    I can't tell you how many Anchorman figures I've purchased.
    Loud 70's suits? It would be brilliant, wouldn't it?

    I need a tan 3-piece and a camel jacket...this could fix all my problems!

      It would fill the void in my soul.

          I find it interesting that the sculpt is less cartoonish than their Obama figure... Also, do we know that this will be a Mego style figure? The Obama figure was not, if I recall.

            They may have chosen that direction because Heroes in Action had beaten them to the market.

              I'm in love with that Trouble Alert Table LaserMego made! Fantastic! I somehow missed that.

              Great newsletter as always.

                Just a smidge of a let down after Johnny Quest and Scooby Doo.

                Also, the Figures Toy Company link in the article is taking me to an Ohio State log in for some reason.

Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house.

                  Great newsletter, I thank you for it. I'm excited for a line of presidents. I'm not sure if I'm terribly fond of that head sculpt for Trump. It seems a little thin thru the jaw line. It might look different on a body from more angles. Trump should be on the "fat" body. We need a better name for that body. It's so insulting when it's in reference to someone living. If they made an action figure of me it sure wouldn't be on that new skinny body. They could call it the not fat enough body. Bring on the X-Presidents, Lincoln, Teddy, FDR, Polk and more. Especially a FDR in an American Bada$$ wheelchair.

                    Obviously I'm not super big on Presidents but I like the idea of more suits.

                      a Presidents line sounds really cool, but they can't make all 45? actually Teddy Roosevelt won twice but not back to back
                      so technically 44 men have been president. Although this is interesting, I'd rather FTC finish up the 66 Batman line first.

                        If I had to guess they'll do JFK, Lincoln, Washington, Reagan, a greatest hits package. I doubt they go "Martin Van Buren" deep.

                          I never saw the appeal. I didn't get it as a kid and don't like it now.

                          It's like, hey kids, you can choose a toy of Batman, Superman, Spiderman, Hulk, Wonder Woman, Conan, Tarzan, Lone Ranger, GI JOE, etc. or an overweight 70 year old with a comb over.

                            Oh for kids, it never really made much sense. I can see adults, especially military collectors digging them though.

                              An FDR figure would be great with a classic Capt. America.
