Today we have another guest colouring book review, this time from Rex who brings us possibly the weirdest colouring book I’ve ever seen. As souveniers go, this one almost seems to punish you for visiting. Bless you Rex and take it away…‘Country Music Wax Museum”World-famous Madame Tussauds wax museum offers audiences a chance to examine […]
I know I promised a Cylon picture (and I’ll get to that) but I just realized that today makes the fourth anniversary of this blog. So it seemed fitting to unveil Card #0 of the PlaidStallions trading cards, the Brick Mantooth action figure. I cannot believe that it has been four years since I first […]
Hasbro was pretty adept at marketing the G.I. Joe line to kids as evidenced by this 1974 newsletter sent to members of “The Adventure Team”.
