    Great newsletter Brian! Wow! That was loaded with Mego goodness. Neat to see FTC rolling out the traditional bodies for the latest DC heroes like Flash and Green Lantern. Those finds at a local Goodwill are INSANE! With those odds, I think I would have played the lottery that same day. Very cool Mego Meet exclusive with E-Man. Very nicely done too. I'm still trying to understand the Weird Al fascination. I'm even less connected to wanting him as a figure, but hey there's a market for just about anything I guess. Very nice Mego commercial. That picture looks so crisp it feels like it was made last week. Love your custom Batman for the Meet Brian. Now that is a very stylish and well crafted looking figure. Love to see that in person.

    Wouldn't it be amazing if ROM is added to the Transformer theatrical universe? Now that prospect would get me back into theaters to see a new installment. Not a big fan of the new DC logo. I thought they had already changed it a few years back so this is doubly confusing for the brand. Did Snyder design it? LOL! I can't wait to see your finished product for Mall of Justice. I so wish I had pics from meeting my heroes at a young age. Unfortunately that was seldom an occurrence and never a planned one, so there were no cameras on hand to capture those unique moments for myself. Another great newsletter my friend. You are absolutely the soul of this hobby today. I appreciate your hard work and undying love of this craft.

      Great as always, it's a pleasant coda to what have become challenging work-weeks.

      I was surprised to see the design of the back of Plas' costume.

            Substitute Superboy for Lana, if I recall correctly.

              Piping hot newsletter filled with exclusive reveals and info. Seriously, this would be a double issue were this a Marvel comic.

                      I personally like Raven and StarFire.

                        I'm kind of digging that Captain Marvel head.
                        Expectation is the death of discovery.

                          Oh WOW! That Shazam head is PERFECT!!! Liking the Teen Titans too. Brian are the Titans in the seven inch scale like the first series? Oh and the Mego Flash Gordon profile you and Jason did is superb!!! Great job.

                                I think Starfire would be fine if they piled the hair up more. Raven looks good. Like Nightwing, but not sure about the open mouth. But I'll get him for sure.

                                They did listen to us about Mary! Like Captain, Freddy and Sivana's headsclupt. Still wish they'd fix that cape. The style guide is WRONG!

                                Great newsletter. Loved the bits about Shipp as Garrick and Cap as traitor. And appreciate the art plug!
