I remember getting my Mego Trek figures from Santa in 1975. Great Christmas!
I accidentally buried my Mego Superman in the garden when I was 8 or 9, I was about 20 when I found it again while gardening with my dad. The clothes had completely perished, all that was left were his bright red boots, the figure was in superb condition, even the paint on the head and face was still mostly there. The metal joints had well rusted though.
Back in 1972 (I was 8) my mom bought me a behind the scenes Star Trek book I used as reference. (No CD's, Internet etc.) I then constructed my own TV version bridge, sick bay, transporter room, captains quarters, corridors & shuttle craft for my 8" Star Trek figures. It took up half my bedroom! 😄 Oh! & the Mego Bridge became a space station/briefing room/engineering room! 😎👍
I had the whole set as a child! I played with them so much that they got broken. The transporter I accidentally broke right away by tossing the figures in while it was spinning (I was 4 years old!) I found a mint on card Uhura at a toy shop that was closed down for over 10 years back in the 1980's, for the original price! I bought all of their 60's-70's toys that were still sealed, and stored them all away. Sadly, they were all destroyed by a flooded basement in the late 90's. It makes me want to cry as there is no way of recovering that HUGE collection without spending thousands of dollars.
Never had these but always wished for them. My friend next door did but rarely brought them outside to share and play. Don't blame him though for being very careful with them. Loved the transporter.
My best Christmas ever was finding the Enterprise and it's crew under the tree
I'm so glad MEGO is making the 8" Star Trek figures again! Looking forward to the upcoming Kirk & Spock with Tribbles and Glow-In-The-Dark Gorn!
'Astrotank' - sold!
Had em and loved em
The only Star Trek toy I ever had was the dinky die cast enterprise it had a small plastic shuttle in the hull
This is my 2nd time watching this video. Thank you! I’m American, so your accent makes me feel like I’m watching something more sophisticated, until my wife asks if I’m watching another toy video 🤷🏻♂️ 👍🏽
I had quite of few of them when I was a kid. I always loved teaming the Gorn up with my Mego's Marvel Lizard to beat the crap out of other characters.
Loved that at 12min30 sec you put the TV Commercial for the Motion Picture Smaller ship toys by Mego. My boxed Klingon Ship is one of my pride and joy Mego toys. From Marc in Cape Town, South Africa
The modern rerelease is a pretty good. They're still pretty nice
I got the bridge for Christmas one year, along with all five figures. Looking back, I think it was the exclusive store version since it all came together and was (to the best of my recollection)unopened before me. GREAT memories. My only real cheat for the line was throwing Spock's shirt on a Kirk so I could also have a Captain Pike.
These were MY MEGO faves... I absolutely LOVED the bright colors of the uniforms and the shiny insignia and rank pips on the sleeves. And the communicator and phasers too. As well as the blister packs artwork. I had the Enterprise (my mom used to tell me I had two! I played with the first one so much it fell apart and she had gotten me a new one for 5$ lol)
I think perhaps only Playmates in the 1990s from 1992-1998 was the big Trek Force in toys.
I had Kirk and Spock from this line. I can't remember if I had just the transporter, or the entire playset, but I clearly remember putting them in the transporter, and spinning it. I was very young when I had these toys. I would have been 4 for 5 when I got them. We moved when I was 6, and I don't remember them making their way with us to our new home. I wish I still had them today. I still have all my Kenner Star Ways figures, and have some on display in my living room.
I just purchased the new figures, that Marty Abrams is producing, of Kirk and Spock. Got them at Target. They represent the Trouble With Tribbles episode.Kirk is in his green informal shirt. Both have a phaser and communicator in correct color scheme, black with silver trimmings. Spock has his tricorder also in black. The delta is now silkscreened onto the shirt instead of a sticker. Also small little tribbles came in both packs. I have too many tribbles to be honest, but I have the little buggers posing with Kirk and Spock. I’m thrilled with these figures.
I had a Mego Incredible Hulk figure (the boxed version with the white shirt). One of the kids I went to school with had a set of the Star Trek figures and the bridge playset too. I always wanted a set of those...
