Star Blazers was a huge phenomenon in my neighbourhood when it hit the airwaves in 1979, my friends and I would gather every day at the one house whose ariel got the channel just to see if the Argo did indeed save earth. That’s why these action figures produced by Nomura in Japan blew my […]
I’ve featured this before but it’s so awesome it deserves another pass, the Scooby Doo song and dance record player is one of the cooler record players I’ve ever seen. Fred don’t dance.
