Brick Mantooth/Super Collector Playset/Display


First of all, a HUGE congratulations to the Mego Museum and Plaid Stallions for the Sell Out of their first wave of 100 action figure kits of Brick Mantooth and The Super Collector in just a few days since it was quietly released on the Mego Museum forums with little promotion. Given the clothes and accessories this came with, it was an incredible deal for only $23.

Cast-a-Way Toys online store will be carrying Brick Mantooth/Super Collector soon.

Not resting on their laurels with this success, The Mego Museum has teased some additional tie in products that expand the world of play for Brick and the Super Collector.

Available now at Dida Displays, is The Super Collector Display by Super Collector co-creator MegoScott.


Coming soon to Dida Displays is Brick Mantooth's Swingin' Bachelor Pad playset/display/carrying case.




Finally, there has also been a tease of a line of limited edition fashion outfits for Brick Mantooth. Keep popping into the Mego Museum forums for further details.

Captain Toy's Review of Buck Rogers and Tigerman 1/9th scale action figures



Here's a review with some terrific photos of the Buck Rogers and Tigerman figures. These pics really gives you a sense of the amount of detail that was put into them.

Both currently on sale in the Cast-a-Way Toys online store for only $25. Bundle them with Action Jackson vintage outfits for additional savings.

SHAZAM! The first Brick Mantooth Customs


One thing that was noted by the customizers at the Mego Museum was the strong resemblance the new Brick Mantooth retro action figure has to 70's Shazam TV show star Jackson Bostwick, who portrayed Captain Marvel.

Thus the first kit-bash customs we are seeing over in the Mego Museum Custom Community are Brick Mantooth dressed as Shazam/Captain Marvel.

This custom is super-easy if you use our special bundled custom package which we call "The Cheese", in honor of the good Captain's nickname (The Big Red Cheese). The kit comes with our new standard flesh body, Red body suit, Yellow Gauntlets, Yellow hero belt, and new Yellow flaptop boots, and grpper and standard hands. Thats a $31 dollar value for $20



Don't forget, you can also purchase vintage 70's Action Jackson outfits from the Cast-a-Way Toys Online Store to customize your Brick! You won't beat this deal anywhere... $5 per set or all 6 for $25!

What makes the Cast-a-Way Toys Bodysuit different?



"SEAM TIGHT" Closure.


it's a velcro closure in the back that eliminates the unsightly gap and huge snap. Each suit comes with a protective strip to eliminate snags to the suit before you fit it on the body. You put it on, peel off the extra fuzzy side strip and overlap the two sides... viola!



Purchase our exclusive custom Bodysuits for 8" action figures in The Cast-a-Way Toys online store.

More Cast-a-Way Toys The Phantom Action Figures sold on eBay!



Please note that these are NOT our auctions.

We are shocked that the regular Purple edition of the Cast-a-Way Toys 8" retro style action figures of The Phantom have recently been sold on eBay consistently for $100 or more.

We don't see our product listed on eBay that often, which is nice to know that a majority folks are hanging onto their action figures from Cast-a-Way Toys because they like them.


We'd prefer that folks enjoy their toys rather than treat them as investments, however it is flattering that there is demand for our product in the secondary collector's market as well. Hopefully this is the testament to the quality and timelessness of our figures.

Brick Mantooth... UNLEASHED!

Pressure Pot Resin Casting for Action Figures


There has been a great deal of interest in the 8" Mego custom community to learn more about pressure pot resin casting, particularly for heads and accessories. Our friend Austin (megowgs from the Mego Museum online community) did an excellent presentation at Mego Meet last month.

We found this video on YouTube that you might find helpful.
