So, for you MEGO fans out there, I have a friend that wrote a book many years ago that was published by Twomorrows called MEGO 8" Super-Heroes World's Greatest Toys by Benjamin Holcomb. It is now out of print and goes for ungodly amounts on eBay and Amazon.
He is taking pre-orders on a new book, and I was going to post it here for anyone that may be interested. It is going to be a very small print run.
And just FYI, you can still get the old out-of-print MEGO original book for a decent price if you missed it and are interested. It is available here currently with a revised look and additional material: Mego 8 Inch Super-Heroes: World's Greatest Toys! Hardcover Book - Figures Toy Company

I subscribed to his now defunct fanzine about MEGO and he does quality work. Just thought I would give it a shout out for those who may want this. The guy does great work and loves MEGO!
Here is the info straight from him:
After TwoMorrows published my Mego book in 2007, I swore I would never make another book. But now, nearly two decades later, it is finally possible for me to make THIS book? a book I once thought impossible. This is the one Mego collectors have always dreamed of owning. Last year, I realized I had to stop dreaming, roll up my sleeves and get to it.
Now the dream is a reality, and I'm proud to launch the Pre-Order campaign for?

EVERY CHARACTER?
Every Super-Hero. Every Fist-Fighter. Every Super-Gal. Every Super-Foe. Isis. Teen Titans.
EVERY COUNTRY?
This global examination includes every carded 8" WGSH distributed in The United States by Mego? in England by Palitoy and Bradgate? in Canada by Parkdale Novelty and Grand Toys? in France by Pin Pin Toys? in Italy by Harbert. Even the legendary carded Super-Heroes distributed in Australia by Croner Toys.
Packed with never-before-published photos, facts and information ? including a complete Price Guide! ? this Limited Edition, signed Hardcover drops next month.
I plan to sign the title page of each copy of this limited production run. If you would prefer your copy personalized with your name and a note from me ? or if you prefer it UNSIGNED ? simply let me know.
JUST HOW "LIMITED" WILL IT BE?
Due to the considerable expense of self-publishing a quality book like this, the total number of books will be limited and based on paid pre-orders. I am crossing my fingers for a press-run of 100 copies. So, yeah. VERY LIMITED. Over time, I expect this book will be scarce and in-demand.
Remember when I said I need your help? It's really true. The book is done, but the printer gets paid up front. So I can't get this beast manufactured without pre-orders.
MOC: Mego WGSH is $75 + $6.95 s/h, available in USA only. and you can reserve your copy here:
