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.

The terms for purchase are simple enough:
- Email me with a list of figures you're interested in, and I'll check to see which figures are available
- Most figures are available for $25 each
- Due to the value of some vintage assets, some are more expensive and are priced individually
- $5 Flat Shipping to the continental USA only
- Orders of $100 or more will receive a free gift of our choosing
