    Hello again fellow mego maniacs...

    Sandy Collora here. Director of "Batman Dead End" and fellow mego collector and enthusiast. I was active on this forum some years ago and have been very busy completing my first feature film entitled "Hunter Prey", but now that the film is complete, I'd like to re-introduce myself to all you guys and share some good news;

    Over the years and course of my career as a sculptor for all the major toy companies and special FX studios, I have sculpted a lot of my own personal custom mego heads for projects, some of which were completed, some of which, were not... Well, to make a long story short, I've decided to use a little bit of this down time in between films, to start molding all of these heads and making them available to everyone here, if that's OK with the administrators and moderators of this forum, and something you guys would be interested in.

    I'll be posting very soon, in the customs section, which heads will be available at first, and which ones are in the pipeline. I have to re-mold a few favorites (hint, hint) this week and get a bunch poured up before I put pictures up for you guys. Feel free to PM for details if you like, or are interested. I've peeked in here every now and again when I've had a moment or two, and can say that this place is simply amazing and one of the coolest places on the web. There's so many dedicated and talented folks in here, it's very inspiring.

    For those of you who are un familiar with my work, you can check out Collora Studios or if you want more info on my new film, check out Official Website of Hunter Prey The Movie Your support is always appreciated.

    Looking forward to learning from you all and more nostalgia, re-living my mego filled childhood with this group. Thanks for reading and best to all of you.

      Hey, welcome back Sandy, great to see you again.
      We've exchanged BDE customs a couple of years ago.

      Good to hear about your custom heads, looking forward to them.
      Also looking forward to Hunter Prey, looks like a movie I'd enjoy

              Thanks guys,

              It's still kind of hard to believe that after 7 years, people still know that little 8 minute movie. I hope you all enjoy "Hunter Prey" and will be as supportive. I should have news on it's release pretty soon. Regarding the custom heads, they're not doing anybody any good just sitting on my shelf, in clay, collecting dust...

                  Sandy! So glad you're here. I can't wait to see your custom work and get some heads. About "Batman Dead End", that is the best Batman movie of any length! With the look of the costume, I don't see how any other costume could ever be used on screen. I've hated all of the movie costumes except yours and the movie from the '66 TV series. I can't hardly wait to see Hunter Prey! So get some casting done already so we can see your work...

                              Hey man, I'm a life long mego fanatic just like everyone in here. In a lot of ways, the mego toys, especially the micronauts line, has inspired what I do today with my art and film work. I think the astounding amount of creativity that in those toys, is something that is seriously lacking in the industry today. Sure, the sculpting and production has grown in leaps and bounds, but the spark that ignited all the great ideas of the 60's and 70's is mostly gone.

                              That's part of the reason why I'm making the time to mold all these custom heads I've sculpted over the years. A lot of them are original designs, that are unique and kind of have that 70's old school, mego vibe. There will of course, be some favorites from POTA, WGSH, and so forth, but I'd be interested to see what everyone in here thinks of some of my original designs... Time will tell, I guess.
