Hounds tooth Harry customs?!?!?!?

I'll probably have one of these for sale on Sunday, it all depends on the shoe Gods.



It will mingled in with all my (gently used) back issues of Swank that I'm known for.

Dibs on the Swanks!

Shoe God promises to have a pile for you (albeit with a light sprinkling of plaster dust due to home reno).

Although it begs the question what you'd have to trade for them given that cjefferys has called dibs the crown jewels already.

That sculpt is awesome!

Had a terrific time today at the show! Delighted to finally meet Haggis, who was set up next us at the Mego Museum tables (with much more Mego Goodness than we had!). It was a nice large venue, and transit-accessible for Toronto city-folk.

Awesome chatting with Fitski, his bro' Tony, and Ubermanx, who all drive an incredible distance to attend these shows.

As always, even if we weren't there selling toys, it's always a great excuse to hang with my partners in crime, Chris and Brian.


So... seeing as how these shows have become impromptu Mego Museum gatherings anyways, we've spoken to the organizers and they are open to grouping us all in one area next time where we can have a "Mego Meet North".

The cool part is, we were already working with them on an exclusive Mego-style custom figure for January.

That sculpt is awesome!

shout out to gaga4toyz, who did this for me close to THREE years ago! This on was a long time a' comin'.

Yes, I had a great time hanging out with you guys as always, Ed. And getting to see Santa Claus and Jesus at the show too, man oh man! I think that grouping us together with the other Museum members for the next show is a great idea. It's really surprising how many folks from southern Ontario are members here. Today I also sold a toy to someone who isn't a member but said he is a regular "lurker" here. An unofficial Mego Meet North like this is a cool idea. And yeah Ed, you gotta make sure to bring Brazoos butt up to the next show.

PS Next time we will keep a better eye on your cookies, Ed.

Fun show, weird show but fun nonetheless.

Nice to see so many folks from here in one building, also happy to sell so much stuff. It was downright surreal having Santa and JC in the same room, also you hear about cookie theft but you never think you'll be a victim.

Some photographs from said event.

Boy, I think it's time for me to get a bit of a haircut! And, bye Moonraker Holly, you will be missed!
