The party crashers
Gentlemen, we’ve got five parties to hit today, let’s split up and rendezvous at the bowling alley by five for Timmy Schlotstein’s barmitzmah. That cake isn’t going to eat itself!
Dark Lord of the Food Court
Tom sent me some great photos of Darth Vader at a Mall Appearance in Macon Georgia just prior to the release of Empire. What’s cool about this is Tom is now a big Star Wars costumer himself these days and has a website called Costumebot you should check out. He mentions that this Vader costume […]
Vintage Toy Store Photos Volume 12
It’s time once again to be whisked back to a simplier time, one that was dominated by “Mom and Pop” toy chains and the wonderful, almost chaotic way toys were distributed. Plaidstallions Vintage Toy Store Photos volume twelve is different from previous entries in that it features images from a photo album of a former Mattel employee, who […]
When moustaches ruled the earth
Captured for a moment in time, when the Moustache hit it’s peak. It’s been all downhill ever since, Thomas Magnum helped in the 80s but you know…..
Watch ’em swing
I’m sure this looked fantastic.
The human adventure is just beginning…
Star Trek : The Motion Picture holds a special place in my heart but the rack toys don’t hold a candle to the cool stuff companies like AHI put out for the original series. AHI made a myriad phaser guns, flying enterprises and parachuting spocks, Larami gave us …wallets. Wallets that are exactly the same in every way […]
Sweater buddies
Royce never left the house without Dougy on account of him being all shy of girls and stuff. Sadly, Royce would soon learn that the majority of Dougy’s “conquests” would be works of fiction.
Nerd Therapy Sessions: Trapped!
For this tale we venture back to 1976 and visit the mall, where I sort of grew up and talk about one of my more traumatic early experiences. More after the jump: I was raised in a mall. Well, at least partially anyway. You see, my grandparents owned a shoe store in a middle class mall in our […]
Spidey meets Kelly
Kelly sent in this great picture of a Spidey appearance circa 1978. We’ve had dozens of Spider-Man appearances over the decades but I can honestly say, this is the most adorable one I’ve ever seen. Send me your mall appearance photos!
The Doctor Who Pattern Book
I was gifted this book sight unseen by my pal Andy, who told me it was perfect for the site. I was skeptical, that is until I opened it. It’s the perfect combination of nerdy fan love mixed with fashion mockery. There is as much to mock as there is to absolutely love in this sweet […]
