Mego is making a comeback. The big announcement came through today that the classic toy line will be available exclusively at Target stores starting on July 29. The figures will cost between $14.99 and 29.99. The first wave of figures will features toys from DC Comics, I Dream of Jeannie, and of course, Star Trek. Each figure will have a print run of 10,000. Mego was the biggest thing going in the 70's before some film called Star Wars and Kenner took over the world. Watch the Toys That Made Us Star Trek episode on Netflix for more on that story…
