Satin Monster: Superfly Edition

Mantooth — Fri, 27 Mar 2015 08:00:00 +0000

Presenting the latest release from Odeon Toys, Satin Monster: Superfly Edition. I’ve brought him back by popular demand but this time he’s wearing authentic 70s wear that has been featured on PlaidStallions.

I based this one off the “Maxi” an outfit I actually owned.

Each Superfly Edition Satin Monster comes with a Can and real platform boots.

Ladies not included but will likely appear….

The first 8 are available now, more later. Get ’em over at my Mego Museum Mall Store.

Odeon Toys Presents: Captain Canuck

Mantooth — Sat, 24 Jan 2015 14:05:00 +0000

I’m proud to finally announce that Odeon’s latest action figure, Captain Canuck is now available to order.

For years, I had been struggling to find an iconic Canadian character to bring to market, many of the attempts dissolved when rights weren’t clear. Which was kind of a bummer.

Thanks to my friend and partner in this Sam Noir, I was introduced to the good people at Big B Comics and Captain Canuck Inc, who are as responsible for this as I can claim to be.

Captain Canuck definitely resonated with me as an Ontario lad, I distinctly remember him drawing pictures of him saving the prime minister (with a thought balloon of “why am i saving this guy?”, because at 8, I was a master of political satire.). If I had seen this hanging on the shelf of my local Woolco in 1976, it would have been mine.

The photo above is the entirely selfish reason I did this.

Many thanks to Paul “Dr. Mego” Clarke, Mark Huckabone (you saved the maple leaf buddy!), Andrew of Covalt studios, Paul from Laser Mego and Brian Leitner.

Thanks for reading.

You can get the Captain Canuck action figure at the PlaidStallions Shop right now.

And Hey, if you’re in Canada and want one today, you’re in luck, it’s Captain Canuck day! The figure is launching in comic stores like Big B and Strange Adventures (pictured above) right now in cities from Coast to Coast, here is a list.

Brick Mania @ Mego Meet

Mantooth — Fri, 06 Jun 2014 12:46:00 +0000

The underlying theme of this year’s Mego Meet customs auction was Brick Mantooth, I donated Brick heads to any customizer that wanted to provide their own take at our spokes model.

The results are as I’d hoped, a fun fusion of mad skills and imagination. Above is Brikk Mannigan and yes, he goes commando.

Meet Brick’s wrestling alter ego “Brick Schlithouse”

Stormtoother and Squeeze Leia are a take on an obscure science fiction film whose name escapes me.

Doctor Thrust is an adult film star who gained super powers.

Brick as Captain Avenger, his resemblance to John Ritter is amazing.

What if Brick was an Italian Superhero? meet Super Faviloso.

Toy Hawk is going to swoop in and take money from my wallet.

Vantooth is the sweet ride Brick drives around in and solves mysteries, I love this more than air.

What a fun experiment and one I hope to repeat next year.

There are plenty more amazing custom Mego items up in this year’s auction and you don’t have to attend Mego Meet to bid on them, check out this site for more information.

Captain Canuck storms the toy shelves

Mantooth — Fri, 13 Dec 2013 21:42:00 +0000

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 cover of Time, but for decades, Superman had one thing over Canada’s Superhero… an action figure. Canadian toy maker Odeon toys in creative partnership with EMCE toys and Big B Comics are righting that wrong. The 8 inch tall figure which will retail for $24.99 will have the look and feel of a toy released when the first issue of Captain Canuck, by creator Richard Comely, hit news stands in 1975.

“We were looking for an iconic Canadian character for our first release, and I can think of none better than Captain Canuck, ” said Sam Noir, project coordinator at Odeon. He added “I was one of those kids who looked for a Canuck figure on toy shelves in the 1970s, I must admit, we’re pretty excited to be doing this.”

The Captain Canuck figure will be available in 2014 at Big B Comics (www.bigbcomics.com) locations and online at www.megomuseum.com andcaptaincanuck.com.

About Captain Canuck Incorporated: Captain Canuck Incorporated (CC INC) was

founded in 2012 by Fadi Hakim and Alex Sengupta. Entrusted with Richard Comely’s patriotic creation, the partners enlisted television industry veterans Dean Henry and Paul Gardner as Creative Directors to re-imagine Captain Canuck for a new audience.

Brick is Micronaughty

Mantooth — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 05:30:00 +0000

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 justice and he totally knocked it out of the park and exceeded my expectations here.

I was hoping to have the figure out before Christmas however I’ve had a rather harsh lesson on chemicals and it’ll take me until new year to fix the problem (boo). However, if you are looking for a unique gift this holiday season Tim has graphic novels for sale.

Micronaughty will likely land in January 2013, limited edition of 10. More on this and other figures soon.

New from Odeon Toys

Mantooth — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 04:30:00 +0000

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 in Wheeling, West Virginia. So if you’re in the area, please stop by this Saturday and say hi.

More information and photos after the jump.

Micronaughty will likely be the first figure released in the series, it will feature card artwork by the great Tim Baron. I had a lot of help on these little labours of love and I can’t go without thanking Sean Sansom, Paul from Laser Mego for the fantastic reel to reel chest piece and the gang at Cast-A-Way toys for the great advice.

Next up will be “Polyestar: The Ultimate Man of Pleasure”, many thanks to Ed Leung and Stephen Leach for design help on the graphics on this one.

Polyestar features a hand sewn outfit by Theressa Chapko and under his jacket, you’ll find the true secret behind his powers. It’s closely guarded and I owe it all to mad genius David Lee at Cast-A-Way.

I have several other releases planned for Project Mantooth that I’ll reveal in the coming months, each will be limited and will get weirder and weirder.

More updates for these will be posted on the Odeon Toys Website in the coming weeks as well as the return of the Megomuseum Super Collector.

Thanks for indulging me folks and while I won’t be posting much this weekend, look for me at the MegoMuseum Twitter and Facebook pages where I’ll be doing some live reporting from the floor of Megomeet.

If you happen to stop by please visit my table for free trading cards and to sample my world reknowned eye watering body odour.

Odeon Toys Returns with Project: Mantooth

Mantooth — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 05:01:00 +0000

I’ve updated the site for my semi-fictional toy company Odeon Toys adding some new sections to help chronicle some of the happenings of The Brick Mantooth action doll, here are a few highlights of what’s available:

Project Mantooth will be a series of limited Edition Brick figures that are based on iconic characters of the 1970s. They’ll be new designs but quite familiar, these will be limited to ten of each figure (mostly cause I think that’s the most I’ll sell of these) Much more on this later.

Manmates are the mad idea of my pal Steve and are limited edition Brick figures in authentic Catalog outfits, the first one called “Purple Heeeyyys” sold out in a day. Check out the next offering “Green Sleeves” soon to be for sale at the Mego Forums.

Show us your Brick chronicles the many fun custom Brick images people have sent me.

It will be a loooooong time until I break even on this whole affair but stuff like this just makes it worth it.

That plus the site now has a link to the store where you can order Brick and his alter ego The Mego Museum Super Collector (which should be back in stock soon), Playsets, vehicles, upcoming comic book adventures and much more.

Check out the newly revised Odeon Toys Website.
