Super Collector Newsletter Discussion Thread

You know, I wonder the same things. I am now forced to pay to keep the Newsletter running due to MailChimp's changing goalposts, but I can't see some older editions. I'd hate to think 10 years of our output are gone.

That was my secondary intention in archiving them, so that I could return them to the Museum in some form if the hosting service ever flushed them.

No hurry, but if you find the time to investigate, please let us know what you find!

I may have asked this before but is there a complete archive of the newsletter available?

I like to revisit past newsletters. I used to keep a PDF archive of each week's entry, but I suddenly became the family medical wrangler and got out of the habit. Tried clicking the link in old emails and while they were still accessible, many of the images were no longer available.

The newsletter is the highlight of my week (not sure what says about my life, hee, hee!), and I appreciate everyone that contributes to it! Thank you!

Poochare! Had no idea there were Easter eggs in the newsletter, fun.

I've been doing that for ages, although I do fear some people have tried to find meaning in me posting a fart interrupting the coronation.

That toy show looked sweet: nice SMDM stuff and the playset fabricator.

Anyone else click on the picture of the Brick Mantooth figure under the Flashback section?

That Scarecrow is...scary.

Well I bought that postcard. I had no idea they did this during the Hulk TV series.

Another DC Comics Scarecrow and the face just doesn't look right.

Now growing up I remember reading Batman comic books and the cartoons with Scarecrow and then shopping with Mom at K-Mart I saw the WOZ Scarecrow and talked he into letting me pick him up for my Mego collection. As a kids, my brother and I had no problem using the other Mego/Knock-off Megos as characters in our DC/Marvel world. I just wish we had taken pictures of our playroom.

I'm certainly not going to apologize for Mego's recycling or oddities of design, both are very apparent in the 50th line. But the largish KC Superman proto head appears to me to be just that, not a repaint of Red Son, which I have in hand.

Cool. I don't mind the recycling at all, I just would really like to see some of the other characters from Kingdom Come, I am just not sure how realistic it is to expect them though rather than just the Supes figure.

Has Mego given any indication if they are going to do more Kingdom Come figures than Superman, or is Supes just an easy one off variant because it's just a different costume and slight repaint on an existing figure Like Red Son and the Big Lots Supes?
