This week we've revived an old column we used to write, the CustoMego Profile. We used to do this in the pre-social media days and missed doing it.
Some incredibly talented people are making some mind-blowing stuff, so once a month, we'll let you know the person behind the creations.
So this week, meet Randall and read his fantastic story.
Cheers,
Steve and BraIN
PS if there is something you think we should be doing in this newsletter, drop us a line.

Last week, #MMFTCNEWS let the cat out of the bag that Figures Toy Company would be arming their action figures with an assortment of new weapons and accessories. This week, the selection has grown even more, with some new additions being made to the FTC armory!
New guns, a chainsaw, a crucifix, and shears are just some of the items being developed to coincide with all of FTC's new, original S Type characters and creations. Whether you want to use them with your officially licensed figures from DC Comics or with characters like FTC's zombies and aliens, these accessories will make your retro figures stand out even more than they do already!
The assortment of new accessories will be made available on FTC's sister site ClassicTVToys.com once they're available, and that's the same place you can find the variety of S Type bodies and character heads to create your own retro figures! Then there's also Figures Toy Company's main website, http://www.figurestoycompany.com, which is where you'll find your favorite characters from DC Comics, Hanna Barbera, a variety of pop culture icons like Evel Knievel and The Three Stooges, and much more! You can also get updates on FTC's current and upcoming products across all forms of social media, and more exclusive #MMFTCNEWS right here each and every Friday!

Vintage Mego: 12" Spider-Man (MegoMuseum.com)
Vintage Mego returns with a look at one of Mego's favourite subjects, the Amazing Spider-Man. This time we look at the exciting development of the 12" figure and its many iterations and variants.

CustoMego culture has exploded on the Internet of late, and we at the MegoMuseum felt it was time to bring back Customizer profiles. Our first subject, Randall Wall, is new to us, and he’s doing some very cool stuff. Look for more profiles every month. CLICK HERE TO SEE HIS WORK.

Tura Satana Inc. is the only company authorized to grant official Tura Satana licensing and merchandise,Tura Satana Inc. was formed to ensure the credibility, quality, respect and attention to detail that Tura herself always demanded.
