Figures Toy Company has a nice surprise for a Wednesday, this early bird Superman (limited to 200 pieces) is now available. Superman features a never before seen head sculpt (which if we may add, is pretty spiffy), so get him before he’s gone! Don’t miss the Mego Event of the year, Mego Meet 2017!…
I will admit that SuperFriends is my favourite toy line that Figures Toy company currently makes. We try hard to be objective but it’s important to be transparent and admit that this series makes me happy. Even when it’s the Wonder Twins, two characters I tolerated but didn’t adore on Saturday morning but 30 years…
The Super Friends toy line by Figures Toy Company is one of the most anticipated lines of 2015 and their delivery in December meant many 70s kids got some major wish fulfillment in the plastic form of something many of us have pined for since “Challenge of the Super Friends” first aired.

This is Mego’s fully operational 250,000 square…
This rare and wonderful piece from Canada recently surfaced and it’s a neat look into how Mego distribution worked in the great white North. Growing up just outside of Toronto, this catalog, which is hobbled together from a variety of sources, solved more than one “why didn’t I get that” mysteries for me. For more…
This very rare leaflet from Canadian Mego distributor Parkdale Novelty just recently surfaced, showcasing the wonderful different 1975 assortments of World’s Greatest Superheroes. The true beauty of this ad is the multitude of different stock art that was used, as many of these images were not used on any form of Mego packaging.
Anthony at FTC was kind enough to send along a production sample of every Mego collector’s favorite imp, Mr. Mxyzptlk.
Mego fans have been speculating about what characters would be in FTC’s first wave of Superman characters and now the mystery is solved thanks to this post on Figures Website.
