Classic TV Toys

Yes they do, i had an order from them at the beginning of December and i've just placed another.

They won't ship to the UK if you buy off Ebay.

Is that direct from there website ? What was the postage like was it reasonable ?Is there a minimum spend ?

Please forgive my "newbie-ism". Should I track down an original T-1 or buy a repro?

Original. There isn't a T-1 repro. T-1 has the rivets in the wrists, knees, and elbows. They use a thinner less muscular upper torso so it's easier to put on the JJ suit from CTVT. It runs a bit small as compared to original mego stuff. Doc's Parker sweater is also like this, it fits well on a T-1 but is snug on a T-2. Since you're going repro he actually looks good with either black or white boots. Black are the ones the original figure came with if you wanna be exact.

I've actually had mixed results from CTVT. I picked up a complete set of the Married with Children figures and had zero problems. I picked up some custom fodder from their website (including the Series 3 Space 1999 figures) and had all sorts of problems. Companion and Sandra Benes were fine (apart from the open seams on Benes's legs). I basically touched the Number 8 and his leg fell off. I picked up Tony Verdeschi and tried to pose him - pop, one leg falls off. Tried to get it back on and the other leg snapped off, leaving Tony as a disembodied torso.

Welcome aboard.

I wanted to share my two cents on CTVT.

I bought a few of their Merry Men and they came quickly and look great. I can't speak to the durability of the plastic, as I leave them displayed in their boxes.

Good luck.

Thanks everyone. I wound up ordering a Jet Jungle repro along with an extra head and uniform.

-they tend to do the pee-pee dance. The legs cross. I'm pretty sure it's 'cos of the metal fixtures: they bend over time (they're really soft metal) resulting in the pose.

I think the problem here is mainly the rubber bands being just a little bit shorter and thus putting too much strain and pulling too hard on the arms and legs, which results in the "I gotta pee" look

Yeah, from the website. I don't think there's a minimum spend but i ordered quite alot of stuff.
I went for the airmail postage and it was about $15-$20 ( £7.50-£10 )but that depends on the weight of the order.

Cheers, will look in to placing an order.

the only problem you might find is broken figures when they arrive, I always have had 1 or 2 when buying loose figures from them. the customer service sucks, so you might have a problem getting replacements. and if they forget to pack something with your order they will only send it out with your next order. still waiting for 2 figures they forgot last summer.

When I placed my order the other day I wasn't even given an option for shipping. They said there were shipping options but there weren't. Then when I made my purchase final they said "you chose FedEx shipping for $8.00". Not that I mind FedEx or UPS as they are both better for me than the USPS but don't advertise shipping options when you don't offer them.

Put the JJ on a T-1 body. The shirt is kinda tight for a T-2. Looks really good when it's done though.

I know, I have my jet right now in a Type 1 body, but in the jungle, he got his hand broken.
Now, a new mego will come out of pain and sorrow!

[bonkers head]

OK placed an order with them ,e mailed to make sure went OK picked airmail option on shipping. Got emailed back to say order will be posted on Monday. Fingers crossed everything arrives in one piece .

[Action Martin]

My Jet Jungle arrived today. He was shipped via USPS Priority Mail for $4, not via FedEx $8. I'm a little peeved. Jet does look cool though. As his legs are super tight. I can see what you all mean by the eventual pee-pee dance.

I got my CTVT order today and I must say I am quite happy.
I ordered a body with clothes and a glow in the dark body as well as some other accessories. I really like the bodies.
On top of that, they sent me a broken body with glow in the dark monster hands for free.
I can see why the early bodies broke. Cheap plastic but for the newer bodies, they look pretty rigid. The $8 shipping was worth since I got the package in 3 days.
Now I'm just awaiting my Doc Mego order and still waiting for MegoStore order.
Just curious, what's the average wait time for an order at MegoStore? Haven't received my November order yet. I got my DVDs in a few days but the figures parts I ordered haven't shown up.
