I can’t imagine anything cooler than custom Monkees action figures. Check out  Mickey, Peter, Davy and Mike! I think they captured Michael Nesmith’s side burns perfectly. They always said the Monkees were made of plastic!

The only thing is, they were never made, they were custom made, in the classic Mego style.  The Mego company made rockin action figures in the early 70’s, but the company has been out of business for years.  Don’t fear, loyal fans are keeping the dream alive by re-manufacturing them! See the Mego Museum and check out the kind of toys Daddy played with as a kid.

You can read about Mego in this Wikipedia article:

In 1972, The Mego made a landmark deal and secured the licenses to create toys for both National Periodical Publications (later DC Comics) and Marvel Comics. During this time period, Mego released the very first ever comprehensive line of DC and Marvel character action figures and coined the term World’s Greatest Super Heroes! To start the line, Mego introduced Batman, Robin, Aquaman and Superman. But others soon followed.  read more.

If we could just get those Mego guys to make some rock themed action figures. Hmm. . .custom Mego/Beatle action figures! While I wait for my birthday you should check out some of our action figures here

According to the website selling the guitar:

It was “one of seven models produced by Selcol. The ‘New Beat‘ guitar is made from red and burgundy plastic, and measures approximately 32 inches in length, with a full color group sticker and facsimile autographs on the body. The New Beat logo is picked out in silver to the left of the sound hole. It came with an original coffin-shaped cardboard box with a 9″ diameter full colour sticker on the lid. The package also contained an original fold-out instruction sheet, with lyrics and chords to five songs. Copyright issues prevented any of these from being Lennon-McCartney compositions.”

Pascal Ayerbe is, in our opinon, the coolest Toy Musician on the block. Sure there are others, but none as kooky or fun to listen to as Pascal. Take a look at all his instruments!

I guess you really can rock out on a rubber duck.
