Yes, absolutely keep the politics out of it.  Everyone should know better.  Thanks for their reminder.

The first wave had some cool designs but one can see the concept running out of steam quickly, only a few of the new ones are worth looking at!

I agree. At their Toy Fair booth there was a take-off of Robby the Robot called "Romney the Robot". An action figure based on a losing presidential candidate? Boy, I can't wait for the Thomas Dewey figure!
Seriously, they'll be running out of desirable presidents AND monsters - Grover Cleveland? I dunno, maybe a "Cloverfield" take off...

But I liked Romney the Robot

I bought two of them at a toyshow recently, they're gorgeous but I don't need the whole set.

Oddly I bought a Democrat and a Republican monster, always was a fence sitter.

These are the brainchild of Mark Huckabone. Any old time collector will remember that Mark has been in the toy business since he was 11 or 12, I think. I first met him at a toy show outside of Chicago so many years ago. He was the best source for Mego dolls in the country.

I have to give kudos to the guy. He ALWAYS loved toys and loved selling them and now he is making them. And I agree that they are a very nice looking and original product.

By the way, If you want to combine your Monsters and politics PLEASE do watch Dr. Shocker's  FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLFMAN Presidential Debate. There is a thread in the general discussion forum as it has been nominated for a Rondo.

I wish the CTVT Mad Monsters looked as nice as these.

Mark set up next to me a couple of times at a tiny show near his hometown when he was like 12-ish, with his Mom. I said to my wife, 'Who's the kid?' He was always extremely toy-knowledgable, and as Dan said "Mr. Mego" himself. We became friends, and along with Mike Karberg, traveled to several shows, and even split some "finds". Mark's a good egg.
