Confessions of a 1982 video game junkie
When I think about 1982, my mind drifts to three things, action figures, Doctor Who novels (mostly written by Terrance Dicks) and VIDEO GAMES.

Pod Stallions Mini Sode 4: Top Five Christmas Presents
Ok, this isn’t much of Mini as it runs over an hour (Boy, we can talk!) but it is a fun show nonetheless. For this “Mini” Jason proposed the challenge that we talk about our “top five” Christmas presents as kids. That’s a hard thing to pick but we managed. Topics include Kenner Star Wars […]

Arco Toys The Other World Catalog
Arco’s the Other World was one of many fantasy toy lines that came out in the early 80s to cash in on the “Sword and Sorcery” craze lead by Mattel’s Masters of the universe. Unlike many of it’s competitors the line had no cartoon to back it up (although comic books were included in it’s […]
Durham Kung Fu!
The Durham Kung Fu figure seemed to be everywhere in the early 1970s, not based on the David Carradine series it simply captured the culture’s then obsession with martial arts. I really wanted one of these as a kid but they’re pretty cheaply made and I’ve heard no end of stories about how his hands […]
