Mego on ME TV's COLLECTOR'S CALL

Last year Whelchel became a collectible herself with the resurrection of the legendary 1970’s toy company Mego, famed for its licensed action figures, which have since become very collectible. One of the first toys the company distributed was a Blair “action figure.”

“I didn't know about Mego till we covered a collector on the show who collected ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s memorabilia from TV shows,” she shared. “We filmed it before the Blair doll came out.” When Blair appeared on store shelves, “I was like, 'Oh my goodness, I know this company and I am in the same company as superheroes!’ That's kind of cool, and while it doesn't look like me at all, it doesn't matter. It has the uniform, name and hair, so for me it wasn't about that. It was just the thrill and privilege of having a character figure and that feels great!”

A funny story I had about Lisa...

Since Lisa told a funny but nice story about me, I have one about her (I told one of the Producers at the premiere). She sent me this for Christmas 🎅 Signed by the whole cast! I was telling my friend Joel Rasmussen about it a few weeks ago and he told me about a 1970s Mickey Mouse Club reunion he went to. Joel bought one of her original sets of ears at an auction there. He noticed Lisa's daughter had a lunchbox, but was afraid to go around and get the others in the cast to sign it. Lisa told her go on...don't be shy. After I hung up with Joel, I looked at the lunchbox again and it all made sense, as she signed Mommy underneath her name. Now her daughter is getting married! Congrats to her and Thanks for the Box with a Collector's Call story behind it! #lisawhelchel #metv #themickeymouseclub #lunchbox
