Fresh Monkey Fiction's Longbox Heroes was a 2022 toy line that celebrated classic comic book characters with a retro-inspired action figure aesthetic. Independent toy makers, Fresh Monkey Fiction & ToyOtter Toys united to bring independent comic book icons to life with their very own action figures. This series is inspired by the comic book toys of the 80s, and Wave 1 was a success with releases from The Tick, The Goon, and even Madman. Fresh Monkey Fiction and ToyOtter Toys are now back with Wave 2 of LongBox Heroes with a brand-new set of heroes and villains. This collection will feature new characters from The Tick and Rocketeer, along with new debuts from Hallow Fire, Mage, Grendel, and Savage Dragon!
Twelve figures are featured in this wave, and all will stand 4.5" tall with impressive card back packaging that features great artwork. A variety of unlockable characters are also teased, which will be unlocked when certain stretch goals are reached. Finally, seeing Savage and Malcolm Dragon action figures in this set is a real treat, and it is nice to see independent comics like Savage Dragon finally getting some fun and unique collectibles after all this time. Each LongBox Heroes figure is priced at $25 or a full set for $275, with the goal being $150,000 to start production. Check out the full Kickstarter campaign for a full set of figures, unlockables, and more.
