Just a big Thank You and Shout out Anthony from Figures Inc/ CTV, his Family & Staff!
Ok Kids – I know I have been gone for a while. The summer with work, vacation & 3 kids is so time consuming - so really not much time for anything for me.
So good news bad news – one day last week while on vacation in FL. 2 of the 3 kids were sick. We could not really do anything with them except give them their meds, and let them rest for the day and take a break from park hopping. That was the bad news.
The good news is the wife was nice enough to let me go visit Anthony over at Figures Toy Company for the day! So I jumped in the car and drove over to Tampa to meet up with him.
He has been kind enough to invite me a few times over the last few years but vacations are always to short so could never seem to squeeze it in – but this trip I really wanted to and was lucky that I was able to.
While I always talk to him on the phone and via e mail – it was so awesome to finally meet him in person. He was kind enough to give me a full tour of the Figures Inc Head Quarters and even his home. He has an amazing staff – and an even more amazing and beautiful family.
Being able to sit in his Conference room with him and his staff to talk Megos and FTC/CTV/ Wrestling was an awesome experience – they really have so much knowledge it is truly mind-blowing to hear so many amazing stories. I took many pictures - but sorry - I can't share - maybe a year or 2 down the line after all this stuff is released I can share a pic or 2 of the confr. room when its old news - it is truly amazing to see them all lined up all over the walls across the room - so awesome!
His warehouse was 10 times bigger than I had expected it to be. All the Figures inc goodness was all over the place – I was like a kid in a candy store just walking around – was even hard to stay focused because aisle after aisle there was just more of it!
I also got to see and touch most of the proto types. All I can say is WOW!! You people better start saving up – because a ton of new stuff is coming out and all of it looks Awesome!
I will not go into full detail as it is not my place to – But I did see the first 2 or maybe even 3 waves of the Superfriends figures in person! You guys will love them! I did see the next wave or 2 of Batman TV series and I will say this Yvonne Craig Proto Types look Bat-tastic! Titans look amazing! And to see who else they have coming in that line gave me Goosebumps! Lets not forget the next wave of superman Jimmy and Perry were sweet up close! And my absolute fav was holding Aquaman and the shark MIB! I think that is because I never had one as a kid – I was almost tempted to run out the door with it But that would have been rude when I had such an amazing and generous host who even was kind enough to give me a copy of the Special Edition of Benjamin Holcomb’s Mego Book. (which by the way is beyond Mind-Blowing! Shame on me for not owning this book before this!!! The pictures are incredible and I can no way describe just how awesome this book really is!! You really do have to get it!!)

So again – Thank you to Anthony, His Family and his staff for being the most graceful, generous and best host I ever had!
Next trip we will make a whole day out of it
