It was important to me that I document the entire journey of making this book, and this blog was a wonderful outlet for that endeavor. It was a catharsis for me, and a whole helluva lot of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m shuttering the blog for good.
There are two years&#8217; worth of blog archives covering the making of the book, as well as plenty of other geek stuff.
It&#8217;s been a lot of fun documenting this journey, and I thank you for reading.

Correctly identify each of the following four Mego-related items:

Sadly, most of these stores are long-gone, but that&#8217;s partially what makes visiting the past so much fun… it&#8217;s the only way we can go back [...]]]></description>

This week, Joe started auctioning his staggering collection of Mego WGSH figures. Joe started buying these toys as a prescient 11-year old kid, way back in 1978. In just [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I spoke with Linda McNett yesterday. Between 1974-1978, Linda was (Mego V.P.) Neal Kublan&#8217;s Personal Assistant. Linda&#8217;s husband, John McNett — whom she met while working at Mego — was Mego&#8217;s Director of Design from 1977-1979.
Here are two shots of Linda working at Mego in the 1970s:

I always called my dad &#8220;Ray.&#8221;
Long story.
Forgot? No problem. Send dad an Amazon Gift Certificate. They&#8217;re cool, plus you support WorldsGreatestToys. Woo-hoo!

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, Mego-head Scott Adams shared his set of mysteriously identical price stickers. Scott&#8217;s pretty sure they are from Service Merchandise.
When Scott submitted those awesome photos, he also sent another price sticker that has me stumped. This sticker, affixed to a MIB Mego Lizard, is utterly mysterious:

The sticker reads:

PRANGE
T
661 36
$2.97

P-Range? Prange? Pranget?! Any idea who produced [...]]]></description>

From the outset, I knew I wanted to include 360-degree &#8216;revolution&#8217; photos of each figure. [...]]]></description>
