The Mego Museum is turning back the clock to 1978 and asking YOU to join the Research and Development department. Show us what lines you'd make. Would it be a new series of World's Greatest Superheroes or would Planet of the Apes make a comeback? A fourth wave for Star Trek or a new line from the 1978 TV season? Did Mego grab the Star Wars license just in time? What changes were in store for the Micronauts?
The goal: To create a 16 page color catalog which illustrates our
collective fantasies of what Mego might have been in 1978 and to
showcase the creative ingenuity of the Mego Community through:
•Custom action figure projects (New or previously created--We want
to showcase the best, most Mego-like customs)
•Original package design
A bit of toy insider history today with this staged toy store shot from Licensing Corporation of America (LCA) who in 1977 handled the DC comics Superheroes. This four page ad, meant to entice toy manufacturers into licensing the heroes, shows the top licensors at the time which means lots of Mego product in the mix.
