I love stuff like this, in the mid seventies Sears marketed this “Beyond Tomorrow Lunar Space Station” play set with three handpainted “alien” figures that were clearly supposed to be Kirk, Spock and Uhura. What’s more weird is this seems to be originally an MPC playset based on the Gerry Anderson Puppet series “Fireball XL5” […]
To win the hand of the lovely Irene, these gentlmen will need to settle their differences with Backgammon!
I could be wrong as I’m Canadian but I’m not sure any kid ever thought “I wish I had a John Paul Jones doll”, this seems like bicentennial overload. If you had these as a kid and thought up exciting adventures for Ben Franklin like “The secret of the Bi-Focal Wearing Mummy’s Tomb”, please correct […]

Just thought that instead of talking vintage, I’d point out my favourite nerdy retro treats of the last year. Movies Star Trek: Oh hot damn did I […]
Well, I’m back on the wagon and I thought I’d open by sharing something that arrived just in time for Christmas, a portrait of PS spokesmodel Brick Mantooth by artist Tim Baron. I was a fan of Tim’s previously for his portraits of Mego figures but I’m a sucker for Mantooth art. One of these […]
Thanks to everybody for a great year, 2009 wasn’t my greatest personally but the one thing I could look forward to were the great folks who chime in here, make me laugh, send me stuff for the site and most of all, feel the love. The experience doing this site and blog has been wonderful […]
