It’s Halloween season and that means a shiny new costume catalog from one of my favourite companies in the entire world, Collegeville! This year we go waaaaay back to 1968 and check out what was hot for kid’s costumes that year. Leading the charge is Doctor Doolittle but in his wake are such familiar characters […]
This year my collection of Super 8 Monster movies has increased 300 fold (mainly cause i started with like one last year). While I planned to only buy these in the wild, some good deals on our vintage toys facebook group combined with Rodan coming from a generous friend makes me a happy boy. I’m […]
I haven’t really added anything to my collection of Azrak-Hamway monster stuff in a long time. Mostly because the stuff I want is either a) extremely hard to find or b)insanely expensive or a combination of the two. That’s why I was excited to snag this open carded Kong squirt gun at the last Mego […]
I love this assortment from 1969, the majority of these characters would end up on costumes for decades. Promotion for these was done on TV spots but not in the usual manner but through participation with the myriad of local kid’s shows that peppered the landscape at the time. Here are a couple of photos: […]
I had the pleasure of visiting the toy show that started it all for me today. The CTS show was the first I ever attended (probably when it was in it’s 15th year and I in my 16th) and i’m happy to say it’s going strong. The joy of this show is that it’s an old […]
Fate landed me in Boston this week and i managed a brief tour of the amazing store Comicazi. Where Dave, Bob and Mike run an absolute Museum of vintage toy goodness. Seriously, I can’t think of anything on this scale that I’ve been too in ages and well, pictures don’t do it any justice, you […]
Episode 56 is all about the films by England’s Hammer studios and we honestly try to mention all of them including the one’s we haven’t seen! Our exhaustive retrospective talks about all the sexy vampires, frankenstein monsters, mummies, zombies that the studio that dripped blood could produce! Some of the sidetrack subjects we touch upon […]
Yesterday i saw the most fantastic collection of Halloween decorations and luckily, it’s owner Cory was totally down to let me share it with you all. What follows is presented with out commentary cause all i would is say “need it, got, need it, need it”. Click after the jump for the coolest selection of […]
While I had (briefly) “grown out” of action figures by 1983, I still liked to shove my face up against the bakery window so to speak. Revell’s Power Lords were probably the most intriguing to me as they were so….uncommercial in their designs. To be honest, their designs looked almost frightening and appealed to my […]
I honestly don’t ever remember seeing a display like this as a kid and I’d like to think I’d remember it.
