Unboxing The Meegan Alien From Silver Surfer (Toy Biz, 1997)
/Norrin has been collecting toys (and keeping them safely inside of their original packaging) for a little over 20 years now. And the time has come to break the seals, tear the tape, and see what's actually inside of these boxes. We will be seeing him open flea-market finds (with dog eared cardboard and pushed in plastic) right along with his mint-in-box exclusive editions. Who wants to play with some toys?
Our twenty-first unboxing is the Meegan Alien figure put out by Toy Biz as part of their Silver Surfer line of action figures released in 1997. He comes packaged with an Earth Tremor Detector backpack.
Little is known about the aliens known as the Megans. They come from the planet Mega, which for centuries was engaged in a war with it's sister planet, Beta. Each side would capture gargantuan beasts from alien worlds to act as living weapons in this war.
Even less is known of the alien who calls himself Meegan. Assumed to be the lone survivor of his race, Meegan wanders the cosmos, attempting to stay one step ahead of the planetary scourge, Galactus (who devoured his home world). Equipped with a planetary tremor sensor, Meegan can "hear" the tremors a planet gives off when Galactus is near and warn others of Galactus' coming. Without a home to call his own, Meegan patrols the universe, keeping an ever watchful eye out for the sinister Galactus!
