Captain Canuck storms the toy shelves

Canada’s Superhero gets his first action figure Toronto, ON, Canada (Dec 12, 2013) – Following his new animated web series, Canada’s own iconic champion, Captain Canuck gets the action figure kids have been looking for since his debut in 1975 with a new release from Odeon Toys.  He’s been on a postage stamp, even the […]

Brick is Micronaughty

It is with great joy that I unveil the packaging art for the upcoming “Project: Mantooth” figure “Micronaughty”, produced for me by the amazing Tim Baron. I’ve admired Tim’s style for some time and was happy he wanted to work with me on something. I offered him this project because I knew he’d do it […]

Greatest store display ever

Jodi sent in the wonderful store display that she spied in an antique mall. It’s sadly not for sale, which is too bad because i’d be tempted to get it despite the marital strife it would (understandably) cause. Can’t explain why magically being whisked to the Sears Men’s department in 1974 gives me goose bumps […]

New from Odeon Toys

I can’t believe it’s taken me a year to get these samples created but these are the first two figures from the Project: Mantooth sub series I’ve been working on. Each figure will be limited to about ten units and have custom packaging. All of this (and me!) will be at this weekend’s MegoMeet toy show […]

Introducing Man Mates Fashion Outfits for Brick!

Every once in a while, somebody totally “gets you” and this is one of these occasions. My pal Steve has whipped up a series of fashions for the Brick Mantooth doll. Named “Man Mates” (after the classic JC Penney series of leisure suits) each represents a different, authentic 70s outfit. Honestly, he not only gets […]

Unleashing the Mantooth

It is with great pride that I open up the ordering for the Brick Mantooth doll. Some important information:  This is just for Brick, it does not include the Mego Museum Supercollector outfit, those will be back in stock in mid August at the same URL. (The mini museums are a pain to make) This is the first batch, […]

Mantooth: The Commercial

Recently discovered in the basement of Odeon Toys Founder Vic Machismo’s house, this commercial for the Brick Mantooth doll hasn’t seen air since the fall of 1976, when it aired on Buffalo 29 at 3:30 am in between a rerun of “Room 222” and another rerun of “Room 222”. We are happy to unveil this unique […]

Factory Brick

While I shared the Super Collector Factory test shots at the Mego Museum a while back, I never revealed the factory test shots for Brick himself. I put Brick’s production into the careful hands of Paul “Dr Mego” Clarke and I gotta say, he treated my brain child as one of his own. When I […]
