In this past week's newsletter, Dr. Mego shared the prototype for a Mego Rocky Horror Picture Show figure line that didn't come to be. Would you have been interested in a Dr. Frankenfurter Mego figure?

While hunting toys on eBay, I noticed this figure from Brazil swiped its artwork from an '80s Italian Mad Max/Terminator knock-off film, "Hands of Steel." I love it when my worlds collide like this.

From the Pod Stallions FB group, Kevin picked up this impressive MegaForce grocery store display, who knew the film had food tie-ins? #megaforce #plaidstallions

My long-time friend Steve created these cool CustoMego headless horseman figures, and he's not making any more.

Picked up another vintage toy store flyer, this time it's a Lionel Playworld from 1976.

More on this soon, but for now, take a look at this excellent Barbie illustration.

This wonderful piece of UHF horror showed up this week. Whoever did the slip cover nailed the assignment!

I'm not a big fan of sparkling wine, but I need to toast my fellow Lincoln monsters mad scientists and celebrate the amazing victory in getting our Kickstarter funded. We can't be in the same room tonight, but I raise my glass to you gents, this is exciting!

Cheers!

As shown in my Toy-Ventures Quebec video, picked up some more Monster Glow Puffy Stickers for collection. I see these, and I'm instantly transported back to being 9 years old.

Did a show two weeks back, picked up a Dapol Tardis, Syl McCoy and a Mel (or is it the Rani in disguise?)

I sold my Tardis set a few years back and missed it (not the size of the box though), so this will scratch that itch nicely.

I know @jamesgunn.bsky.social based Krypto on his dog but it felt a lot like my potcake lunatic. Anyhoo, easiest Halloween decision ever!

I'm watching a movie and this guys haircut was so distracting I had to share. What do you call this? A birds nest with flaps?
