Amazing Heroes Reborn Action Figure Kickstarter Launches with Savage Dragon, Madman & More

Fresh Monkey Fiction Amazing Heroes Reborn Action Figure Kickstarter
Remember the 90's? I WAS THERE!! Toward the mid to late 90's, it seemed like anyone with a self published comic and a dream could get action figures made of their ultra cool exxxtreeeeme characters. Was plastic cheaper then? Was China having a sale on the production of busty, scantily clad female hero action figures? I DO NOT KNOW. Comics like Hellina, Ghost, Ash, Double Impact, Brigid and Ultra Force all got their characters immortalized in plastic from companies large and small...and then it all stopped. These days, it takes a great deal of word of mouth and estimated potential income to get any company to agree to making action figures from any property, even if it's a very well known movie from our past. Luckily, we've got folks like Fresh Monkey Fiction who step up to utilize the power of crowdfunding to give our underappreciated comic book heroes their day in the sun.

Starkly confessional, Head’s memoir chronicles his transformation from a 19-year-old virgin who hates his family and lives at home to a successful Brooklyn-based cartoonist who’s raising his daughter as a single dad. The journey along the way? It’s complicated and messy, uncomfortable and unforgettable.
