Super Collector Newsletter Discussion Thread

[ODBJBG]

As a huge AJ fan this is great news to me. Hopefully lots of outfits and accessories. And some crossover with the Adventure Command stuff.

I'm excited for Action Jackson, too. I really want to support Lincoln Monsters and White Elephantz' efforts.

I need to pay more attention with Jason's new line--I'm struggling now as a late-comer to "complete" my Super Joe Adventure Command collection.

The Action Jackson announcement is really exciting. I love that they are doing this as a whole line, with good guys and bad guys. Iron Jaw looks super fun!

I am really impressed with the recall of Action Jackson. I may have to pick them up.

Iron Jaw is definitely inspired by those Big Jim images, but Jason made it his own. He has a real cool rogues gallery planned, ten figures, five heroes, five villains. I think this is the best way forward for this line.

Great newsletter once again, and thank you to everyone who works to do these!

The new White Elephant Toyz Action Jackson line is targeted directly at me. Not only am I already a really satisfied customer of theirs many times over, I still have a box of the original AJ figures and various clothing sets from my 1970s childhood, as well as a MIB verion of the Action Jackson modern Mego released around 10 years ago (and I'm not an MIB collector). I'm not of Hispanic heritage, but Action Jose is the figure I liked the best (or, at least, the artwork depicting him). I also really like the Iron Jaw villain character. I assume his face and name are a direct callback to the 1970s Atlas Comics barbarian character of the same name (also with a very similar looking titular iron jaw)? I also love that his face is blue. Wasn't there also a Big Jim character concept from the mid-1970s for a villain called Iron Jaw (who also had an iron jaw)? But my really vague memory is that the figure was only ever released in.... Italy? or maybe Europe more broadly? Either way, this new Iron Jaw has definite vintage vibes. (Maybe a Hammer & Sickle insignia sticker will be available for purchase separately?)

Thank you for sharing HighQuality's Telco guide. It's a good tribute. I've long-admired the Telco figures; it's great to see them catalogued. Someday I hope to get a Phantom of the Opera.

I'd never seen that Bat Track before! Is that a Batman themed Big Track? I never read Big Track by a friend of the family did and we had a lot of battle between Big Track and my Starbird ship.

WoW !

Amazing Newsletter.

Lots to see and read. Love that Conan, really amazing work. That Woder Woman card is amazing, that is the direction DC should have taken.

Got go back and read more from this weeks news.

More power to Mars Toys, re: umbrella man, but how are they still in business? I'm surprised corporate copyright dogs haven't shut them down.

That muscular body for the Conan custom is what I would want to see for Namor, or other shirtless heroes, like Ka-Zar, versus the usual Mego bodies that work great with clothing, but look spindly and unfinished without it.

[PNGwynne]

I saw it!! Oh lord, I saw it. Time to start selling some stuff. Thanks for the shout-out, gents.

In addition to Buzz, this is a stellar newsletter. The proposed Mego hero cards are heartbreaking. Great customs as always, love that Doc Savage.

[Werewolf]

That Wonder Woman card art is really nice.

Blakes and UFO are of the same cloth, darker science fiction. I love them both for different reasons, things UFO had Blake's lacked and vise versa.

Also, here is today's newsletter, it am are good, u go read now! DO!
