What is the MEGA Mural?
Mega Bloks created the ultimate building experience at this year's San Diego Comic-Con (July 12th to 15th), by transforming their booth into a community build wall -- the MEGA Mural. Mega Bloks invited Comic-Con guests to visit their booth to add as many blocks as they wished to the MEGA Mural in order to help build a giant Mega Bloks Power Rangers Red Ranger Mask.

Mega Bloks, an active supporter of organizations dedicated to autism, would like to reward Motiva Associates with the MEGA Mural for their dedication to children and families affected by this disorder.
