About Subversive Playthings

In 2014, my mother passed away after a decade-plus battle with cancer and I turned 50.

Shortly after that milestone birthday, I began obsessively buying vintage Mego Action Figures on Ebay. Before long, I embarked in earnest on what would become my biggest personal creative project... so far.

Beginning January 1, 2017, I posted a new custom “vintage” action figure on Instagram every day, for a year. Five years later, in 2022, I posted new content six days a week.

To date, there are more than 650 different designs. For most designs, I “manufactured” three individual figures. For some, I created more than fifty.

Welcome to the world of Subversive Playthings. It is a world populated with hundreds of 8-inch scale action figures that never were.

If you would like to own any of these figures, please contact me at the address below.

The terms for purchase are simple enough:



In addition, we recently began listing some of our figures on Ebay. You can either search for “Subversive Playthings” or visit our TBReserves store here:
