About the book
Star Trek The Original Series 365 is the definitive, authorized guide to Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry’s groundbreaking television program that first aired from 1966 through 1969 and went on to become a cultural phenomenon. A visual celebration of the original voyages of the Starship Enterprise, the book covers the entire series in unprecedented detail, combining in-depth commentary, behind-the-scenes histories, and interviews with writers, cast, and crew, with synopses for each of the series’ 79 episodes.


In addition to a wealth of never-before-seen images and newly commissioned photography, Star Trek presents a treasure trove of remastered stills from the CBS archives—bringing to vivid life the famous five-year mission of Captain Kirk, Mister Spock, Doctor McCoy, and count­less other beloved characters for old and new fans alike.

Mego Museum's "The Wrath of Khan-Test"

Celebrating the release of EMCE Toys newest Star Trek figure Khan, we've decided to have a contest.

First Prize: An EMCE Khan figure! This new 8" figure features a wonderful sculpt by James "Captain Dunsel" Brady and new packaging artwork by Mego alum Harold Shull, the man who made much of the original packaging so appealing.

This Figure is available at Planet X stores and at Dr.Mego's website.

Second and Third Prize: A Megomuseum mini poster, a selection of cards and stickers.

What do you have to do? Toughen up your Kirk!

That's right, take an action photo of your mego (or EMCE) Kirk and tell us why he can kick Khan's butt. Do whatever you want, be creative, use photoshop if you can, use the 3" movie Kirk, or even just use this photo but give us a good reason why Khan won't be stealing the Enterprise Playset anytime soon.

One entry per person at the Mego Forum

Contest Closes at 9pm EST on Friday October 31st.

Mego Museum Announces the 1978 Re: Imagine Project

Presenting 1978 Re: Imagine, the latest endeavour from the Mego
Museum.

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

•Concept art (illustration, graphic design, computer generated imagery)

It's all your call: Team up and collaborate. Design, create, present ideas in the 1978 Forum. Every one can be a part of 1978.

Guidelines will be posted on the Mego Museum Forum this week and the winners will be selected this February 20th (just in time for Toy Fair) by a team that will include former Mego employees. The contest will be adminstrated by Dave McCormick and Brian Heiler. Selected submissions will be photographed by World's Greatest Toys Author Benjamin Holcomb and Mego Museum artist Scott Adams and put into a Mego style product catalog, the first publication from Megomuseum.com, which will be sold Summer 2008. Proceeds to fund future Mego Museum projects.

This is your chance to create the toys we've all wanted Mego to make and get them approved by the Mego creative staff themselves!

Reimagine 1978 with the Mego Museum!
