Vintage 1978 Mego Kiss Dolls (Action Figures)

Me fumbling my way through showing my Megs Kiss action figures.
Note: Forgot to mention that Mego used their 12" Lex Luthor head for Peter.

[@noahhenson1669]

Nice! I got all 4 of these for Christmas '78... and by early '81 all I had was an Ace Frehley boot and Gene's head! Nice to revisit them again. Thanks for posting.

I remember seeing these at the toy store when I was a kid. They were on a big shelf at the back. I was a huge KISS fan back then, and used to go into the store over and over just to stare at them. I don't know why I never asked my Mom and Dad for one, I know they would have bought it for me.

These figures look better than the new Mego Kiss figs

[@aussiecoastie72]

Fantastic collection and review !! My brother and I owned the gene and Paul figures … so many memories

[@kth351twinvasion5]

Holy Krap! I always knew that Pauls head was actually Daryll Dragon but after 39 years I never realized the Peter Criss Mego was actually Gene Hackman...and my 10 year old son showed me this!

the coolest figures ever made

[@theIncredibleMRQUICK]

Just hearing you talk about these kiss figures and the way you talk about them and earned money to buy the things you always wanted really hit home with me. I so get it brother, I honestly believe we could be without question good friends.

[@herkcollins4263]

I'm hearing you, I saw the commercial and wanted them bad. I would see one here and there, but was never able to get them. As the years went by, I saw them being sold by collectors for hundreds and knew it would never happen. This past December, the dream came true, I was able to snag a set that had some issues like broken leg pins and cracked arms. Lucky for me, Figures Toy Company sells spare pins and collectors who had spare parts were willing to share. I've now got them all fixed up and I'm so proud to have them. I was later also able to get a Figures 12" version of Paul with the Bandit makeup, he's very cool. Congrats on finally being able to have the Kiss collectibles you wanted for so long. I know how it feels to want them, but now know how it feels to finally get some of them too. It's a good feeling.

Thsnks for showing the kiss collections..i myself have two sets of original kiss figures..awesome thanks

[@The1066BMJ]

I was 17 when these were released. I thought they cemented the Kiss image as a kiddie band. I love the 1974- 75 era.

[@chrisg9602]

I wish I still had my kids mego figures

[@venom-dq4rb]

I have them, mint condition with the original boxes, I also had a set of the skinny versions(Peter never had a skinny version) that set is in very nice shape(just comb out the hair a little, also my original boxes have white serial numbers on the front right above the mego logo 88000/1 etc, they switched to black stickers in mid production , so you do in-fact have real original boxes .... allot of fakes out there.

[@rjc7289]

I own 2 sets of the Mego dolls, and when I got them, it was before the internet era. I used to frequent this collectibles store in the local mall back in the 90's, and over the years, I acquired the dolls from them. They just happened to be there in a display case, so I snapped them up. I even owned an extra Paul and Gene at one time, but since sold them.

[@tonyeckman4822]

Your artwork is amazing. Cool Kiss figures too!

[@SunbeamsSting]

Wow Cool Vintage Kiss Figures. Great video! Subbed. WOW you have some still in the package so Awesome.

[@coachrobinson9958]

I had a Gene Simmons doll back in the day. MAD AS HELL, that I broke it! 😒

[@excaliburwarlocks5508]

I remember it was 1978 I was probably about six or seven years old and we went to the half Price store and we both bought the Gene Simmons one and the head kept falling off because they were made just so cheap it's amazing that those ones are still together they were like the cheapest things ever made when he took it back to the house price store and my parents got her three bucks for him

[@jackyflowers7159]

The kids next door got them in 78 and I was so jelly s cause mom would not buy any for me. I was happy tho with Steve, Godzilla, Pulsar and the rest of them... even The Fonz n Ali! Good Lord there were so many, but I did miss out on Kiss tho.!

[@lizzymayethebordercollie]

Awesome! I used to have these as well.

[@alienintoxication09]

Hell yeah...had Paul and Ace .... Love mego.....they look in great shape..wow in box awesome.... I'd settle for the figure toy company ones ....been looking for original ones myself....

[@adric137]

are there Ankh warrior and Fox dolls from the band Kiss?They are the 2 later painted faces of Kiss!

[@charliescreations148]

Love this vid

[@drewlsy]

What do you think about if the Love Gun era which is your Megs Kiss line were re-issued with bigger bubbles,like they did with the Dynasty and Destroyer, Dressed to Kill. Not sure which company did these other lines / era but they skipped the Love Gun 78' era. I wonder why?

[@punkhaney2144]

great video

[@eclecticcollecting5598]

Thanks!

[@JefferyRusnock]

Hey Brian, More cool collectibles as usual , really neat to see those figures and costumes. Didn't know you did comic book drawings , very impressive work I must say . I loved seeing your pinball machines, that was a great and fun video to watch, took me back to the mall days with friends spending the day and our savings to play on ones just like them... who knows maybe they were the ones. Great video buddy good hearing your voice again , one day you should definitely do a video in front of the camera so we could put a face with the name and voice. Take care and talk to you again soon.~ Jeff

[@eclecticcollecting5598]

Thanks, Jeff!! I think that's the best part of having old machines... getting to feel like you are "back in the day" again. I may be on camera, at some point. I'm much more comfortable behind the camera. You do a great job. I'd probably really fumble over my words, big time. You could probably google me and find a pic. Ha ha.

[@sabbathoneseveneight8643]

Those catalog numbers you spoke of correspond with each member. 88000/1 is Paul's box 88000/2 is Gene's box 88000/3 is Peter's box 88000/4 is Ace's box Your Ace doll is in a Peter box. I'm not sure why your Gene catalog number is blacked out? Couldn't see Peter's number. Paul is correct👍

[@thephantom2050]

They're dolls.. No figures 😄 JK... Great vid. Thanks for sharing.

[@rjc7289]

Well, since mostly boys owned them, they don't refer to them as "dolls", or else they'll get their ass kicked by school mates!

[@brittneydeherrera3351]

I want those

[@spaceavenger54]

If I were Ace, there's no way I would of let them put that out with that hair. I think Peter is the only one who looked ok.

[@redwalrustmnc5256]

"They might look INSANE" cool vid. Did you do some KISS illustrations? That would be interesting to see.

[@eclecticcollecting5598]

I haven't done any official Kiss illustrations. I've done a few drawings and stuff for friends in the past but that's it.

[@redwalrustmnc5256]

Yeah that is what I mean, you're own drawings. As Kiss fans we all fooled around drawing the band and logo but it would be cool to see a Kiss fan who actually has talent doodle around.

[@hamacaca6310]

Цiкаві ляльки❗🥤🤩👍🎈

[@shirleylyn11]

[@michaelwood4661]

[@juliosanchez95]

[@stonecold1121]

Hey that's a pretty good collection you got there bud do you by chance have the series one of the 70s Megos? I got two sets of the series 2 two of the figures from back then Gene and Paul I had signed when they did MTV unplugged years ago.
