Hey,
Been crazy this week, the new issue of Toy-Ventures dropped, and I got to cover one of my "top five" Mego lines with the Comic Action Heroes. I struggled with this one a little (can't own everything!) and I reached out to members of the MM and PS communities for help.
I got that help, a lot of it, and hey, thank you all for that. I wanted to nail this coverage, and thanks to many of you, it's a fitting tribute. I hope you agree.
Cheers,
braIN
 

Get ready, because this week's #MMFTCNEWS is about to spring a pleasant surprise on all of the collectors out there! Easter may still be a few months away, but that's not stopping Figures Toy Company from showing off their latest holiday-themed offering...The Easter Bunny retro figure!
 
Built on the retro style body and designed with a fur bodysuit and soft goods, The Easter Bunny will be hopping into stock in the near future! Collectors can use him as part of their Easter decor every year, pair him up with FTC's previously released Santa Claus figures for some holiday themed action, or get creative by mixing him in with a variety Figures Toy Company's other retro figures. Imagine The Easter Bunny helping Mystery, Inc. solve a case, or going up against Egghead alongside Batman and Robin? 
 
The Easter Bunny will be in stock along with an assortment of new items in the near future, but until then make sure you're all caught up on your FTC collectibles by visiting http://www.figurestoycompany.com and shopping the huge selection of in stock items!

Mint off Card: Mego Creepshow


I want my cake! Mint Off Card looks at the upcoming release from Mego and the new license based on Creepshow, the 1982 horror cult classic. This figure set is based on the story "Father's Day," I do something I've never done before by doing a minor tweak.

Hotel Information: The show hotel is the Hilton, it's across the street, and you don't even have to go outside as the Hilton is connected to the convention center. There is a block of Power-Con/MegoMeet rooms here at a discounted rate, but I'd act fast.

Say hello to the third teaser for our Power-Con 2023 exclusives: Dark Headless Horseman from Mego Corp.

Initially released in 2019 in Wave 7 of their popular Horror Series, the Headless Horseman became one of Mego Corp's most popular figures in recent years.

Now the Headless Horseman is back with his Dark powers unleashed in this limited Power-Con exclusive! He will come in an all-black faux leather outfit with silver accents. And his iconic pumpkin head, along with his hands and sword, will come in a translucent orange that makes the flames of his evil come to life!

This is just a teaser of this incredible figure. Stay tuned for more details about Dark Headless Horseman and all things Power-Con.
