Megalopolis Announces Battletoads, Clay Fighter, and Earthworm Jim, and More Retro Action Figures

[ludovicotek]

Whoa! Will definitely be interested to see what they do with Earthworm Jim and Battletoads.

[webz]

LOL Hope these scale well with Storm Collectibles. Would love to see people make Mortal Kombat vs Street Fighter vs Bad Mister Frosty!

[DarkS]

Clayfighter.... Clayfighter... CLAYFIGHTER! That Bad Mr. Frosty fig is mine!

[Dolemite]

I have to admit, I have a soft spot for Clayfighter. We'll see if this line shapes up into anything worthwhile.

These Rare properties occupy a very weird and specific part of my heart. I remember going over and over the Nintendo Power with Clay fighter 63 1/3, but Earthworm Jim was one I played the hell out of despite never owning it. Hope Jim pegs into the suit with a ball peg and can be pulled out and plugged into a full worm body.

I remember playing the hell out of Earthworm Jim as a kid. Not so much battletoads because it got insanely difficult instantly.

[Ninjinister]

Damn, no 1/18s. I suppose potentially someone from these lines could scale alright. Like a mutant Peter Puppy or sommat.

EDIT: Oh and the Great Mighty Poo.

[goatchumby]

For Battletoads I say "bring it on!" They have been on my want list for years; 90's versions of the three toads and the Dark Queen would toadally make me one happy camper.

As for EJ, I remember the old figures being pretty sturdy and well done for the time so I'm curious to see what improvements Megalopolis has in mind.

[Atomsmasher]

This really caught my interest

[JerpJerp]

This is fascinating. Has Megalopolis made toys before? What exactly is their role in the process?
I have too many questions right now lol. It seems like the most awesome thing ever to have one of our Mega giant online toy retailers making and selling toys. Am I the only one who thinks this is mind blowing? Are there other cases of this happening?

[Primacron]

Professor Monkey for a head and Queen slug for a butt please!

I wondered what was up too. They just had the Madballs/Barnyard Commandos announcement recently and I think they’re just starting.

Doesn’t Amok Time Toys do the same thing? Retail plus their own jonks?

Yup. Amok Time has been releasing their own toys for years now.

Now with Battletoads, Clay fighter and Earthworm is like a whole toy company over there. Amazing. I can see buying from all of these properties.
I think I found some Star Trek stuff from Amok Toys. It was hard to find a line of something

[Thor Laserpunch]

That’s the name of a Star Trek episode. You’re looking for Monstarz. That’s Amok Time Toys stuff.

Thanks for that! I checked it out. Lots of retro goodness. There wasn't a lot of stuff but I'm a fan of the properties. I had to buy the monkey and the crate. It was all about the crate.
