I've been tied up with a bunch of different projects over the past few months, but there's still been some great progress. For the time being, I'm focusing on the Star Attack Battle Station as more folks are interested in the Station than the Ultimate Star Battle Spaceship. Here's what's happened over the past few months: First up, Star Attack Battle Station superfan, Leatus Reed found a nearly pristine vintage example and was kind enough to loan it to me for the cause. This was a great help to the factory so they could see exactly what the unassembled pieces looked...

Here's a small update about the Tim Mee #749 Deuce-and-a-Half 2-1/2 Ton CARGO TRUCK project. I know folks want to know when, how much, will it come in tan?, etc., but I don't have those answers just yet. Last May I sent off a vintage example to get quotes for a new mold and then....crickets. Here's the deal - some of you may recall the large scale Tim Mee #739 Jeep reissue finally arrived last fall, but was nearly 2 years late. That was due to several delays from the factory's toolmaker when a new wheel mold had to be...

The Tim Mee Legendary Battle Fantasy Figures started out life in the early 1980's as Marvel Activated Superheroes, were then retooled into He-Man wannabes, disappeared into obscurity, and were eventually resurrected as a Tim Mee Realistic Reissue in 2013. Now, more than 3 decades after their creation, the Tim Mee Fantasy Figures make a Prime Time appearance in the 3rd episode of Modern Family's 10th season on ABC. The episode is titled "A Sketchy Area". There have been a number of Tim Mee TV and Movie sightings in over the years, but they have usually been fleeting, and often hard...

There's been some recent interest in new production of the Tim Mee Ultimate Star Battle Spaceship and Star Attack Battle Station. These are 2 crazy cool 'Action Figure' size accessories that were found in big-box stores years ago. As some first steps, I've set up an email list and and an Ultimate Star Battle Facebook page to gauge if there's enough demand for a reissue. There's already enough folks signed up for us to move forward getting production quotes so we can figure out just how much reissues will cost. I have no idea how much they will retail for...
