Gamma Radiation Sold Separately

The Amazing 3-D Man
Yikes! He’s coming right for me!
Harsh Chair Reality
Another item that I’d love to own but my body style (The Lummox TM) prohibits such purchases, I’d destroy this thing in a week. I used to babysit for a couple that had one, it’s part chair, part swing, all goodness.
Superman VS Godzilla
Red Kryptonite has turned Superman into a blob of corn syrup! How will he defeat Godzilla now?I love the lower pic of Elastic Superman hugging Godzilla’s leg, that’s how my daughter fights me. I used to have a couple of these Supermen, one burst and I found a mouse trapped in the corn syrup. Needless […]
MIA: The Short Sleeved Jacket
The short sleeved jacket was last seen at a fourth of July party in 1982, known whereabouts include thrift stores and old folks homes. If you have any sightings please contact the Plaid Stallions missing fashions squad immediately.
Rip Off of the Jedi

Return of the Man Dress
This guy’s face is hysterical, you can’t look like a badass sir when you are dressed like you belong in a stage version of “T’was the night before Christmas”. Where exactly is this couple anyway? The detention cell of a UFO?
A 33 year old mystery solved
In kindergarten (which was 1974), I played with a type of weird toy where the figures all connected, for hours at a time. I’ve been trying to figure out what they were ever since with no luck, so I just figured they were education toys produced by some anonymous company. Nope, they were produced by […]
