Mego Buck Rogers Commercial

Another fave of mine, the Buck Rogers line.

Black Hole Action Figures Commercial

Mego Commercials for a Wednesday

In an effort to combat post holiday blahs, we're going to post some new Mego videos all this week, starting with these two commercials. The above commercial for the Mego Star Trek the Motion Picture ship line of toys (which are quite rare) and the below ad for the mega rare Micronaut vehicles Ampzilla, Sharkos and Lobstros. Enjoy!

The Mego Museum Interview with Product Manager Harvey Zelman

Recently, we at the Museum were lucky to be contacted by Mr. Harvey Zelman, former product manager for Mego, who was game to share his experiences. Mr. Zelman had his hand in much of Mego's output during his six year tenure and he answered many nagging Mego collector questions (Like why are the Flash Gordon figures 10 inches tall?)

It doesn't end with Mego. Harvey is also the man responsible for a pop culture phenomenon, read for yourself.

Comment on the story in the Mego Museum Forums.

Black Knight asks What was your best custom of 2006?

Merry Christmas from the Midwestern Mego Collectors Association.

Hope you enjoyed our advent calendar as much as we enjoyed doing it, Happy Holidays from the Mego Museum!

More German Mego Discoveries

Thanks again to ever gracious Gerhard, we have a wonderful German catalog spread for the Mego Knights featuring the very rare jousting horse. As an added bonus, Gerhard shares with us that the Knights were marketed in a unique fashion in Europe.

Journey into the Black Hole

Today's update was submitted by Gerhard, a gallery of Italian ads for the Mego Black Hole line. Many of the products GIG marketed were European only not to mention very cool, so check it out.

The Final Mego Star Trek Card: The Andorian

I think Scott describes this card better than I could: We've come in on the epilogue after the fight with the Andorian. It's as classic a Star Trek moment as they come: Kirk triumphant and smug, Spock and McCoy trading humorous barbs about Vulcan logic, cue music and closing credits...

For information on how you can receive a free set of Mego Museum Star Trek trading cards, send an email to tradingcards to get on the mailing list! We will notify you when the cards are ready to go. Keep checking in this month for more views of the upcoming card set.

Todd does Hawkman a little Mego Justice with this wonderful custom.

Mugato Attack!

Hot Damn! If these cards weren't getting cooler, Scott had to put a good old fashioned Monkey fight into the mix. The Mugato, is another cool card made out of a regrettably dressed Mego Star Trek Alien. Enjoy!

There are five more updates left!

Check out Anthony's groovy 60's Batman two pack.

Crossing into the Mego Neutral Zone

From the control room of a Romulan Bird of Prey comes the new Mego Museum Star Trek trading card.

Mego Captain Kirk kicks a little butt

We're unveiling the aliens this week with the ultimate Trek baddie, The Klingon. Scott has played a little with the format and wow, I'm glad he has. As he puts it "the Aliens exist for one reason: So Kirk could have someone to kick in the ass." Check it out here.

I'm loving this cool Doc Savage Custom, Russ has done his custom, A Gwen Stacey that captures her very well and this Clint Eastwood is near perfect.

Holy Magnetics Batman!

A cool update to the advent calendar today, shots of a carded GIG Magnetic Batman. For those not in the know, lucky European kids got Superheroes that had the same features as the Micronauts . Carded examples are few and far between so we're excited to be able to feature this.

This week's custom Spotlight is this killer Cathy Lee Crosby as Wonderwoman, the movie may have been regrettable but there is nothing wrong with this detailed custom!

The Logical Next Step in Mego Trading Cards

You really can't have Kirk without Spock so today's Mego Museum Trading Card reveal is a real no brainer. Personally, I think Scott has done another outstanding job of capturing the essence of what the figure is about but judge for yourself.

Want to know how you can get these cards? Check the page for a new announcement.
