When it comes to Star Wars rip off figures, there is no more blatant than the wonderful Tomland’s Starroid Raiders. These guys usually sold for a buck (far less than a SW figure) and had GREAT names, from left to right we have Zang, Tango, Wahh, Zbu, Aton and Dado. Like a lot of their […]
Did you know that children are growing up every day deprived of the confidence of wearing a suit made by Dupont? Or the luxury of wearing a white belt with white loafers?You can change all that with a (large) donation to the Plaidstallions Boy’s Clubs or “Brick’s Kids”, your donation will go towards educating a […]
Well, I finally found the often promised, never delivered Superman book so I figured I’d push other stuff out of the way and get to it before I lose it again.This book is marked 1975 but I remember getting it much after the Christopher Reeve movie debuted, I vividly recall colouring in it while watching […]
Tom Bligh proudly shows off his Maskatron figure, man, that was one fun toy. A young Rob Kelly admires his Uncle Fred’s can collection. I used to make a punch with Tahitian Treat and Rum back in college that tasted just like budget cough syrup. Rob’s T shirt suggests a Batman fan but now he’s […]

Who needs the sun when you can shut yourself off from the world with these fabulously brilliant styles?
Big Jim’s P.A.C.K has always been a grand obsession of mine although space issues forced me to part with much of my collection years ago. The carded outfits (like the SWAT set pictured here) are especially large and hard to display. The Swamp Boat pictured here is difficult to find especially boxed, there is also […]
Davey Jones had a yard sale and I wasn’t notified? Now, I’m pissed. You know, they’re nice but I bet they could higher on the waist if you tried.
Logical Toy: Planet of the Apes Remote Control Horse, apes all rode horses and this makes perfect sense. Nonsense Toy: Planet of the Apes Zoom Cycle, the Ape civilization never had anything motorized and this looks an awful lot like a repackaged Batman toy. Please don’t send me comments about the Animated show having cars, […]
Still looking for Superman, I found another colouring book, this time in my wife’s stuff.Battle of the Planets was an americanization of a the Japanese series “Gatchaman” removing a lot of the violence and adding an R2-D2 clone to give the show a Star Wars feel. The original series didn’t involve space travel at all, […]
