I can’t imagine anything cooler than custom Monkees action figures. Check out  Mickey, Peter, Davy and Mike! I think they captured Michael Nesmith’s side burns perfectly. They always said the Monkees were made of plastic!

See the Mego Museum and check out the kind of toys Daddy played with as a kid.

During this time period, Mego released the very first ever comprehensive line of DC and Marvel character action figures and coined the term World’s Greatest Super Heroes! To start the line, Mego introduced Batman, Robin, Aquaman and Superman. But others soon followed.  read more.
