Podcasts about mego meet

  We're all here for a SDCC preview. Artie has tales from Mego Meet with strange texts from a fellow Mego maker that deserve scrutiny, Scoot and Franco have tales from Massive Con and Art & Franco review Denver Con. Plus we look at some of the big movies of the early 80s, Yoko finds a new character voice, and we delve into the debate over which color was Fonzie's wind breaker before ABC let him wear the leather jacket. Don't miss it!  

Kevin and Kornflake have one more item of business to discuss from FuMPFeST, as Kevin reveals that in the middle of this funny music convention, he sneaked off to a whole other convention! This was Mego Meet, a show dedicated to the Mego superhero dolls (sorry, action figures) of the 1970s. Found at Mego Meet: Kid Flash's boots, Tiny Titans creator Art Baltazar, an Ark II Halloween costume, and (according to a rumor started by some goofy podcast) Taylor Swift. The toy talk continues as we flip through a fun book called Rack Toys, which features page after page of bizarre cheapo toys from the 70s and 80s. (The Land of the Lost pinball game looks awesome, but we're baffled by the Love Boat Barber Shop set.) Then we look ahead to CONvergence, a big crazy convention happening Fourth of July weekend in Bloomington, Minnesota. Kevin will be there, mostly talking about Fangface. Meanwhile, Kornflake just wants you to enjoy a bowl of angry ice cream.
