I got these two John Wayne customs back in 2009. The head sculpts came from Dave McCormick who I also think painted them.

At the time, I also wanted to make an army Wayne from the movie (Sands of Iwo Jima) but never got around to it, so I put together Cowboy Wayne and casual Wayne.

I have almost every movie he made, plus tv show special appearances, I’m only missing two of his movies, which were damaged because of chemicals which I guess ruined the film and the movies are now considered lost films, I believe the UCLA film archives has stills from those movies. (Adventures End) and (The Oregon Trail) both made in the 1930’s.

Damn, even though I do not like John Wayne, I would have bought plenty of them for the western outfit.

I'd trade a lot of Mego releases for Virgil from Planet of the Apes but to each their own.

^There are definitely some "might have beens" I agonize over.

Over the past several weeks, we have seen so many cool "what might have been" possibilities. The sculpts have all been fantastic. So I'm torn on this question... Would I rather have the figures Mego produced, or the figures Mego cancelled?

P-P-P-Pow!

I love that Astro Simians General Zol, would look good up against my mego Star Trek figures.
The shelf of CAH is awesome, nice collection.

I don't recall meeting Lee at the few Meets I attended. I wish I had, he looks like he had joy. RIP.

And: LightWriters featuring... Flash Gordon. Flash Gordon!? Amongst the DC Trinity? WTH, I'm (a little) ticked off. Must find one of these and customize into Aquaman.

Otherwise, great newsletter--thank you!

Nice newsletter and great customs.

I am sorry but the ReMego Svengoolie Theater is closed this month. I now have to drive to take care of my nephew in the evening (2 hr trip one way) because my Brother and Sister-in-Law both work at night and during the day I am taking care of my Mother now that Dad is no longer here. So I just do not have the time to work on the new movies. Hopefully next month but with Christmas break coming who knows.

Just seeing this - that's a grind and you're awesome for stepping up. Not everyone has family when they need it.

Nice little piece on The Power of the Force!

Another fun newsletter. RHPS show would have been great. Can we do the Time Warp to make it happen?
