Mexican Dr Steel in box (sponsored link)

I recently found my Big Jim grails and of course, something really cool comes along. Dr. Steel was a bad guy in Mexico and he lead a crew of baddies that included an alien. Things got crazy and wonderful. I wish I had the disposable income to justify this but I don’t, It sure is purty though. Well, as purty as Dr. Steel can get, he’s pretty tough.

 

Mecha Godzilla Model Kit (sponsored link) 

This thing i a very happy memory, I ordered it in the ninth grade after seeing an ad in Starlog (the 80s  nerd internet) and I loved it. Godilla stuff was tough when I was a kid so being a teen with disposable income opened the floodgates, which, seeing as I’m going to SDCC have never closed. 

King Kong kid’s t shirt (eBay Sponsored Link) —

Man, I did not see this Kong until I was an adult but being a kid when this came out sure had an effect on me. I see this image and just think “Coooool!” and I’m actually not a big fan of the film itself.

 

PS I went on the Universal Kong ride for the majority of the day in 1991. It was a rainy Tuesday and I felt like the Omega Man. It was magical save for Jaws being broken.

Terminator Knock-Off (sponsored link) —

“Come mitt me if you want to leave.” This is not only a Terminator Knock-Off, but if you squint, it’s Lorenzo Lamas as “Renegade!” So it’s two things that are equally relevant!

 

Action Man Cassette tape Adventure (sponsored link) —

So I stumbled upon this and fell in love, I really need to see if anybody put this on YouTube. I grew up with the Peter Pan GI Joe records (ah-mazing) and finding out the story continued in the 1980s? With British Accents? Colour me there!
