Video: Stan Lee reads "A Visit from St. Nicholas" like a true believer... in Santa. Proposals: Eddie Zarick shows off his arc reactor proposal prop. How could any body turn down a ring stored in this thing? Toys: DJango Unchained is getting a lovingly MEGO-like 8" toy line from NECA...

It's kind of hard to believe that Mego-style action figures are still cool in 2010, but that's the exact situation we're looking at here. Mattel's recently launched Retro-Action DC Super Heroes line is absolutely awesome, and fans are in store for further excellence with the announcement of a second wave of Retro-Action toys...

Mego action figures have experienced something of a resurgence lately, with new "Lost" and "Venture Bros." toys coming out in the old school style courtesy of Big Bang Pow.
