What are the top 10 Mego discoveries/events in the past 5 years?

[Brue]

Important? Surprising? Appreciated?


What are the top 10?

Here are some thoughts?

Here are a few of the things that come to mind.

Jet Jungle?
BP Formula Racer?
New variations / accessories discovered?
Mattel EMCE World's Greatest Superheroes? other EMCEs
Green Lantern Basa (Fake?)? other Basas?
Bill Maxwell Prototype? - other GAH figures?
CTVT and other repros? (I realize at this point many disapprove of these but remember how it felt to have htem offered to start with)
World's Greatest Toys book
Manetic Superman?
Warehouse discoveries?
Mego Meet
Mego Museum relaunch.
Jousting Horse?
Mego Museum trading Cards?

I'm sure I am missing some minor and even major finds/ events. What are your top? Why?

Basa Robin in original box (The art on the back of that box is to die for)

Jousting Horse. (I want one, two, three )
All the goodies from Mego 1974 Show Room & Toy Fair.
Rudy Zerbi selling his collection.

I'd add the discovery of the Grey Stallion to the list as well.

That would be high on my list as well, but I think there are really only about 4 or 5 of us that care about such things.

Ahh but yes, you are correct. Lili Ledy

I'd go:

1. Mego Museum - I think theis is the engine driving Mego Collecting. in the past 5 years we have seen Brian lead and the return of Scott we have switched from the old forum to the new and grown from a handful of enthusiates to a mammoth force. The museum has brought two other things I though about listing separatly but are really part of the MM. The mergance in 2005 the Mego Meet and the onset of Mego Museum trading cards.

2. Bill Maxwell Proto

3. Jet Jungle (Though I don't group this with other WGSHs since it is really just a promo it is incredible that the figure not only exists but there are more than one and at least one box!)

4. Six Mil $ man head and other Basa Superheroes finds

5. Formula One BP Racer (another promo but absolutely shocking find - interesting it is from a S. African co. - Jet Jungles Origin)

6. Casshan Proto (gain - WOW! but somehow still seems like a cousin to the WGSH rather than a brother)

7. Mattel release of WGSH - and prior EMCE Treks & Apes

8. CTVT - for bringing us complete figures of so many lines and cheap repro parts galore


9. World's Greatest Toys book - brought a TON of excitement and is loads of fun

10. Jousting Horses & covers

Honorable Mention:

Green Lantern LL (exciting BUT I can't rank it higher bc I am not convinced it is authentic)
