Double G Toys Releases OTMFG Sets!

With Designer Con 2018 just around the bend, hitting Anaheim California November 16-18, it's almost a bit too fitting to bring up some interesting updates regarding one of the former members of October Toys.

Since it's dissolution in 2016, fans have been on the ready to see what was next out of the pair, now on individual adventures.  They have remained mainstays in the designer toy scene, but have largely remained absent from toy production with a brand of their own.  I'm sure I can't be the only one who believes it's just a matter of time before something in the vein October Toys returns.

Recently, George, one of the owners of October Toys, currently under Double G Toys re-released an array of classic OTMFG figures.  These figures were once released monthly, and only a couple at a time.  Over the course of a couple years, fans were amassing quite the collection, but now you can accomplish the same effect with a single mouse click.  But maybe not.  These sets are an amazing buy and a great way to pick up some awesome minifigures you may have missed years ago, but not all of these are master sets.  For example, there are gold and silver variants of the Dcon Vincent for sale on the Designer Con website, but I'm not insinuating these were ever meant to be master sets.  It's just easy to get excited and imagine they were.

These are perfect for those who missed the entire October Toy experience and want to get into what made them so special and popular with fans and collectors.  If you're starting out, this is the way to go, but it's not a bad idea for diehards to pick up some of the remaining stock as well, for extra trade and resale value.

The question remains - is this the sign of a return of October Toys?  I wouldn't quite jump to that conclusion quite yet, but I think this is an interesting move by Double G.  If you want me to gaze into my crystal ball, I would suggest this is a liquidation of sorts.  Whether these were leftovers from the webstore or remained in a personal collection, I would say these might be the last OTMFG minifigures October Toys has left to sell.  And maybe this is a liquidation to reduce unwanted clutter or inventory from storage, but maybe it's the rustling of something more.  I think, whether you feel this is one thing or the other, if these sets fly off the shelves, per se, George will take notice. Instant huge sales could dictate whether or not this was a necessary move for new product or a one-time buying bonanza.  This falling in line with a convention next week has my interest perked for the future, but who knows!
