Paul Clarke — aka Dr. Mego — announced on Facebook minutes ago that the first Marvel wave of Megos is going up for preorder Wednesday — and the four-pack includes the first-ever Electro!
Check out the packaging:
“From Disney: We just got word from our partners that we will be launching at the brand-new Avengers Reserve store in Downtown Disney and preselling on disneystore.com tomorrow,” Paul wrote. “We will be launching at Walt Disney World as soon as the units are received at a later date.”
It’s unclear when the set will ship but the price will be roughly $90-$100. It is also possible the set will not go online until the weekend, Paul added later.
(UPDATED 12/4/24: Clarke just gave this update on Facebook: “Update from Disney: Disney Parks and Mego Corp. are excited to introduce a four-figure set of Spider-Man, the Green Goblin, the Lizard, and an all-new Electro in vintage MEGO packaging. This limited-edition set will release tomorrow at the new Avengers Reserve store at Disneyland Resort and coming soon for presale on disneystore.com and to Walt Disney World.”)
“Mego revealed that the upcoming Marvel waves will be exclusive to Disney stores, theme parks, and the Disney website,” Pod Stallions’ Brian Heiler said in an October Mego video. “Each series will consist of four Megos in their classic window boxes. Wave 1 of the Marvel line is expected to ship in December 2024, and four waves are scheduled for 2025, bringing a total of 20 Marvel Mego figures in the coming months. Disney will reveal characters in the coming weeks.”
Here’s more from Brian, in his latest video:
Still no word on when Mego’s regular Wave 19 — featuring the latest DC figures — will be up for preorder.

Anyone have a direct link? I can’t find it on their site.

They haven’t posted it yet.

The Disney store (link above) is horrible. But if you search on “Mego” there is a small blurb saying “December 22 at 8AM PT”. Otherwise all I’ve been able to find is super marked up eBay sales.

I’m just shocked it’s pronounced “meego” not “mego”. Learn something new everyday…

You never saw the tv commercials from the 1970’s ? They pronounced the name in them.

I hope everyone can get one. Price gouging resellers have taken the fun out of collecting.

Has anyone found them listed anywhere yet?

That Electro is cooler than the other side of the pillow!
