    I had to re-read the news about the new S Type bodes a couple of times... so they are revealing new 6-inch bodies a MONSTER 8-Inch bodies? That's pretty cool, except should 6-inch be 7-inch to replace the teen body? Whatever, I am looking forward to new bodies and accessories. I think we would have to see parts that will allow for use of items like the plug-in boots and gloves, or new plug-on boots made especially for the S Type bodies, like the shoes they already sell. Coming Soon!
    sounds good to!

    Love, love, love the Wonder Woman Bracelets! Doom looks great, but that is one of the best Black-suit Spider-Mans I have seen. Love the Western Stuff too. I still pine for a Mego Lone Ranger. Lots of other good custom work this week too.

        Really excited about more body types, but I'm not sure what a monster body is unless its a typo and they meant a type-s muscle body, which would be awesome!

          I guess it could just be monster == big, which again would be awesome!

            Great news on the type s bodies, I only wish they would make them with the black boot legs too.

              I assumed they meant the Hulk body.

                    Not liking these new WW releases...ugly. Looks like they were phoned in. To sum in two words...HARD PASS.

                        First off, always look forward to these newsletters each week! A highlight to start off my Friday! I thank you.

                        Second: oooooooh those FTC Wonder Woman and Diana faces look...like evil Linda Blair Pazuzu-possessed Bad Seed Dianas. Diana Prince in particular looks dire. Not minding that WW costume update, though...

                          Thanks old chum, but we all know you do the heavy lifting.

                          My biggest observation from this week is that I miss the days when I could walk into a KayBee and buy a Sgt Rage figure. I guess all this new Mego crap is OK

                              Great stuff as always. I agree those ww figures are a mess. Don’t think open toe shoes are military regulation either

                                Great newsletter! Love the customs profiled this week. Truly some fun and original ideas in that lot! Neat seeing the JC Penny Catalog from 1983 and the flashbacks that offered. And to think I was starting my first year of college then. Wowzers. Always a treat seeing the Lincoln monsters plus excerpts from Toys Ventures. I highly recommend everyone pick up these issues. Its truly a lost art to see the subject covered as beautifully as it is here. The labor of love is well on display. And yeah, I totally agree the FTC WW reveal is a head scratcher. Not a good time to be putting out blow molded limbs in this marketplace. But boy oh boy was it a treat seeing the new Mego lines. Not worried about the change in color on the ape hands because a little paint app on the fingers will bring those to life real fast. Plus I like the paints on the heads this go around. Gives them a fresh appearance from the older lines. Good times! Thanks again for a great newsletter. The hard work shows.
