Hey! It's live now.

One of my favorite lines, it really scratched the "Mego itch" I had at the time and I loved getting the Phantom.

I customized my Phantom & Dracula figures' clothes a bit, and my mother made an accurate all-black duplicate of the Dracula cape for Phantom. I've killed the resale value of those but cherish them all.

You showed these off well, but question: What's on Wolfman's head?

[palitoy]

I don't know! Some kind of weird plastic schmutz, I've seen it on Star Wars figures, it will be removed.

^I've cleaned that off some figures' vinyl limbs with 70% isopropyl alcohol.

Oh excellent, I'm drinking that right now.

It's smoother with grenadine.

A line that I feared/coveted from the shelves of our local Dollar General (Remco must have had some sweet relationship with Dollar General). To this day I have never owned any of these, but I hear them calling. Great video, and thanks for all the Halloween content this year! I know more is on the way, which helps with post-Halloween depression.

Loved the video, and now it makes me want to take up once again trying to complete my collecting of this line MIB. My bank account is frowning, lol.

That was great!
So many cool lines I missed out on back in the day. I was just the wrong age. Just getting out of toys. I only picked up a few Star Wars things.
