We’re moving full speed ahead into the holiday season, and Figures Toy Company is opening up the floodgates for a whole bunch of new figures that will arrive by the end of the year! From famous presidents to a Cheetah and a Creeper, FTC will have enough new stock to satisfy collectors of all kinds! Here’s what’s due in December at www.figurestoycompany.com:

A variety of US Presidents will be available for the first time ever at Figures Toy Company. From the present day to the distant past, many historical figures are now going to be FTC retro figures!

From the Batman Retro Series, new figures of The Joker and Robin will be released, as well as the first FTC retro figure of Man-Bat!

Collectors can create their own “Jeepers!” moments with Creeper from Scooby-Doo, as well as a Scared Shaggy variant figure!

He’s been one of the most requested retro figures since FTC acquired the DC Comics license, and now he’s coming in both Super Powers and retro packaging. Finally, FTC fans will be able to get their hands on Hawkman!

Another nemesis for Wonder Woman will arrive in stock this December, as Cheetah is released as a part of the WW line.

And lastly, an all new Nightwing puts the exclamation point on this long list of releases!

We’re now in November, so these releases will be arriving before you know it! You can bet that #MMFTCNEWS will be sending out the signal as soon as all of this stock arrives! For those who have already started on their holiday shopping, be sure to visit www.figurestoycompany.com for plenty of items that will look good under the Christmas tree. Figures Toy Company will also have previews and in stock alerts on their social media, so if you’re not already a fan, be sure to follow them on all forms of social media (and if you are a fan, spread the word)!

The Mego Museum Galleries Update

We continue to upgrade the content in Mego Museum Galleries. It's a massive undertaking and a continual work in progress. Follow our regular updates at the Mego Museum homepage and Forums, plus Facebook and Twitter.

Here's what we've done this week:

Our vintage Mego of the Week was Captain Marvel or as the kid's say "Shazam!"

What's New in ReMego!

When buying ReMego items, always consider our sponsor Entertainment Earth, if you use this link we get a modest kick back!

From The Nun, the terrifying movie in The Conjuring Universe, the demon Valak takes action figure form! This clothed figure is based on the demon's manifestation as a nun and features a full fabric habit. Valak stands 8-inches tall, is fully articulated and comes with an additional interchangeable head when you want to take the horror up a level! The Nun Valak 8-Inch Cloth Action Figure comes in window box packaging.

Happy Halloween: We've updated the Mego 2018 Galleries to include this shot of the Bela Lugosi Head Sculpt from wave one:

Attention all avid Mego collectors! Many of you have already come to this conclusion; however, for those of you who haven’t considered it, we want to stress the relevance that: - there will never again be an initial launch of Mego figures…EVER!!!

If you are a true collector, we highly recommend compiling your prized collections of ALL characters from Waves 1, 2 and 3 (once it has officially launched) to make your collections “complete”. You should take into consideration that not only are there only 10,000 pieces of each figure coming out of production (8,000 of the 14’), but also that these figures will never, ever again be available as an initial launch! Yes, there may be re-issues, but never again the original launch, and we have no doubt that each figure will be a valuable asset for set completion.

Happy Mego hunting!

Thank you all,
