This Star Wars race set may be pushing it a little when it comes to licensing but there is something oddly appealing about it as well. I think I like the Giant Vader and Luke Skywalker heads, which just seem kind of wrong…. Halloween Ad of the Day: This one is for the Mego World’s […]
I hate to burst any bubbles here but men do not stand undercomfortably close to one another for long periods of time thrusting while in their underpants. Catalogs would have you believe this is an everyday occasion, they are lying to you. Also mustard underpants = fail. Halloween Countdown piece of the Day: Mix and […]
Did these ever see release? This ad is the first time I’ve heard of them but it seemed that Amsco was about ten years ahead of the Madballs trend. Not only do you get Superheroes and Monsters but Planet of the Apes as well. The cards for these are fantastic, if anybody knows if they […]
Together, they’re Dynamite! And for the Halloween Countdown today, we’ve got this little treat:That’s the Pressman “Dick Smith” Make Up Kit, which inspired at least one person I know for sure to enter the special effects industry.

I can’t believe it’s October already, that means the countdown to my favourite holiday has begun. Like every year, I’m going to be running a Horror themed bonus feature for the beginning of the month and flip the switch to total “Orange and Black” by the end. Lots of fun stuff this season, four new […]
