Samples! Samples! Samples!

WOOHO!

It's Christmas in July (for us anyway), as we received our factory samples yesterday. This little sneak peek, courtesy our friends in China, was a mere smattering of what's to arrive in a matter of weeks... Along with the influx of new custom parts, we are rolling out Captain Action and Dr. Eville v2. these include new paint jobs and all new card artwork by none other than Art Thibert. They were sent over to display at SDCC and we will have a full array of pictures here at the dotcom soon. If your making pilgrimage to nerd Mecca this year be sure to check them out, Shocker Toys has graciously allowed us to display them at their booth (#3849 ). Check out their booth full of exciting toys and give our new stuff a peek! Snap some pix and send them in if you feel inclined...

One other little nugget for you hardcore customizers: We have lightened up our custom body Pantone color. See the sample below for comparison. We think this is going to be a sure fire pleaser... our other bodies sold out so fast these will probably only last a short time...

1978 Reimagined! The MEGO What if Catalog!

What if?

• Mego hadn't passed on Star Wars?
• There were additional waves to the World's Greatest Superheroes line?
• The KISS dolls were 8" tall so you could use them on other adventures?
• Scooby and the Gang got in on the fun?

These are just some of the answers the MegoMuseum community tries to provide with their newest publication "1978 REIMAGINED" a full color fantasy catalog created entirely by the members of the MegoMuseum forums! The project started as a challenge to customizers to come up with concepts that may have been included and were then judged by a panel including former Mego Employees.

The end result is this fantastic publication with artwork by Anthony Durso, which provides full color pages of fantasy Mego catalog layouts for Star Wars, the World's Greatest Superheroes, Star Trek, Universal Monsters, Wizard of Oz and much more.
It's a tribute to the World's Greatest Toy Company and to the many talented customixers we have in our fold.

The 1978 REIMAGINED Mego Catalog is now available for order, quantities are limited. Each order includes a free first edition Mego Museum Trading card (while supplies last).

Show us your stuff! Cast-a-Way Stuff!

Hey Guys and Gals.
I want you! No seriously, I want pictures of you and your Cast-a-Way Stuff... I am putting together a little slideshow/Video and would like to include YOU! So what I am looking for is a picture of yourself, or your kids or a bum on the street holding one of our figures, or even a custom you made with our stuff. Nothing lewd or inappropriate, but funny is definitely ok... be creative!

Just send the pictures to David@castawaytoys.com

BIG NEWS! Cast-a-Way Toys Welcomes a new partner!

Yep! Well good folks of the inter-web another team member has washed ashore and is now marooned here on Cast-a-Way Island... Bryan Bossart of O'Fallon Illinois is now a fellow Cast-a-Way, and brings with him one impressive resume. With a background in Marketing and Advertising as well as general management and an MBA, this guy is an impact player, and we couldn't be happier to have him. Besides all his fancy ejamakashun, he's one talented dude when it comes to action-figures as well. Have a look at some of his handy work, he's no joke when it comes to 8 inch action-figures... So look for some immediate improvements around the island, and for you club members he'll be tackling the long overdue Club Newsletter, so look for that soon as well.
