<\/center><\/p>\nNone of these guys are in my collection anymore. This is a historical photo from the Rhatigan family archives.<\/i><\/p>\n
It\u2019s all about Mego, baby.<\/strong> As I\u2019ve been putting more stuff up for my big auction on eBay<\/a>, I realized that I should do a little research about some of the more obscure Mego items I had floating around.<\/p>\n Please tell me you know about the Mego superhero dolls. They were the cornerstone of my childhood, my favorite toys throughout elementary school. Being cursed with an overactive imagination, I refused to play with any of my toys as they characers they were sold as, so I made up all new characters for every onbe of them. What was great about the Mego dolls, aside from their excellent flexibility, was the fact that you could swap around all their costumes and accessories to form exciting new combinations.<\/p>\n Well, when I went hunting around for some background on the Mego dolls, I stumbled onto the motherlode of all Mego sites<\/a>. I spent hours and hours poking around there, not just looking at the almost complete picture archive of all the dolls, but also checking out the incredible<\/strong> galleries of customized Mego dolls<\/a> made to look like almost every other comic and sci-fi character around.<\/p>\n Another exciting, one much closer to my own Mego experience was SmallNet<\/a>, a group of people who\u2019ve transformed their Mego figures onto whole universes of their own characters. \u201cYou are big, but we are small!\u201d The photo-documentary of the Rocket to the Roof<\/i> mission was particularly fun. It produced many smiles here in the Rumpus Room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" None of these guys are in my collection anymore.
