As always, thanks for the work in collecting all the news in one place.

I’ve been away on vacation all week, and it’s been difficult to keep up with everything.

I love that Elvira custom!

Great newsletter. What an historical week in Mego history. It's hard to fathom a more important period in this hobby's existence than everything that has taken place in the last couple of weeks. Mego has returned and demand appears to be there to greet them with all the relevance and reward we ever could have dreamt. Nice to see the assistance offered from many a good soul to make sure everyone who wants these can get them. It's also cool to see vintage Mego figures enjoying a resurgence in values. It speaks well of what has unfolded and how invested the community is. As always, custom specimens are a knockout and the vault for unproduced and uncovered treasures from the Mego-verse continue to grow. Not a bad way to start a weekend! Great job guys.

It truly is kind of a golden age, i can only see this as a positive.

Looks like a wardrobe malfunction on Elvira

Fist Fightin Riddler...only FF I ever had. No idea how that happened. I want to say he was at a liquidators.

Me too! I have been accumulating hair sculpts for various customs, but that one is the coolest by far.

Those KISS figures do look good. Admittedly, I don’t know the originals inside out.

Some KISS fans have quibbles, these are things I wouldn't have noticed if you sat me in a room all day with them. They are all changes that the licensor forced on FTC BTW.

Very cool. I'm really interested in what's changed and why.
I'm off to do a little side by side!

We’re the same with that.

Hi Brian. You mean the box presentation or the different hairdos?

The names on the boxes don't say Peter, Ace, Paul etc but the character names. As a casual fan, even a Mego collector, I wouldn't have noticed that.

[EmergencyIan]

^!That seems strange, to me, since the packaging has images of specific members on it...and their likenesses are in the figures faces. Strange world of KISS these days.
