For some reason I was really chuffed to discover that Japan not only likes cheap-o rack toys but that they even get the exact same kind. This little set has little stamps of the phoenix, Mark and Zoltar, it would have so easy to put this on an english card and market this to us […]
As if they didn’t have me at “Velvet Pants’, they’re throwing a free plastic belt? I’m not made of stone…..
Another terrific vintage entry from my pal Tim Baron (check out his awesome art and creations here) here he is meeting Spider-Man in a pose (and chair) usually reserved for another man in red. That is truly one of the better Spider-Man costumes featured here, thanks Tim! Send me your vintage mall appearance photos! Send […]
Our November podcast has Jason and Brian waxing nostalgic (which technically is our job) about the glory days of Starlog magazine. Starlog magazine was how both of us first cut our nerdy teeth, a wonderful window into the world of SF and fantasy that gave us that connection. It’s safe to say, this podcast owes […]
This ad from 1976 makes me happy, Matchbox MAC (Mobile Action Command) was a really fun series of figures and vehicles that are unfairly forgotten. MAC never gave kids any back story (much like the Metal Men) and let their imaginations run wild. Below is the link to the 1977 MAC catalog, enjoy!
Sesame Street turned 45 this week and honestly, I felt like I should have gotten it something. So in honour of this momentous occasion, I’m going to try and make my desktop look like this wonderful device. Sure, my blogging will suffer but I’ll be happier overall….
Man, I loves me some copyright infringing knock offs and Space Shark here is a triple play! The front featuring Mark from “Battle of the Planets” getting an assist by the Argo from “Star Blazers” neither which tie into the shark motif very well but rest assured…. Space Jaws is on the side panel! What […]
Sure it’s kind of soon after Halloween but I figured everybody could use a l’il man candy to brighten this gloomy Monday morning….
My pal Tim Baron (check out his awesome art and creations here) sent in this terrific early 80s shot of him meeting the caped crusaders. Tim tells me that “he wasn’t fool by the moustache for a second”. Good eye Tim, that Batman has “Wendy’s night manager” written all over him. Send me your vintage […]
(click on any photo for an enlargement) Like a lot of 70s kids, I cut my nerdy teeth on Starlog magazine. It was basically my window into a world of wonder that wasn’t available where I grew up. As a struggling student in the 90s, I used to visit the Starlog store in New Jersey […]
