Occasionally when I’m trolling through my smelly books (Catalogs always smell “Basementy”) I find something I’ve never seen before. Case in point this “Smokey and the Bandit 2” play set by ERTL. I had no idea that such a thing existed and ERTL used such attention to detail that included the (IMO Movie Ruining) Elephant. […]
Why, it’s half past hideous! I think the stand out, greatest pieces are those cats, if I could find a case of those I’d give them to every friend and family member I knew, just to see who loved me enough to actually display it. I’m thinking even my Gramma would pitch this the moment […]
Never heard of this chain but I’d like to fill a cart with Aurora Comic Scenes kits, please.
“The Baconer” was like a toaster but instead of rotten ol’ bread, it cooked something important, Bacon! I think of all my thoughts in a day, about one third are bacon related. I’ve thought about trying to track one of these bad boys down on the secondary market but my wife has this whole “me […]
I’ve always wanted to do features on people’s collections, so when Dion offered shots of his 70’s toy collection, there was no better place to start. Above we’ve got three staples of the seventies, KISS, Jaws and the Six Million Dollar man, sweeeeeet! I spy and Aurora Creature kit and a Vincent Price Shrunken Head […]
Many thanks to Chaz Rose for this killer pic, Chaz tells me he brought a Mego Spiderman and asked him “Is this You?” How awesome is that?More Mall Appearances
In the early seventies, Mattel toys had a big hit on their hands with Big Jim, a nine inch muscle bound sports hero/man’s man who came packaged in his underpants. Jim’s entire structure was mostly built on non violent, positive activities such as sports and outdoor adventures. This seems to be the result of parental […]
As wonderfully creepy as the new Burger King ad campaign is, it should be remembered that the original characters were creepy (especially the Duke of Doubt) to begin with and that is when they weren’t trying. This doll has been the subject of a running joke in my life, for years, no matter what toy […]
The Turtle Neck/Jacket combination is a little something I like to call the “Botany 500” look, named after the men’s clothing label that provided wardrobe to many seventies celebs such as Merv Griffen. Just about every thug who chased Cannon (I guess you just had to walk fast) or threw a swing at Barnaby Jones […]
When I started out doing trading card #9, I wanted to do something for the ladies. The Fembot seemed like a great start, sure she’s a girl but also a robot whose face comes off, total win/win. For card #10, I felt the need to do something that wasn’t action figure based, the Green Machine […]
