Continuing Scoop's recent thread about Quatermass I was amazed to see that Monsters in Motion of California stock a Mego-like Quatermass action doll from the Quatermass and the Pit movie [it appears to be sold out]
They also stock similar figures from the earlier Quatermass Xperiment
These figures look like Mego for sure and I appreciate the retro packaging. They are also Xpensive but as I don't have any I can't comment on value for money.
Monsters In Motion stock many limited edition collectable figures like these from lots of different classic sci-fi and horror films.
What do you think?
Have any of you got any of these figures? Has anyone been to the California store?

IT! The Terror From Beyond Space
US Reader Brian found this in Wildwood. Brian says its not Mego but more in scale with Star Wars figures. Looks like it has an extra face!
Hiya Woodsy... yep... unearthed something at Hobbs End... I'll send it over soon :)
ReplyDeletewhat? a hideous dwarf Tone! ha ha. Got your report of fell goings on Old Nick's Lane. Thanks!
DeleteTheres quite a few companies doing Mego-like tributes and they're all very nice(and yes, expensive.I just came across an action figure of" IT! The terror from beyond space"in 4 inch scale, more like a Star Wars Figure.I have attempted to send you a pic-fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteThanks for that Bri. Looks like a great carded figure of IT. I've never seen this film, its on my Must Watch It list. Thanks for the picture. Received fine and posted on the blog too.
DeleteThese are great ! , but sadly (like the Space 1999 figures) rather pricey

I remember sourcing some custom carded Space 1999 action dolls for a customer over a decade ago when I was a vintage toy dealer. They must have been the same ones Fenton. Like Mego but as you say they were expensive, even then.
DeleteCustom carded Space 1999 action dolls - what are these, please elaborate!
DeleteI've over explained them Arto. I mean the 2004 Figures Toy Company Space 1999 figures. They were hard to get hold of in 2006 when I was buying and selling toys and finding wants for people. Unlike back then, amazingly there are loads on Amazon now! https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=space+1999+mego
DeletePhew for a moment thought I'd missed something altogether...
DeleteBought a couple of full sets some 5 yrs back, but still missing the Palitoys!
Nice one Arto. There's a fab resume of Space 1999 figures on Catacombs. So many different kinds! http://catacombs.space1999.net/main/merc/vmmfigure.html
