Hey guys and gals,
Like Jason said we had a great time at the FX international this year... the show wasn't great but hanging with friends was a blast. To all who stopped by the booth, I just want to say thanks. Especially to Scott Arendson, and Art Baltazaar who are two of the coolest folks I've had the pleasure of hanging around with. Also props to Lady Zod and her husband (General Zod?), Mishu2nite, Shellhead, Toys2 Cool (whom I missed and his hot wife), and anybody else whom I missed (my apologies) since we don't all have MM name tags on.... Big ups to Dave LePage who we worked like a government mule, but who kept us laughing the whole time (drinking a brew in your honor right now Dave :wink:).

The stuff from the show is due here in Kansas City Tomorrow night and then off to you early birder's, sorry the way things turned out, but I think you'll be happy with your packages.

Lastly, thanks to you all for the support. It seemed like the Phantom was cursed. Mego optioned it but never made it, Flattworld never got theirs past pre-production, and it looked bleak for us to have them for FX, but we made it! here is a snap of two stow-aways that made it home with me.

Cheers!

Thank God for Cast-A-Way Toys! I'm an Early Bird on this amazing Phantom rendition and can't wait to receive mine. Also looking forward to place an order on the removable mask Phantom-Captain Action figure and Red Beard-Dr. Eville figure. Dave / Jason, keep them coming... Kudos!

11 years ago when I became a Mego collector, I never could have imagined that I'd ever see new Mego style figures being made again. Now we have this awesome Phantom figure that just screams, "Buy me, Doc Drako! You MUST have me in your collection!"

I just hope I can come up with the extra money to at least buy the basic Phantom at some point, and all the other awesome Cast-A-Way figures that have been made. I have Dr. Eville, and he is so awesome. I can't wait to own them all. I have made a vow to buy at least one of every figure Doc Mego makes, and I have added Cast-A-Way toys to that vow since buying Dr. Eville. I can't wait to see what's next. First I need to buy the figures available before they are gone forever. And I plan on buying lots of Cast-A-Way bodies for customs because I love them. All my "Megos" need swivel biceps because I actually play with mine. Sometimes alone, sometimes with my son. Swivel biceps are necessary for some poses.

Keep up the tremendous work, Cast-A-Way! You make awesome toys!

I had held literally 100's of those phantom figures in my hands and all I have to say is that for those waiting on one and those that plan to buy one, You WON'T be sorry! These bad boys are sweet!
In fact, everything that I saw and handled that weekend was top knotch!

It was great to re-unite with the Castaway skank boys as well! :)
