The Presidential Monsters Are Unleashed!

[wolfie]

I think making these presidents into monsters is a great idea and they all look great. Lets hope they don't just stop there but just go after all the world leaders past and present and turn all them into zombies and monsters.

They would make a great on going display with some great backgrounds.

Really looking forward to seeing some more of these.

I can't help it, but I like these.
It's just harmless fun.
I'm hoping for a Sarah Van Palin (with stake-firing rifle), and a Monica from the Black Lewinski, though....

Btw: whoever sculpted these should get a raise. Excellent likenesses....

The sculptor for this line (other than Barakula) is Sean Sansom, my very tired friend who worked day and night to make toyfair.

These are very well sculpted, well-executed figures. I'm sure they will stir up some controversy, especially the presidents of the last 50 years or so. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about them, considering my stance on Marvel Zombies merchandising being all kinds of wrong. But then again no one makes diapers with Lincoln and Clinton on them!

When are the regular ones going to be released, I really need a Lincoln to go with my Screw On Head custom.

Monica in the black lagoon? Least we know she can hold her breath...

August release date.

Screw On Head? Great comic and cartoon. Oh, this I gotta see

[megoscott]

So much for a controversial media firestorm. This is the only mention I could find in news coverage. He loves em.

I like 4 and a 1/2 of them...LOL

This is my first time seeing Nixon. Lincolnstein is my favorite. Ron-My is my second.

[Sandman9580]

I love these! Every one of them gets my vote!

They're clever, and really creative and well-executed. They're snarky, but at the same time there isn't much there to politically offend anyone, unless you have a hero fetish or something. (Lincoln is a personal hero of mine, but that just makes me want Lincolnstein all the more.) Reagan as an ancient, withered mummy is perfect... Obama as a suave, updated Blacula... Clinton as the lycanthropic old horndog... G.W. as a zombie ("...brraaiiins!")... Nixon rising from the murky depths of Watergate... how could anyone not love these? The Kennedy one had me confused, until I got the "White House/Opera House" connection. You have to imagine him in the labyrinthine depths below the Oval Office, maniacally playing "Camelot" on a pipe organ, trying to serenade Jackie (...or is it Marilyn?). Now we just need a glow-in-the-dark "Nuclear Fallout" Harry Truman... and a crazed, axe-wielding George Washington with wooden chompers and unkempt wig.

And to anyone who thinks that these are in poor taste... well, of course they're in poor taste! Isn't that kind of the point? Isn't that where the fun lies? I think an occasional dose of iconoclasm is a good thing. And besides, we need the purifying light of parody to help counteract the glum shadow of Puritanism that still haunts the American landscape.

These are like a goofy combination of U.S. history, Scooby-Doo, and an SNL skit. I think they're cool.

Tell him that he did an outstanding job.
IMO, he can sculpt ALL new ReMegos from now on....

[Gorn Captain]

As I see it, you can't go wrong with this line.
It's lighthearted humour, and everyone will get what he/she wants:
Fans from the Presidents can get the "regular versions".
Fans from monsters get the ghoulish versions.
Customizers get great sculpts of hands and feet, plus detailed costumes.

I'll get a couple of these, because they make me smile, which is rare in the world of politics. And I'm sure that the presidents who are still with us will smile, too, and maybe get one for their desks at home.

And hey, the ReMegos just keep on coming: isn't that fantastic?

I have no reason why but the more I look at these the more they grow on me. At first I thought "why?" but they are VERY well done and I am thinking about buying a set. And I don't even really care that much for monsters or presidents!
