The Mego Corporation is an American toy company that in its original iteration was first founded in 1954. Originally known as a purveyor of dime store toys, in 1971 the company shifted direction and became famous for producing licensed dolls (including the long-running "World's Greatest Super Heroes" line), celebrity dolls, and the Micronauts toy line. For a time in the 1970s, their line of 8-inch-scale action figures with interchangeable bodies became the industry standard.

Originally known as a purveyor of dime store toys, in 1971 the company shifted direction and became famous for producing licensed dolls (including the long-running "World's Greatest Super Heroes" line), celebrity dolls, and the Micronauts toy line. For a time in the 1970s, their line of 8-inch-scale action figures with interchangeable bodies became the industry standard. In 1982 Mego filed for bankruptcy, and by 1983, the Mego Corporation ceased to exist; today, Mego dolls and playsets can be highly prized collectibles, with some fetching hundreds, or even in some cases, thousands of dollars (depending on rarity) in the collectibles market. In July 2018, the newly-reformed Mego Corporation announced they would be producing a limited run of their classic style clothed dolls in their traditional 1/9 scale, as well as some 1/5 figures sold exclusively through Target. These dolls, which include recreations of dolls released in the 1970s, began seeing release later in the year. (en)

  • La Mego Corporation è un'azienda statunitense produttrice di giocattoli che ha dominato il mercato delle action figure per gran parte degli anni settanta, realizzando personaggi ispirati a serie teleivisive, fumetti e film (soprattutto di fantascienza). Chiusi i battenti nel 1983, la Mego è diventata una delle ditte di giocattoli di maggiore interesse collezionistico, spingendo gli eredi dei fondatori, che ne detenevano i diritti, a concedere la licenza per la realizzazione di repro dei loro storici personaggi. Dopo 35 anni la Mego è tornata in attività nel 2018. (it)
