    Mego Bill Maxwell Prototype Found!

    A startling new discovery today, the Mego Greatest American Hero Bill Maxwell figure, long thought lost is now up for display at the Megomuseum.

    One cannot begin to go on how incredibly cool that 25 years after Mego folded, that stuff like this is still being found.

    Discuss this at the Mego Forum!

        On the regular GAH gallery 8" prototype page, the writing is crazy tiny --- almost unreadable.

              I'm guessing wow is going to be used a lot today. Interesting they gave him a watch. So - who, where, when and how?? Inquiring minds want to know.

                The owner asked not to be publicly named and we're going to respect their wishes. I'm just happy they shared.

                  No problem and we will for sure. I too am happy they shared and it gives us hope of finding another one out there.

                        Holy Poop!!!! Really?!?! What a find and nice job by the eye that spotted it. I do wish we cold get a little back story on where the figure's been all this time, etc. I do respect, however, your respect for the owner.

                          Out of respect for the owner, I'd rather we didn't go there publicly. Suffice to say, it can be traced right back to Mego.

                              and a major coup for the Museum.
