Re-Mego of the Day: Buzzcut

[RSS]

While CTVT concentrated mainly on licensed properties, they did manage to squeeze out interesting items such as the Mad Clowns, Buzzcut was a more adult orientated offering from the company.

Hmmm, never was a fan of the Mad Clowns, altough I must admit the sculpts look cool

[The Toyroom]

Not a fan of these either.....never understood their marketing strategy in making these oddball characters other than somehow tangentally trying to extend the Mad Monsters line.....

Horrible figure.

Waiting 25 years for "new Megos" and getting junk like this was quite depressing.

Um.. yeah. Doesn't seem like a suitable or lucrative direction for the Mego line.

I really liked the clowns line. At
least it demonstrated some unique thinking.

I like the Clowns as well they're not the best but not bad either

[AAAAA]

I contacted CTVT, i wanted to use the Mad clowns in a Comic book for My Character "THE STREETS"
the story line was they were petty criminals Hiding out in a traveling circus got there
powers when try to steal an Aztec crystal skull from a museum.The skull take over the maestro and inturns bestows powers on to the other 3.CTVT turn it down.

I thought the Mad Clowns was a good idea and actually pretty creative but could have used a bit of fine tuning. Buzzsaw is a perfect example of this. A saw blade in the skull is a bit too gruesome for a retro style figure, in my opinion. Other than that I think the are kinda cool and make good generic villians.

I kinda liked the Mad Clowns. Just wished they had done another couple of waves of them.

The perfect mechanics for a Joker Bus.

>A saw blade in the skull is a bit too gruesome for a retro style figure,

Although the way it's presented it might not actually BE in his skull; it might be an ornament. (LIke one of them Steve Martin arrows.) I think the guy with the "Clockwork Orange" eyeball stretchers is more gruesome.

>The perfect mechanics for a Joker Bus.

They would. I was kinda lukewarm on 'em; but I eneded up with a Maestro, and he makes an awesome bad guy. As a kid I would have been all over these; since there was a definite shortage of bad guys and the Clowns could be crazy guys, monsters, ghosts, whatever.

I really like them, and eventually they are going to serve as The Joker's henchmen/goons.
