personal triumph for you as well Brian. Congrats!

        Great find !!! In your case I would try and make a copy, root it, maybe get a Cher or WW body, and get one of the Guys to make U some clothing. Amazing addition to your collection.

                It's amazing that stuff keeps being found. Super cool.
                You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                  What a great discovery! It is awesome that things like this continue to surface, all these years later.

                    That's really neat !!!

                    When I first seen the sculpt I thought it was a little iffy but after the mock-up hair and eyes picture it began to chime.

                      Now it is entirely too bad that the Logan's Run figures were never given a chance and were simply destroyed. I would, in my old age like to own one.

                      The mockup providing the hair and make up were a good likeness to Heather Menzies, but I'd really like to see the cast of the movie as well. Michael York, Jennie Agutter and the other guy (I can't think of his NAME!) would be excellent.

                      Was this supposed to be in 8 inch scale or 12 inch? I'd rather see them in 8 inch, with the jointed female body for the Jessica 6 figure.

                        Very interesting forensics! Love how these things are being brought to the surface with I'm sure no small amount of detective work...

                          The negotiation to even get this photo taken was....Kissinger worthy. Seriously, it took five years.
