Big Jim was an international sensation in 1979, he just wasn’t available in the country of his birth. By 1979, Big Jim was still enjoying popularity in Europe where he had gone through several changes and permutations to become a strong compeititor to the Hasbro lines based on GI Joe which was also no longer […]
I’m finally coming to grips with the actual amount of time I probably spent watching the Donny and Marie show, sure the choice to watch it was made by my older sister, who at five years my senior could totally take me. However, I will attest to kind of enjoying the experience. I watched a lot of […]
Just in case an alien race comes to our ruined planet in the far distant future and stumble upon this image, I just want to repeat, this is not a regular thing men do.
If you’re stranded on an alien planet and the beer bottles aren’t screw off, this puppy will be worth it’s weight in gold. What’s sad about this thing is, I’ve spent about twenty minutes looking through catalogs trying to find the version of this that has images from the show’s second season. It’s getting a […]
It is with great joy that I unveil the packaging art for the upcoming “Project: Mantooth” figure “Micronaughty”, produced for me by the amazing Tim Baron. I’ve admired Tim’s style for some time and was happy he wanted to work with me on something. I offered him this project because I knew he’d do it […]
Judging by the tremendous amount of feedback I got on my review of Lou Scheimer: Creating the Filmation Generation, I can honestly say I am not alone in my adoration of this once great studio. If anything, I’m part of a mob, it feels pretty great. I’ll announce the winner of the contest below but […]
I’m still learning things. When I last posted about the wonderful Marx “Ready Gang” series of action figures, I pontificated that these old west figures had bombed in their initial year of 1977. Now I discover that the line not only didn’t bomb, it continued into a second year and even added new items […]
After four days of wrestling with one of the most horrible courier companies known to man, my advance copies of Rack Toys are here. This is the first time I’ve ever actually held my book and I admit I was shaking. Mostly because I was really worried that there would be something, anything in there that would […]
This play suit hails from the UK and is most likely the product of Berwick, it’s almost like a larger version of the Kenner Steve Austin doll’s outfit. I’d have loved it to pieces as a kid, imagine combining it with the Funstuf Electrogenic arm?
I think this figure from Durham wonderfully illustrates the true joy and cheap chicanery often involved with Rack Toys. The packaging is enticing and vibrant, not to mention well done. It promises action with a slightly “Evel Knievely” setting. The figure however, is a chubby guy with a flag, who looks like he might […]
