On the 3rd of April 2025 our long standing Facebook and Instagram accounts were suspended due to an 'individual' not known to us managing to cirumvent the Meta security principles to link an inappropriate Instagram account to our exisitng accounts - that account was then in violation of the Meta rules of conduct and was banned alongside all our existing content and my own personal 15 year history of memories, friends and photos.

We are working through the extremely frustrating recovery process, but the issue is one that you can read about online and Meta is not supportive of the cases, and most users who are hacked in this way lose their account permanently - locked into a cycle of being unable to log on, and if you cant log on you cant raise an appeal.


If that wasn't bad enough, we appear unable to setup a temporary Facebook page to fill in the gap.


Our Twitter and YouTube content is not affected. We are also active on BlueSky


Update 4th April: I was finally able to locate an 'appeal' email address, so an appeal has gone in but not yet been acknowledged. We are still unable to setup a temporary Facebook page to fill the gap. Our personal temporary facebook account is also unable to join any groups as they all block new users. If you are a member of our Mephitsu Archive Facebook Group or the NECA Aliens, Predator and Terminator Group, please share this post so all users are aware of what is going on

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
