Another addition to my ever growing obsession of Whitman poly bagged three pack comics, this pack from Star Wars is something I definitely had. I remember being supremely confused by these ancillary characters specifically the big green rabbit. In hindsight, Jax is probably less ridiculous than most prequel characters and I certainly can appreciate these comics as an adult. […]
It’s been entirely too long since I did an entry for Colouring Book Theater (coincidentally, if anybody wants to send in a Superhero Mall appearance, I’d be your friend) so I thought I’d do some new ones for 2013. The original Dune entry proved to be one of the most popular things I’ve done here […]
As much as I enjoyed my childhood, it sometimes pains me to think of the stuff we didn’t get, for whatever boring grown up decision. Sure, some of these licensed wouldn’t have sold and could have forced the companies into risky financial positions but baby Brian wants his toys dammit! Here are the top ten […]
I’m very proud to announce that the latest issue of Mad Magazine features a l’il blurb about my book Rack Toys. I was a pretty loyal Mad reader as a kid (only straying to Cracked for those Monster issues) and I’m pretty sure at one point my parents told me I was rotting my brain […]
Funk meets Country all this week at the airport Ramada Inn…
This is a piece I wanted to add to Rack Toys but it got a little wordy and too insider, so I saved it for here. Most Space:1999 fans are at least slightly aware of the fundimensions “The Alien” model kit, which has no connection to the show. It is in fact, a revamped Goerge […]
True Confession time: As much as I go on and on about vintage Space Lego sets, I a) never had any as a kid (save for one small set I bought with my own money) and b) don’t have any now. However, I am luckily married to a Space Lego collector and with the help […]
Christopher Elam of the great blog OWARI submitted this great bit of 1981, this being his ninth birthday he has received the Mattel Kraken. Being of a similiar age, I wax fondly at those blockbusters that diverted our attention from Star Wars, albeit briefly…
I was thumbing through the 1979 Southbend catalog the other night (click on it to enlarge) and correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think any of this stuff got made. Southbend made some cool toys for the movie, particularly and electronic Enterprise that is still quite popular with collectors but I’ve never seen […]
Hey, if you woke up this morning and thought it was a normal Thursday, don’t panic, I’ve got you covered. You can thank me later. Here are a few items that are way better than gas station flowers (trust me on this). For Her: Jewelry, the bigger the better, personally I’m going for the unhappy toad. […]
