All new for 2022!!! Independent toy makers take on independent comic book icons! The Longbox Heroes Collection™ is the toy line that fans have been waiting for and features a selection of action figures based on some of the biggest names in creator-owned comic books heroes (and villians) including: Madman™ created by Mike Allred, The Goon™ created by Eric Powell, The Tick™ created by Ben Edlund, Mr. Monster™ created by Michael T. Gilbert, Cassie Hack™ created by Tim Seeley, Grendel™ created by Matt Wagner, and The Rocketeer™ created by Dave Stevens. Along with all-new characters The Black Phantom™* and the army-building Onslaught Trooper™* inspired by “The Rocketeer Jet-Pack Adventures” collection of stories!
Each figure has been designed and sculpted by toy industry veteran and historian Jason Geyer aka ToyOtter Toys. These retro-styled action figures have been meticulously created to have the look and feel of arguably the most popular form factor of classic superhero action figures of the 1980’s, along with the playable articulation fans expect and deserve.
“We’ve known each other a long time and have collaborated here and there in the past, but we have been waiting for the perfect project to combine our talents”, says Fresh Monkey Fiction’s Bill Murphy. Adds Jason Geyer, “the love collectors have for the toys of their childhood - Kenner's Super Powers and Mattel's Secret Wars figures, among many more, made us think it was the perfect form factor to pay homage to with the fan-favorite indie comic characters that we all grew up with."
The Longbox Heroes Collection is made possible through an 8-week long crowdfunding event hosted by Fresh Monkey Fiction with items exclusively available through our retail partner BigBadToyStore.com. The Longbox Heroes Collection is a Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) Pre-Order item, which means each figure will need to reach a minimum amount of pre-orders to move these figures into production. If a character does not meet its MOQ during the event the figure will not be produced.
Pre-Orders for the The Longbox Heroes Collection open at BigBadToyStore.com on July 6, 2022. You can follow the event on Fresh Monkey Fiction, which will close September 5, 2022.
