Making a Custom Mego Star Trek Playset

    Thank you for this video. I found it by accident, even though I've wondered about HOW to make my own modern Enterprise playset. I have just went to Ebay and purchased the Animated Enterprise display set. I believe the original MEGO ST:TOS figures were supposed to be from the Animated series anyway. I'm just happy to have a display set for photos to make comic strips out of. Again, thank you, and great work ! 😁👍❤🇺🇸

    I've seen those "displaysets" on ebay and thought they were pretty clever and making your own to customize the background photos is an even more appealing idea. Where do you get those cases with the fold-out panels, though?

    What would you advise, if I was thinking about trying to get a vehicle, A Sven-mobile, like a hearse, 8 inch mego sized. The closest vehicle I can think of that exists the Batmobile but I’m thinking a completely different body type than a Batmobile.

    Hi brother, I’m disabled cancer survivor. I undergo dialysis 5 hour dialysis treatments 3 days a week. Dialysis has wreaked havoc on my body causing my hands to draw up with chronic trigger finger. I was a music producer/singer/songwriter/guitarist, and pianist, I still sing, but can’t do much with my hands. I subscribe to your video channel and admire your work. I would love to have a Star Trek Enterprise bridge playset like yours, but wound not be able to build one myself due to my disability. Could I commission you to build me one or buy one from you? My dad burned all of my valuable collectibles when I was 16. Said I was to old for that stuff. I had all my and my brother’s action figures and golden age and silver rage comics, stored in boxes. It’s not like we were playing with them as kids. We were saving them for our later years because we knew they would be very valuable. I’m in my early 50’s and I’m still trying to replace some of the items that meant the most to me like my 1974 MEGO 8” Star Trek action figures and my Six Million Dollar Man figures and playsets. We had all the first release STAR WARS figures, but there’s no way I’d ever be able to get all that back again. We had all the MEGO Planet of the Apes and 1st release Superhero figures. All burned in a big bonfire set aflame by our dad. I have bought back all of the Star Trek first wave figures I had before and only lack having the Uhura figure which came out later after the first 5 figures. If you could help me with that Star Trek e enterprise bridge playset I would be eternally grateful. It’s one of the items at the top of my bucket list. Thank you for your time and consideration. with best personal regards, Polaris
