If you were a kid in the 70's, or early 80's, you no doubt remember the 8" action figures made by Mego. For me, Megos were (and still are) IT. When I was a kid, one of my favorite Mego figures was Mr. Spock from their impressive Star Trek line. At the time, and for Mego standards, this line was a beauty. The detail in the clothing was top notch, the accessories were accurate, and the likenesses were pretty damn good for the 70's.
Well Megoheads and Trekkies, they're back! Beaming into your online stores, and local comic shops soon are Diamond Select Toys, Star Trek 8" action figures! Near exact re-issues of the original Mego action figures on vintage style packaging.

They will be released two characters at a time about a month apart. There will be 8 figures in a case, 4 of each character, and no short packs.
Kirk & Klingon
Spock & Andorian
Dr. McCoy & Romulan
What makes this really good news, is that the original Andorian and Romulan Megos are high dollar collectibles these days. So this will be nice for collectors on a budget, or those that already have the originals, but want one to display and monkey around with. These would also be great toys for your kids!
You aren't going to find these at your local Wal-Mart, or Target stores. Your best bet is to either go down to your local comic shop and ask them to order them for you, or pre-order them online. Pre-orders are being taken for the first two releases, Kirk & Klingon, right now all over the web.
I pre-ordered my set for just $32.38 from megoville.com
They also have cases available for $107.94
For more info. and updates on these Trek figures, check out the Mego Museum Forums!
Live long and prosper!
