Psycho Circus Action Figure Descriptions
From: Chris Cook
I just got back from Mcfarlane Toys' show room in New York and they had on display the new Psycho Circus action figures ....all I can say is they are awesome. They look very cool, and very scary. I own a tiny little hole in the wall collectors' store with my parents so I went down to New York today to check out the new stuff at the toy fair.

KISS Toys Launch Reunion Tour
From: ToyFare Magazine via GodoThndr@aol.com
Play all night and party every day. Some of the most popular toys of the last year are gearing up for their second tour - literally. A new series of McFarlane Toys' action figures based on the rock band KISS will hit shelves in the second quarter of 1998. And this time, the toys feature a concept near and dear to the McFarlane folk: their KISS: The Psycho Circus comic book.
"The first KISS toys were a massive success," said Terry Fitzgerald, Todd McFarlane Productions president of entertainment. "Sales were five times our initial projections. And the band loved them, too." In fact, the band loved them so much that the KISS: The Psycho Circus toy line turns over all design work directly to TMP. Action figure two-packs pair each band member - in new TMPdesigned costumes based on the traditional KISS glam rock costumes - with, as Fitzgerald puts it, "their comic book counterpart." In the Psycho Circus series, each KISS member has a double in a traveling circus. KISS bassist Gene Simmons, for example, is represented as a circus ringmaster. The Psycho Circus toys will couple a new KISS Gene with a ringmaster Gene, and so on with the rest of the band, pairing Paul Stanley, Peter Criss and Ace Frehley with their Circus doubles. And it hardly stops there.
The toys also serve as a concert souvenir, as McFarlane's new costume designs will be worn by the real-life band members on their 1998 tour dubbed - you guessed it - "The Psycho Circus." "We were blown away when KISS and their management asked us to do design work that would actually be incorporated into the tour," Fitzgerald said. "It's amamzing in terms of prestige and it's great because the new toys will have the band's real as-seen-on-stage look. We're amazed that the 'Psycho Circus' concept that KISS came up with has become a comic, toy line and now their next tour."
Look for the four KISS: The Psycho Circus action-figure packs to carry an $8-$10 price tag, depending on retailer. -- Jim McLauchlin
