Mr Spock is concerned about your social life
I love this ad for the “Star Trek metal detection probe” or as I call it the “Social Life Eradicator” has a slightly worried looking Mr Spock overseeing this action. He’s not liking this one bit.

Gypsies, Tramps and Mego

My choice of figures to collect were these English made figures by a company called Inpro (Thank […]
