I have an older sister.  Being the kid brother I was put through the sibling gauntlet of experimentation.   Occasionally I would get a hug and compliment but mostly terror.  A hose turned on while dressed for church, a practical joke extending to my sister and her gaggle of gossiping goons (aka mallrats), the “I’m going to lick your

I’m sure you’ve heard it before.  It goes by many names; Murphy’s Law, Mercury in Retrograde, Human Error, Bad Luck, Black Cats, Lucky Number 13...if you believe in superstitions or voodoo (I do), some times the Universe has its own inexplicable plan and the best thing you can do is surrender to it’s omnipotent and unrelenting forces.  In the end, everythin

I live in a great part of West Hollywood.  I feel connected to my community, I should, I’ve lived in West Hollywood going on 22 years.  Originally from the suburbs of Laguna Beach I vowed in a praetorian declaration to my mother as a wholly confident 12 year old that I would never live more than 5 miles from the ocean, and if circumstances were such, death would become me.  Shortly after High School I traded in my surf gear for a pair of drumsticks, stricken by Rock N Roll fever I followed my sickness to Los Angeles where a cure waited from

Poseable Action Vinyls™ Illuminate a Pathway Back to Play for Collectors!

Funny enough, all I hear in my head while writing this post is David Lee Roth’s “Yankee Rose” – ‘Are you ready for a new sensation!’  It’s probably because I have Thundercats mania too.  Literally.  I’m as excited as you to find Thundercats in the wild and dote lovingly and overbearing/boorishly like a grandma at Christmas who doesn’t know her own strength or bosom size.  Hey, it’s Christmas time; you know you have one of those Grannies.  Each time she comes in for a hu

“You wanted the best, you got the best!  The hottest”…wait, this ain’t KISS, let’s start this over.   “You wanted the best, you got the best!  The hottest Collectible in the market!  The Loyal Subjects Action Vinyls™ x Thundercats!”  Queue HUGE pyrotechnics, thrones of screaming fans, teenagers weeping, face melting guitar riffs and Lion-O blasting Mumm-Ra with the power of the Eye of Thundra Sword!  BOOM!  Minds officially blown!  This is how I feel when I see this Wal

"THUNDER!  THUNDER!  THUNDERCATS!  HO!"  Fast forward to Sugar Smack up tempo electro rock blasting your homework procrastinating brain into another sugar surge!  Riding the lightning like the pummeling "in ride" space rock tune blasting through the tunnel speakers on Space Mountain.  Bobbing and weaving, ducking rollercoster tracks as if you we're about to get your head taken off right before dipping into an LED dripped Black Hole.  Does that blast you back to the past?  It should!  If the Thu

Hello Folks!  Seems like ages since we've been back on the Blog.  There are good reasons.  I could count a million but for the sake of brevity I'll just list a few; Dallas Toy Preview Tradeshow (was H U G E), signing up more licenses, having a bullet train of a production calendar rolling through town like bolts of lightning, expanding in more stores with more retailers, hiring on a new marketing firm to help TLS tell our awesome Lebowski style story, building a new website (Yes!  Finally!), adding new folks to the TLS Team, ready'

Hot Topic is one of our favorite retailers!  They also stock a healthy selection of TLS Action Vinyls and they have one of the best Action Vinyls exclusive programs on this green earth!  The Hot Topic x TLS assortmetns are usually metallic (more flashy and expensive to make), are loaded with accessories, have plenty of hidden Easter Eggs (Club 28 + Rare Chase items), are very low edition runs (outside of Club 28 some 1/96 Editions are sub 100) and have all the great story telling features you have all come to love about Action Vinyls!  It's al

"Yo! Joe!  G.I. Joe!  A Real American Hero!" --> If that doesn't put you right back into the sand pit or curled up on your couch after school with a bowl of Captain Crunch then I don't know what does!  G.I. Joe is a pillar of our youth!  The TV series!  The Toys!  The Vehicles!  The Playsets!  Heaven!  I got my first G.I. Joe when I was 10.  There used to be a spinner rack at Thriftys that had Star Wars toys on it.

San Diego Comic Con 2017 was pure magic!  It's our 5th in TLS history, certainly our biggest, our most fun and undoubtedly our most rewarding!  The reward was the communion - an equal communion of play, fun, anticipation, imagination, friendship and connections all stemming from our mutual love of pop culture and, of course, the Action Vinyls!   We love what we do and we hopefully pass our passion to you in a fun, imaginative, playful, artful, quality collectible --> Action Vinyls!   

Them Dragons are flying!  It's absolutely amazing seeing the TLS Army's support of the HTTYD TLS Action Vinyls Line!  If ever there was a labor of love it's Dragons.  We went through several conceptual iterations which took almost 2 years!  These were very intricate, detailed collectibles and we really were aiming for the sky.  Our first concept included sounds, LED effects but proved to be out of reach if we were to bring those ideas to market - just think, a Dragon that cost $60.00!!  Too much.

Toys R Us MOTU Exclusives are now on shelf at participating Toys R Us!  Get Disco with it, get Maskor with it, get Mini Comic Variant He-Man with it!  The Disco Skeletor is where it's at.  Certainly a must have for the TLS MOTU Action Vinyls collectors!  Very limited quantities are available so check with your local Toys R Us for stock!  This set does include a Club 28, a couple random prototypes, and a single Gold He-Man!  The Toys R Us assortment ties up the last Retail Assortment for MOTU Wave 1!

Finally!  We know!  This project was certainly a labor of love and went through several itirations.  As they say, patience is a virtue and for those who have been patient, our sincerest apologies but we know you'll be exceptionally excited by the high quality, poseability and detail in this Exclusive Dragons Action Vinyls set!  We thank you tremendously for hanging in there.  And for those who have not purchased, this is a must have.

THIS JUST IN!  HOT TOPIC POWER RANGERS EXCLUSIVES HITTING SHELVES NOW!
Power Rangers:

Hello He-Man fans!  TLS just launched another MOTU exclusive and it's ONLY available at Target!  Items are hitting the shelves as we speak so definitely check your local Target for availability.  The Target exclusive includes several of your favorite variants, including a Club 28 Slime Pit He-Man!  Also included are Mini-Comic and Mini-Comic Variant Editions!  The TLS x MOTU x Target offering are extremely Limited.  A great and rare collection for all He-Man fans!

Some of our friends have been on this journey with TLS since day 1.  We've sold well over a million products worldwide since the Company's start.  We're a unique story.  We've certainly bucked the trend, we're steadfast in making sure we bring a quality experience to our collectors, we pride ourselves on imagination over quantity, quality over price points and we have been a boot strapped ma and pa operation since day 1.

It's been an honor for TLS to have the opportunity to work on DBZ in our Action Vinyls format.  What a great legacy, what great characters, what great stories!  These exclusives are one and done so definitely hang on to them.  In each retailer packout, all things considering these were very low runs.  More so, we packed a lot of awesome in each figure; including killer articulation, interchangeable hands with different grips, all 7 Dragon Balls, a Shenron Build-A-Figure (FREE!), a Power Up base, accessories and collectors cards!

Hello all DBZ/Action Vinyls/TLS faithful!

When the DBZ General Release packs hit circulation, you may notice that the Super Saiyan Vegeta is labelled as a chase.  This is in fact not the case.  The ONLY chase figures in the General Release are the 1/24 Kid Buu and the 1/96 Super Saiyan Goku.  Super Saiyan Vegeta is common in the Walmart exclusive which eliminates it from being a chase in all other sets.  Although still limited edition, more of this particular character exist than a 1/48 edition.
 

Hello DBZ Fans and Collectors!  Another exclusive set is hitting retail.  Hot Topic's Exclusive packout from DBZ is available now!  Very limited in availability and includes THREE NEW CHASE Figures, including; Metallic Krillin (1/96),  Metallic Super Saiyan Vegeta (1/48) and Neon Vegeta Club 28!  A single Gold Super Saiyan Goku with official stamp, plus two prototypes are also hidden in the packout!  This will be collectors first shot at Gohan too!  Shenron Build-A-Figure is also hidden inside the 12 count Power Pak!

If you haven't heard, G.I. Joe Wave 2 is out!  ONLY select retailers stock these beautiful, detailed, articulated, and nuanced Action Vinyls!  Harkens back to the days of old when we suspended reality, got lost in the backyard and created a whole world where Snake Eyes battled the onslaught of Cobra Soldiers!  Wave 2 is packed with a rich arsenal of signature accessories and blasters!  A must have for G.I. Joe fans and fans of the Action Vinyls Universe!  AND they are available at your local Hot Topic now!

The Loyal Subjects is proud to add Walmart to the TLS Retailer family!  Starting this weekend, TLS faithfuls will find The Loyal Subjects Action Vinyls showcased in a designated Collectibles section at 2,353 Walmarts.  TLS is launching Exclusive Walmart characters and colors for Dragon Ball Z, Masters of the Universe and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers “The Movie”.  Here’s what to look for (shows picture).
