Sadly, these guys are rare due to their use of a SuperJoe body, which if you didn't know, distintegrates over a long period of time.
Also added is the famous "Monsters VS The Superheroes" spread from the 1976 Wards catalog when Galoob carried the Monsters line.
These crude little guys can barely stand up but they have a certain charm to them that's hard to resist, like some bad piece of folk art.

Today's Mego of the Day are the wonderfully obscure high flying acrobats The Dare Brothers, an extremely limited release by Mego that proves to be a challenge to collect today.Did you have these guys as a kid or did just find out about them now? Let us know at the Mego Forum.
On Friday, Scott unveiled his breath taking finished version of the Alex Toth Hall of Justice using his Dida (pronounced Dee-Dah) system. Click on the pictures to see more of this amazing set. It's the Hall of Justice you'll wish you had when you were seven....

Mego of the Day for Monday is that kooky cave lady Mada from the One Million BC line, definitely the looker in the bunch. Mada shares a head sculpt with Ma Walton, that's some clever recycling there.
Palitoy (owner of Bradgate) would run with Star Trek for another two years, expanding into the Aliens.

As if we needed more evidence that The Venture Brothers is the best cartoon show ever. Here we have a clip of Doctor Orpheus (who was already my favourite character) which shows that besides being a freelance Necromancer he's a Mego Customizer to boot,Wonderful.
Chris Flagg sent in this happy memory from Christmas 1974, he really hit the jack pot that year with the Mego Batcave playset, Batcycle, Batmobile and Batcopter. What more could a kid ask for?
Thanks Chris! Looks like the folks did a bit of catalog shopping as evidenced by this 1974 JC Penney spread:
Enjoy previous Mego Memories at the Megomuseum, Part 1 and Part 2 are full of vintage coolness. Got a pic to donate? Send it on down!
