There’s no way to describe the feeling we had as we first set eyes on these Amazing Lili Ledy Alter Ego Customs from Luis Felipe. It’s so great to meet a collector who shares such a similar passion. Please enjoy these as much as we have.

Lili Ledy Peter Parker and Clark Kent Customs.

Lili Ledy Bruno Diaz (Bruce Wayne) and Ricardo Tapia (Dick Grayson) Customs

For comparison's sake, here you see a fine set of Alter Egos made by MEGO. The camera for Peter Parker is made by Palitoy for the Pippa doll line which was a contemporary of MEGO. It is now a well-researched fact that Peter Parker did NOT originally come with a camera. However, it is still fun to display him with a vintage one in an appropriate scale. Now just relax and enjoy the view.

What an exciting day for MEGO Fans!

Thanks to WorldMEGO “Super Collector” Luis Felipe, we now have images of the never-before-seen MEGO “World’s Greatest Super Knights” Black Knight Jousting Horse Cover. Never produced in the USA, but seen here in the following 1975 MEGO catalog picture (courtesy of http://www.megomuseum.com), MEGOheads everywhere can now confidently continue the hunt for more examples.

It is our great pleasure to present this to WorldMEGO fans. Now the Jousting Tournament can begin! Will Ivanhoe defend the Honor of the Lady Guinevere and the Glory of King Arthur? Or will the Insidious Plans of the Evil Black Knight foil the day? Slap in a few ‘D’ batteries and let’s find out.

Discuss this find at the MEGOMuseum forums:  http://www.megomuseum.com/community.

The Black “cap” that hides the stallion’s head differs from the Red “cap” on the horse pictured in the catalog. Everything else, including the grommet-esque eye and ear holes, appears to look the same. It’s not uncommon, though, for production items to vary from prototype catalog shots. We greatly welcome theories and discussion.

The birth of this blog post went like this: Just the other night, the WorldMEGO staff went about their business sharing pictures and discussing toys when Luis Felipe sent Bryan and Heath a picture that made time stop. We instantly recognized the significance of the Horse Cover to the MEGO Hobby. Please whoop it up as we all share in the Joy of this Discovery! This is HUGE! It was in 2002 when Luis Felipe purchased this Prime Piece at a Flea Market (tianguis) in Mexico. The MEGO Stallion’s broken leg prompted a successful price negotiation (regateo). Go, Luis Felipe, Go!! All that’s left is to replace the Action Stallion! Though, of course, it’s also quite cool to keep the original pieces together. But either way, man, wow! We are still stunned!

You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant.

Even 30+ years after production, New Discoveries can still surface.

Many thanks to Luis Felipe Lopez Portillo . We don’t call him “Super Collector” for nothing.
