Hey, if you haven't already, please tell me your top 3 figures of the year here.
A pretty fantastic week for new releases; we've got some fun reveals from our friends at Mego and FTC.
Also, we will be talking Mego Meet shortly and opening up dealer tables and hotel room blocks.
I hope you're all well; let's have some fun in 2023. We've earned it.
Cheers,
BraIn

Figures Toy Company sure knows how to start the New Year, because 2023 is kicking off with a double dose of Puppy Power! The first #MMFTCNEWS of the year is an announcement that many collectors have been waiting for; the arrival of Scrappy Doo at FTC!
Scooby-Doo's nephew is currently available at http://www.figurestoycompany.com in a two-pack that contains a regular edition Scrappy Doo figure, as well as a "fighting" variant that depicts him ready to tangle with whatever ghosts and ghouls come his way! With all of the original Mystery, Inc. lineup having already been produced over the years by FTC, Scrappy is a welcome addition to their popular Scooby series of retro figures!
This year is already off to a good start for fans of FTC, and there are more products and plans in the works that are being kept under wraps! Look for future #MMFTCNEWS updates to reveal some amazing items from across all of the licenses that Figures Toy Company has been working with, as well as special sales such as the Retro Display Box DC Comics figures now costing only $19.99 each! Check back for the newest update next week, and be sure to follow Figures Toy Company across social media for even more previews and product updates!

"I want my cake!!"
Nathan Grantham from the “Father’s Day” vignette in the 1982 George Romero Creepshow movie complete with his daughter's severed head as his cake straight from Mego's factory. The figure is coated with a textured paint to represent the dirt that Nathan brought from
his own grave.

Joining Nathan is the long-awaited Alice Cooper figure in his iconic "Welcome 2 my Nightmare" costume - complete with separate top hat! Alice Cooper is the Godfather of Shock Rock!
Over five decades, his psychedelic music and stage theatrics have inspired glam,
hard rock, metal, and punk bands around the world!
In 2010, The Alice Cooper band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Mego's figure portrays “The Coop” as he appeared at the induction ceremony on March 14, 2011.
These figures are on the new MA26 body and will be hitting retailers this winter. #MakeMineMego

A little homage to our childhoods. These should be available in the next couple weeks. Limited to 50 pieces. If there is enough interest, I’ll make more. Atomic Mike and Mummy 2 pack. These will be made on our Super Joe body. The figures will come with treasure chest, jewels, and the pickaxe as shown on the artwork. Don’t snooze on this one.
