I just joined the community and saw the Mego Museum website for the first time yesterday. I used to have many Mego dolls when I was a kid, but sold them all or they got destroyed and broken during my childhood. I want to say hi to everyone and thank anyone in advance for any help that they may provide.
For starters, I'd like to tell a small story about when I was a kid and how I sort of destroyed the Mummy. I was born in 1970, so my acquiring was done more in the 1975 - 1980 range with figures for Christmas. I had the main Star Trek people, except Uhura from what I can remember. Also a couple of superheroes, a few Planet of the Apes, some Action Jackson, and Frankenstein and Mummy. We'd play with the dolls in strange fashions. Jumping on sticks or sliding them down string across the room. One time I put the mummy on a lampshade. I forgot all about him and his arm melted to the lightbulb. We did manage to get it off, and a spanking for possibly burning down the house, but it's something I'll always remember.
About a year ago, I went to a fair and saw some Mego and probably non-Mego items for sale, real cheap. I came to this website because I had a doll I could not identify, and am pretty sure is a removable mask Robin. He wasn't wearing the Robin outfit, so at first I thought he may have been from a different line. But I compared the photo to the doll and it looks pretty accurate. I also have several outfits that I cannot identify. If I posted pictures, which forum would be most appropriate to show them for someone here to help me identify the items? I have a Zorro looking hat/mask, but is not the one that the Mego Zorro figure has, so I'm unsure where it's from. I also have a couple of outfits that look like pirates, one looks like Blackbeards, but is slightly different from what I see in the photo. So if anyone can point me in the right direction to post photos and possibly help me out, I'd be a happy person.
Somewhere down the line, I'd like to acquire the original monsters in the package or box. I have no figures for my personal collection, so these would be my first. I have to wait till school starts and I begin teaching again in a month to get paychecks though.
Feel free to pm me. Thanks again.
