I dug up this VHS tonight, I’ve held for Twenty-five years when “King Video” in Oshawa was going under; it was, like, one of the first local chains in the area, so being a media junkie, I made damn sure to check it out. While my biggest regret was not buying the entire dump bin […]
I got this catalogue just after Christmas, and I wanted to close the year with the single reason I had to have it. This glorious page of plastic joy. I never saw this page as a kid, but wow, that’s how the inside of my brain looked when I was five. This page, with it’s […]

With no offense to Daddy Warbucks, the Dukes of Hazzard or the Smurfs but the WKRP record player is hands down the best one made in the 1980s. The “Sing Along” aspect allowed you to actually “Be” Dr. Johnny Fever or Venus Flytrap but likely no kid wanted to be Bucky. Also, I want to […]

As follow-up to our video about bootleg V items (see it here) I took some photos of the Italian Visitor figure I recently picked up. I have to tell you that it’s one of my favourite additions in a while. That is mainly because my V collection is somewhat small. Unlike many bootleg/knock-off toys, this […]
