Hey folks, if you didn't catch my Livestream this Saturday and well, I get it if the Mego collector folks didn't these days. I'm doing my follow-up to Rack Toys with a book I've titled Knock-Offs: Totally Unauthorized Action Figures. This is a piece I've been working on since 2012 but stuff got in the way and I had to put it on hold. I'm glad I did because it just made the whole thing better.
Knock-Offs is a celebration of the dimestore bootleg figure, the copyright-infringing silliness that was meant to fool our grandpeople. The subjects range from toys of the 1960's to the 2000s and include every popular genre you can think of.
The book will also celebrate the amazing bootleg toy-art scene and I have to say, the work these folks create is pretty darn infectious.
The book is expected to launch in December, to keep updated, join our mailing list here:

Thank you for considering. Be well.
