^ Looks like the fellow either retired his kaiju prints or was asked to cease and desist....

 

Well that is really too bad. Especially since there are several other 'big name' licenses there. I thought most of this would fall under artistic license rules, but there is a legal grey area I suppose, and no one really wants to fight the legal power of big studios.

Excellent office set up in any case, I wish I could work in that kind of environment. The woodblock prints are especially lovely; I just saw them for the first time on Linda's IG. Love the Gamera one! I could definitely do with that duo.

Very nice. Good to see another useful [for a change] application of IG filters. By way of a first, firsthand report, is the quality on these up to snuff? I admit I am jealous of yet another great toy that Americans can just stroll down their department store aisle and pick up at their leisure. Int'l toy geeks need [much] more love.

 

The navigators:

It's so nice to be genuinely excited about an American toy aisle again. Hope it lasts! Mego Star Trek Sulu Chekov

I'm most impressed by all aspects of the four I have in hand, from attention to detail to quality of the bodies underneath the gatb. Bela's outfit is particularly stunning.


Publicity!

 

@Vombie Congrats on landing that Turtles set! I am pretty jealous. I'd welcome just the chance to check these out in person. Neca did such a great job with the Eastman and Laird versions, which will always be tops, but man do I have some serious love for the Henson Turtles! Really sweet man, really.

@toothaction Public internet seems to be blocking that link, but anyhow, great to hear that the quality on these pays off. That is a nice set all ready for away mission adventures. Welcome [back] to kiddom.

 

I have never heard (or seen) those Neko Busou before, but they look like a lot of fun. Immediately took me to the Rick & Morty episode.




I think the tank is my favourite, something I am going to have to add to the eventual trackdown list.

 

It's worth a revisit, if you want my two pennies on it. The show actually is pretty brilliant, but I can totally get and respect how it is an acquired taste going into the first couple of episodes. I've tortured myself by sitting through a lot of painful shows, but honestly, this one is not one I would ever regret being patient with. But if not, hey, that's completely fine too. Beats toy drama in any case, of which you never have worry over ending.

 

Yup, Mego's back and they've successfully separated me from some of my slim dollars:

To be continued.
Frankenstein, Spock, Gorn, Action Jackson, Chekov, Sulu, Bela Lugosi Dracula

 

If they make some proper (and I mean proper, none of this Mission to Gamma VI stuff) playsets for away missions or haunted mansions, I will be so, so happy.

 

The Preminger family had a taste for something sweet:

Finally got around to photographing my FTC Otto. I like him!
Mr. Freeze, Batman '66, Figures Toy Company, Bif Bang Pow!, BBP, knob, Pinmate, Funko

 

Picked up a doll that I wan't really sure about - a good sale was going on, and I needed to bump my order a bit to get free shipping - but it's as I suspected...

He doesn't quite go with the rest of my 14" dollies:

Can't seem to figure out why, though.
Mego 2018 Golden Age Batman, Pigmon, Kanegon, Kemur Seijin, Pretty Godzilla

 

Those are some delightful big fellas, but man.... those shelves.

Glad you finally got one in hand now, D, to make some judgments on this bit-of-an-oddfellow. The larger figures certainly leave something to be desired versus the classic scale ones, but then, for the right price, he can probably be some easy action figure fodder or ripe for some outdoor display or adventures.

But MAN ALIVE. Those shelves.
