Super Collector Newsletter Discussion Thread

[TrekStar]

Pretty darn cool newsletter this week, I absolutely love those Bonanza customs, it looks like the heads for Ben and Hoss came from the American character set, putting those on the bodies must have been difficult, fantastic job.

Thanks for sharing that MRP. What a neat newsletter this week! Loved it!

It was a digest this week-here's the link that my email took me to:

Is the newsletter on hiatus this week?

I was wondering that too, but I see MRP said it showed up in his email...

Like you, I read the newsletter on here since my email has gone wonky on me-No fault of the newsletter though.

I got it in my inbox Friday afternoon.

Hmmm. I did not. Checked spam, etc.

And even If I did, I haven't been able to open and read it for years. I have to check here.

First, I don't know Steve personally. But I have enormous empathy (from personal experience) for anyone with a child in the hospital. Excruciating. Good vibes! Fingers crossed! Everything! That's so tough.

Hard to transition from that.

Nonetheless, seeing the new White Elephant Toys 'El Amuleto de Sangre' figure pair confirms that their tastes eerily parallel mine. When I was 13, my family moved from a suburb of Washington, DC, to San Diego, CA, and there, pre-cable TV and pre-internet, I discovered all these awesome low-budget genre films featuring Mexican wrestlers. The most famous one in America is 'The Robot vs. the Aztec Mummy,' but there are so many more that I discovered on TV broadcast from Tijuana 40+ years ago. This new figure set reminds me so much of those films. If I have any quibble or hesitation about buying (beyond wondering about the price, before the official release in a few days), it's that I don't have any nostalgia attachment to that mummy sculpt. But I love that dark, blood-red color!

The 'El Hombre Lobo' custom is also totally awesome!

As someone who also really likes the White Elephant Toyz' Atomic Apemen, I completely loved those photos, especially the one where Space Ghost and his teen companions are caged: completely awesome!

Thanks for the newsletter, I really needed it this week and as usual, it did not disappoint. White Elephant and BrentzDollz, wow.

Steve, I hope your family is doing well.

Sending my positive vibes as well. Hope everyone is doing better soon.

Fun newsletter and I love those Banana Splits customs, also adding positive vibes to Steve and his family as well.
