Hulk smash puny pencil crayons

   Occasionally, I  find things in here that I have no recollection of buying. Although with my preoccupation with all things Superheroes and school supplies, it’s not a shock that I own this. Hulk went from a b lister to chairman of the freaking board in the late 70s. Visit our store for copies of […]

Colouring Book Theatre: Star Trek

Star Trek: Coloring Book By Saalfield  (1975),           Another submission from the very generous Tracy, this is the fifth time I’ve covered Star Trek on CBT and I do so because a) they are mostly terrible and b) I like terrible.             This book by Saalfield is head and […]

Pod Stallions Episode 28: Trek Kids 2

With last month’s passing of Leonard Nimoy, we decided to pick up where we left off when last discussing Star Trek. This episode touches upon the highs and lows of the Star Trek movie franchise, ending at part 6. We also discuss the (minimalist) 80s merchandise, conventions, films the cast did and don’t hate us […]

Star Trek Week: Capes by Norben

I don’t normally buy party favours but these, without hyperbole, are the single greatest Party Favours on the planet.   The most charming thing about this to me is the inability to get the tunic […]

Star Trek Week: Pinball

I’ve featured the AHI Bagatelle’s before but this appears to be the more “deluxe” version. I ran into one of these on the weekend and it took every fiber of my being to resist it. More Star Trek Rack Toys

Star Trek Week: Shirts by Donmoor

 I kick off Star Trek week with a personal victory. Back in the mid 70s, Don Moor released a slew of child sized Star Fleet uniforms and it was love at first sight when I saw them at the “Tot to Teen” shop I was dragged to as a kid. I was denied entrance into […]

Pod Stallions Epsiode 27b: The Krofft Super Show (Part 2)

Seeing as we were unceremoniously cut off from finishing last month’s show, Jason and myself decided to cut a “mini-sode” in addition to our regular show (which debuts next Friday) to finish what we started. We pick up on “Pink Lady and Jeff” talk about the Bay City Rollers, briefly touch on DC Follies and […]
