Author of Mego 8-inch Super-Heroes: Worlds Greatest Toys! Benjamin Holcomb Interview

[aquatroy]

Benjamin Holcomb was interviewed on the World of Toys podcast. Scroll down to "Episode 2 - Mego 8 Inch".
Really nice interview. The pure Mego love really comes through.

Cool. I once met Holcomb at a toy show in West Virginia. You know, he was a real regular guy. Much cuter than his 8" custom

Cool listening now!

Cool. I forgot about that interview. Thanks for posting a link!
It's weird to listen to oneself, and particularly because I had almost lost my voice when I did that interview. I sound... froggy.

The interviewers were really cool, and it was a blast to talk to two guys who remember Mego so vividly, yet aren't currently active collectors. I wouldn't doubt if they become collectors soon, though.

BTW, does anyone have a link to the Women's Day "Super City" plans? I also forgot I'd promised to look that up for one of the interviewers. Any help would be appreciated.

I think Mitch had one not sure if he still does after he had problems with his site.

Very cool B. You should go to the World of Toys forum and check out the feedback from the interview. Myself, I hope they have you back and you can talk about the other "World's Greatest" lines. I'm a big fan of the Knights. I would also like to hear your thoughts on Mego Customizing.

BTW, I'm also interested in the Super City plans. It would be great if a link could be posted.

Here's a link to an online article about the Supercity with some pics, but not the entire blueprints. Comics 101: Scott Tipton's Comics 101

Mitch has provided us with all the Supercity plans but the preservation society relaunch is on my "too do" list, for now, you have a couple of choices.

click on that and change the numbering all the way to 28.

I also have a (Massive) pdf I can send via adrive.com to folks.
