The above Enterprise water pistol pretty much epitomizes why I love rack toys in the first place. The first thing is it’s fragility, there was no way these things should have survived a trip to the car let alone being kept mint in package for 35 years. The other is, well, look at this thing, […]
While I don’t regularly talk about DVDs here, there are just some things I cannot ignore and today there are three of them. Firstly, the good folks at Cinematic Titanic (who used to be the good folks at Mystery Science Theatre 3000) have a new release in the form of “Danger On Tiki Island”.Not only […]
