So a while back, when Ben's book was first due to be released, I'd mentioned to him and in a couple of threads here on the forum that several people I knew or was acquainted with in the Metal music scene were quite interested in checking out the book. There's alot of Mego collectors and toy collectors in general in this scene, in fact. Among them are Charlie Benante and Scott Ian of the band ANTHRAX (who I'm sure many of you have at least heard of before). Recently, one of my closest friends who happens to work for Anthrax was able to snap this pic of drummer Charlie Benante displaying his newly acquired copy of the book, and I thought I'd share it with you guys and for Ben to see 
He and Scott (who we didn't get a pic of yet, sorry!) were pretty amazed with the book, though I think Charlie is now hoping for a book that'll feature Planet Of The Apes Megos as well!
As times go by and more opportunities arise I plan to try and get more pics of some well known people in the music biz who are fans of Ben's book. I can't tell you how many people in the scene that I or my buddy Willie have spoken to who've said, "Oh man I've seen that book, it's amazing!" or "Yeah I picked up that book already!"

Cool pic, I remember reading in the past that Charlie and Scott were collectors. I wouldn't be surprised if Kirk Hammett has a copy too.
