Trey, I'm always blown away by your videos. I love that you know all the artists on the packaging and you're not afraid to give others credit (you gave yours truly a shout out one time). I smiled as you went over the coin, as the original was so neat. Nicely done.
I think the answer for the next four pack is obvious: the highly demanded Sleepwalker! Of course you get regular Sleepwalker, his host Rick Sheridan, and the villains 8-Ball and Cobweb. I’m sure demand will be very high, so if they need ideas for a second Sleepy 4 pack, I stand ready.
I want a box set that can actually be ordered! I can't get excited about these figures if I'll never be able to buy them. I'd rather they not exist. I hope someone is asking MEGO to continue making each wave due to the demand.
Trey, a video of toyfare magazine would be amazing! It was one of favorite parts of being a kid going to Barnes and Noble. One of main reasons I started customizing action figures.
Love my Megos! An X-MEN wave with Wolverine, Cyclops, Nightcrawler and STORM! Gotta give a special shout out to Tarzan who was also a part of this collection back in the 70's!😅 I have Tarzan and I'm gonna order a Mego Tarzan retro box from ebay!😅😅
Thanks for covering this! Love your channel. You're the only one on RUclips that ever extensively covered the Marvel Famous Covers line and I thank you for that. Thanks again for providing great content and keep up the great work!
No way, you serious??? I was so late to these that even i couldn't get my hands on the multiple re-makes of the megos. This is amazing news! i loved looking these up as a kid
My friend down the street had a bunch of these and while playing with them one day on the basement stairs I fell and broke my arm. Some memories are better left in the past.
I got mine last week, had probably 4 or 5 spidey’s as a kid but unfortunately were lost to time. Was so excited to get a Mego Spidey he’s always been my favorite. Very cool 4 pack. Hate that they’re exclusive to Disney though
I have been a massive fan of the original Mego figures since I was a 4 year old back in 1975 when for Christmas I got Batman, Spider-Man, Robin, Superman and the Batmobile. Aside from the Fonz & a 12 inch Spider-Man, those were the only Megos I ever got as a kid, but boy did I love them. I played with them for hours. When I was able to in the early 2000s, I was able to pick them back up along with some others I never had like Aquaman, Green Arrow and Tarzan. I never did finish picking up the original WGSH figures like I had planned and still want to. I love the news releases. I haven't been picking them up like I have been wanting to though. I go have a few of the main DC characters like Batman, Superman, Shazam, Green Lantern (Jon Stewart and the 50th anniversary Hal Jordan, which is a stunning piece in my opinion. I do really need to find that Barry Allen Flash though) & even a Teen Wolf that a buddy got for me for my birthday. I missed out on getting the Spidey 4 pack though. I'm ok with it as I only really want Electro. I have the original Spidey & Gobby, although my Goblin needs a costume. I have been looking on eBay for an Electro to go with my collection. I would love a Doctor Doom. I had heard rumors that they were supposed to come out with Doom in the 70's, but for whatever reason, it turned into Iron Man, which is why ole Shell Head has eyes. I'm sure we will get a Deadpool and Wolverine at some point as well. Maybe some of the Avengers like Black Widow, Hawkeye and Falcon. Great video as always. Now I'm on eBay looking for Megos I don't already have in my collection. P.S. for some really good Mego reference books, may I recommend Mego Action Figure Toys by John Bonavita & the Mego 8 Inch Worlds Greatest Superhero Toys by Ben Holcomb. Both are excellent reference books for Megos.
Wait a minute-are they really bringing back the Marvel Megos?! Listen, I never got to experience these toys firsthand. I’m a ’90s kid, so my go-to brands were ToyBiz and Kenner. But I’ve seen some of the DC Megos on Amazon, and they’ve definitely piqued my curiosity-I’ve even thought about picking one up. Now, to hear they might bring back the Marvel ones? Especially Spider-Man? I might have to jump on this! The villains, like Electro and Lizard, look absolutely spot-on. I’m a little mad I didn’t know about this sooner, but I’m super excited to see what’s coming. I’d want to see them tackle Mysterio, and sandman Then for DC not entirely sure yet. I’d may to see more so re releases on ones I may missed. I think for the first DC me go I may pick up the Red Hood. That figure looks as close I’d consider an accurate depiction of him.
Wow these are so cool! But I gotta say, this video has made me feel so inferior as a collector for not owning any of these 😢 I gotta get in the game, per say.
Where is everyone getting "there were only ten original marvel figures"? The 4 main avengers and the fantastic four alone = 8. Plus spidey, his 2 villains, the falcon, and even Conan if you want to count him.
Mego originally made 13 Marvel figures including Conan the Barbarian Spider-Man Hulk Thor Falcon Iron Man Captain America Mr. Fantastic Invisible Girl Human Torch The Thing Green Goblin The Lizard
@ So if there were originally 12 Mego Marvel figures back in the 70s… (not including Conan) Mego will be producing 16 more figures in four more 4-packs. Out of that 12 there will be nine left out of the vintage collective. Captain America Falcon Thor Iron Man Hulk Mr. Fantastic Invisible Girl Human Torch The Thing. It’s a safe bet that the four characters developed for the DIAMOND SELECT EMCE by MEGO will be added on simply because the tooling already exist for Wolverine Deadpool Daredevil Punisher Keep in mind these recent four EMCE figures had variant head portraits as did Thor, Captain America and Spider-Man. This leaves us with the possibility of three new additions. In my opinion, they should definitely be villains like Doc Octopus Dr. Doom Red Skull Bullseye 🎯 If MEGO decides to create a new muscular bandless body for Hulk and Thing, they will be able to utilize that muscular body for characters like Kingpin and Rhino 🦏 So many characters so many possibilities.
I only have a mego Rocky which is amazing! It’s unlike any figure in my collection! And to be honest as a marvel mego I want to see a Howard the Duck mego, since his movie came out in the 80s, and could’ve been a part of a line of mego had the chance to make one. Now I know that would be hard, but if you’re asking me, I would like Howard. And question, I noticed you have other comic book characters like the rocketeer and invincible, so do you you have any figures for kick ass or the crow? And you reference movies, so I’m wondering do you have any figures of for example, die hard, Rocky, Austin powers, etc. or do you not collect those type of lines? And if you do, I would love to see a mystery box of those
@ Does that mean possible future mystery box? And yeah I mean I liked the Howard the Duck movie when I watched it a few years ago for the first time, and I just think the Duck would be a good addition to the mego line. And that Dr fate figure looks so cool and amazing! I want to make him the official first Dr fate figure in my collection one day.
So if there were originally 12 Mego Marvel figures back in the 70s… (not including Conan) Mego will be producing 16 more figures in four more 4-packs. Out of that twelve there will be nine left of the vintage collective. Captain America Falcon Thor Iron Man Hulk Mr. Fantastic Invisible Girl Human Torch The Thing. It’s a safe bet that the four characters developed for the DIAMOND SELECT EMCE by MEGO will be added on simply because the tooling already exist for Wolverine Deadpool Daredevil Punisher Keep in mind these recent four EMCE figures had variant head portraits as did Thor, Captain America and Spider-Man.

@ I hope Mego gains traction with Marvel. Would love to see these on store shelves again. Oddly enough, I was visiting family in Orlando just before the Spider-Man set was announced. I might’ve been able to acquire a set had I still been there. My hope is that these will be available in a few years perhaps as single purchase. We will see.
For sure that sucks and the aftermarket prices are ridiculous, but hopefully this means bigger production numbers for future sets and a reorder for this one
@@CarbonScoring I hope so. It doesn't really make much difference to me as I'm in the UK and they won't come out here. The original DC Anniversary figures didn't come out here either. These are just pure unobtanium...
Marty Abrams goes into that in more detail in his interview with Brick Mantooth. They are the only ones outside of Hasbro allowed to make action figures in this scale at this price point. There are a ton of factor that go into getting a license - in this one, it included that they only be sold at these specific outlets. I want them to be more widely available also, but them’s the rules.
@CarbonScoring Yes, its not always a 'simple' issue but I hope in the future they stock enough for the demand. 10 minutes is ridiculous. Videos great regardless.
I had a huge collection of mego stuff when I was a kid. Still appreciate the head sculpts from this amazing company. Think their designs are among the best, most unique looking.😂❤
The packaging is NOT exactly the same as the originals. That DC logo was not on the originals and the Superman logo is not the same. It is the awful eighties redraw of the logo which looks like crap. And the art on the back of the Green Lantern box is not by either Neal Adams or Gil Kane. It's by Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez and was done in the late seventies or early eighties, so does not belong on a Mego box. The Flash box art is good, though. Genuine seventies art, inked by Murphy Anderson.
I am very happy I was able to get this set because when I first ordered it mine was canceled and when I ordered it the second time my order did go through and I just received my set Friday and I use to own Spider-Man but I don’t know what happened to mine and I never had Green Goblin or the Lizard and they never made Electro so the villains are an added bonus for me along with the Spider-Man coin I never owned and I can’t wait to see what will be in the next set that comes out and it would be cool if it’s Hulk, Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor with the Hulk coin but whatever figures is next I will still be happy.
This brought me back to my childhood. We didn't have too much money back then so I only ever got one figure, but it was Spider-Man, and I loved him.
If you could only have one - that was the one to have!!!
Trey, I'm always blown away by your videos. I love that you know all the artists on the packaging and you're not afraid to give others credit (you gave yours truly a shout out one time). I smiled as you went over the coin, as the original was so neat. Nicely done.
Thanks! I try to make these videos as comprehensive as possible, and I appreciate your kind words!
I think the answer for the next four pack is obvious: the highly demanded Sleepwalker!
Of course you get regular Sleepwalker, his host Rick Sheridan, and the villains 8-Ball and Cobweb.
I’m sure demand will be very high, so if they need ideas for a second Sleepy 4 pack, I stand ready.
Yeah, I mean this is obvious. We should focus on the final three 4 packs since you have clearly nailed the second 😉
10:45 Wolverine is a serious must, I would also really love to see Rogue, also Gambit, Cyclops, Storm, and Magneto
Sign me up for all that!
@@CarbonScoring Yeah
Ngl Deadpool in the mego style would be sick
I want a box set that can actually be ordered! I can't get excited about these figures if I'll never be able to buy them. I'd rather they not exist. I hope someone is asking MEGO to continue making each wave due to the demand.
Couldn’t agree with you more, but I’m hoping videos like this - and the response to them - pushes greater production!
Trey, a video of toyfare magazine would be amazing! It was one of favorite parts of being a kid going to Barnes and Noble. One of main reasons I started customizing action figures.
I’m all over that - stay tuned!
@ can’t wait. You could just do a video on twisted mego theater 😂 I wonder if that was the inspiration for robot chicken.
Love my Megos! An X-MEN wave with Wolverine, Cyclops, Nightcrawler and STORM! Gotta give a special shout out to Tarzan who was also a part of this collection back in the 70's!😅 I have Tarzan and I'm gonna order a Mego Tarzan retro box from ebay!😅😅
X-Men would be so cool!
Thanks for covering this! Love your channel. You're the only one on RUclips that ever extensively covered the Marvel Famous Covers line and I thank you for that. Thanks again for providing great content and keep up the great work!
Wow, thanks! Appreciate you remember my Famous Covers video - I’m not exaggerating when I say they are some of my all time favorite toys!
I know it would be unlikely but Deadpool would be cool if they make an official figure
I bet they do!
No way, you serious??? I was so late to these that even i couldn't get my hands on the multiple re-makes of the megos. This is amazing news! i loved looking these up as a kid
I can’t wait for what is next!
Love the intro to those video, Trey!!!! 😂
Thanks, Vincent!
These look amazing. I've wanted a Mego Spidey since my first issue of Toyfare in the '90s. I hope they become more available soon.
I’ll keep you posted!
My friend down the street had a bunch of these and while playing with them one day on the basement stairs I fell and broke my arm. Some memories are better left in the past.
That intro was hilariously awesome!😂
I put some time into that one…
I got mine last week, had probably 4 or 5 spidey’s as a kid but unfortunately were lost to time. Was so excited to get a Mego Spidey he’s always been my favorite. Very cool 4 pack. Hate that they’re exclusive to Disney though
I’d rather them be more widely available as well, perhaps this will open the doors!
Im more of a Legends guy myself but man! These are interesting 🤔 bro!and also bro? Big fan of yours!
Appreciate the love man!
@CarbonScoring thank you sir!
a young 15 years old teenager me got into action figures and knowledge on comics because of you man!

Those are both great books - check BBTS.com - I think they still have some of the DC ones in stock!
Awesome video! Also, did you see the new Marvel Legends McFarlane Spiderman? He looks incredible
It looks so good!
I would LOVE a 4 pack with Spider-woman, Ghost Spider, miles morales, and 2099!
Awesome choices!
Yes please do it on toy fair. That would be great .
I really want to - gotta figure out how to tell the story…
Man whenever you make a new video I just learn more about collectibles and need more, this can't be healthy. Anyways love the videos
I’m happy to feed the sickness!
Wait a minute-are they really bringing back the Marvel Megos?! Listen, I never got to experience these toys firsthand. I’m a ’90s kid, so my go-to brands were ToyBiz and Kenner.

Be careful, once you dip your toe in this pool, you are in the deep end!
Wow these are so cool! But I gotta say, this video has made me feel so inferior as a collector for not owning any of these 😢 I gotta get in the game, per say.
Now seems like the perfect time to jump on board!
Mego figures are always cool to look at!
I love your videos so much. You inspired me to start my action figure review channel. Thanks for making great videos all the time.
If they make a full Sinister Six villians team...im in!
For sure!
I’d love to see a Teen Titans Donna Troy from DC and Doctor Doom from Marvel!
They gotta do Doom, right!?!
Toyfare episode would peak 👌 😍 😭 and the 4 pack should have the Fantastic 4
FF seems like a no-brainer!
I want to see Archangel and Sunfire.
Dope!
Great opening intro 💪😆 i also own the Mego Hall of Justice, definitely one of the best playsets.
That's a classic! Thanks for coming over and watching!
Saw these at the Avengers store in Downtown Disney. Btw you excited for that McFarlane Maximum Spider-Man?!?
Yeah, man - super psyched!
are they really going back with marvel? i'm so excited
Great news!
Did u see that new marvel legends Todd mcfarlane spider man HE LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES! I am beyond psyched!
@ agree he looks so good
Where is everyone getting "there were only ten original marvel figures"? The 4 main avengers and the fantastic four alone = 8. Plus spidey, his 2 villains, the falcon, and even Conan if you want to count him.
Mego originally made 13 Marvel figures including
Conan the Barbarian
Spider-Man
Hulk
Thor
Falcon
Iron Man
Captain America
Mr. Fantastic
Invisible Girl
Human Torch
The Thing
Green Goblin
The Lizard
I’ll give you 12 - personally, I don’t count Tarzan
@ Tarzan was one of the DC WGSH.
I guess Tarzan was the DC equivalent to Marvel’s Conan the Barbarian.
@ So if there were originally 12 Mego Marvel figures back in the 70s… (not including Conan) Mego will be producing 16 more figures in four more 4-packs. Out of that 12 there will be nine left out of the vintage collective.
Captain America
Falcon
Thor
Iron Man
Hulk
Mr. Fantastic
Invisible Girl
Human Torch
The Thing.
It’s a safe bet that the four characters developed for the DIAMOND SELECT EMCE by MEGO will be added on simply because the tooling already exist for
Wolverine
Deadpool
Daredevil
Punisher
Keep in mind these recent four EMCE figures had variant head portraits as did Thor, Captain America and Spider-Man.
This leaves us with the possibility of three new additions.
In my opinion, they should definitely be villains like
Doc Octopus
Dr. Doom
Red Skull
Bullseye 🎯
If MEGO decides to create a new muscular bandless body for Hulk and Thing, they will be able to utilize that muscular body for characters like
Kingpin and Rhino 🦏
So many characters so many possibilities.
