2020 Collecting Goals

[VintageMike]

That's a tough and easy one, all at the same time. For Mego #1 is always to add to my carded WGSH collection. I'd say right now Falcon, Riddler or Conan are doable. Not opposed to finishing by boxed set off with Isis and/or Conan as well. It's a "The more I get, the less I need" syndrome. Outside of Mego I sold off the last my first movie Star Wars figures on ESB cards and want to get them on "Star Wars" cards. Already obtained a Ben Kenobi so I have 8 of the original 12 (but don't care about 12 backs as long as it's a first movie card)now. Outside of toy collecting my online wrestling museum has taken on a life of it's own, particularly on social media. My main focus is there as I've found it very fulfilling and I feel I have a responsibility beyond myself now, to the people who are following it. So getting more items for that, especially special ones is a priority.

It's been a very intense year-way too many serious life adjustments. I have used my collecting to fill the void. I am about to become current with most of the Mego, New Mego, FTC lines that I collect. I have a list of customs that I will probably never complete in my lifetime but I will give it a shot. Learning and adjusting many of my skills and fabrication knowledge-setting myself up for new challenges. I may even start considering winnowing the herd of other collectibles-if the time and the pricing is right. That's all for now!

* Mezco One 12 superheroes and Popeye
* Sideshow 1:6 Superman and Blitzway 1:6 Zorro
* FTC new releases
(Ok, most aren't Megos but Mego Like but that's what I want)

I think my biggest goal this year is just to organize what I already have. I have so much stuff is boxes in my basement, I loose track of what I have, or can't easily find it when I want to display it.

Amen to that. I have carded mego Trek and Super Powers I haven't found a display for. I did most of my pairing down over the past years. Honestly if I retired from collecting I would be happy with what I got.

… the on-going effort to discover and bring glory to the bootlegs, factory oddities, undiscovered curiosities, et alia Apes across the planet continues!

This leads – as studio space demands – to the inevitable release of more simians and other toys from Ape City back into the world.
It's still a fun reciprocal subculture despite the madness of humanity around us.

No major goals this year. Going to continue with all the new Megos I’m interested in. I’ll probably pick up a few Necas and FTC figures, as well. This year, I did pick up the Wizard of Oz set, which I had always considered, but as far as vintage goes, I pretty much have everything I want.

[batdan]

Over the past year I have greatly expanded my collection, what with the remergence of Mego itself, adding more FTC wants-especially the TV batman series. I have also knocked off about 15 customs. This year will prove to be mor eof the same as Mego has a bunch of new 8" releases coming up soon and I ordered some FTC stuff over the holidays that is just starting to show up now. I currently have 25+ customs on the go and plans for many more- may have to start putting shelves in the bathrooms!

[Bronxboykev]

Somehow someway I will find me a boxed Popy Ken Owashi!!! A Box For Tex Willer. The Elusive Luc Laventure and as always looking for loose lots of beater Mego to make great again!!!

[ScottA]

Big main goal is to finish my WGSH box set - just needing Conan and Green Goblin.

Try to find a silk screen Supergirl.

Other things are replace my loose Megos - Knights, Pirates, American West, Monsters & Robin Hood.

Looking for the CAH Wonder Woman Exploding Tower MIB and the Batcycle in the photo box.

Also looking for some toys from my childhood - Marx Johnny West, SMDM, GI Joe.

[Jorge Galvan]

for me, MORE Golden Age books!!

More H-B toys from the 60's and 70's!!

[Earth 2 Chris]

I need to upgrade a few figures. My Hulk and Thing are pretty rough. I still need a Wayne Foundation and Jokermobile, but both are probably out of my budget.

[Gorn Captain]

I would finally like to complete a few lines.
Galahad, Catwoman, Shazam, Aquaman, Conan come to mind.
Would love to get some more Cipsa apes. Will probably not happen...

I will go on the hunt for these in a couple of months, as I have one particular vintage piece I need to save up for first...
