Punch Clowns confuse me

Punch clowns have never made sense to me, I take that back, I comletely understand why somebody would want to beat up a clown, they’re creepy. It’s stuff like Snoopy and Batman that I don’t get, you obviously love the characters, why would you want to pummel them?These kind of Punch Clowns always remind me […]

Superhero Rain Coats!

Some more things I never see at toyshows, vintage raincoats. I like how Batman and Robin look like their emulating a Golden Age comic pose while the Superman is your standard old silver age artwork that’s older than the kid wearing it.I also enjoy like the bionic man slicker, this is from Sears 1976 BTW, […]

Really Cool Superhero T Shirts

I am really captivated by these shirts, it’s something you just wouldn’t see in these days full of uniform looking style guides. Overall I’d say my favourite of the bunch is this one for Tarzan. I would wear this shirt today if i could….. On the Mego side of town I am posting a log […]

Couples shouldn’t dress alike part trois

AIIHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Can you imagine opening a box that contained his and her night dresses? Especially ones that made you look for the footprint when William Shatner drop kicked them? What’s hilarious about this for me is the guy’s expression, he’s a little too pleased to be in this get up.

Couples shouldn’t dress alike Part Deux

It’s very rare to see the woman get the short end of the stick in this combination but here it is! I wish I had better example than a 60/40 but I can’t, usually the outfit is too femmy for the man .Anyway you slice it “Dress alikes” are bad, if you’re still not convinced […]

Cool Pajamas for a Change

OK, maybe cool is a strong word, I mean parading around in these star trek pajamas might actually get you beaten up in some circles (the smug kid in this pic looks like he’s about to receive one if he doesn’t stop talking into that tricorder) but if i had seen these at 6 years […]

The League of Ugly Shirted Gentlemen

Or The League of obvious bachelours Or The Society of foreign Exchange students I think their skin tight nature makes em worse. Four days until the big event of toy geekdom, Mego Meet. If you’re in Ohio or PA, this is a really cool day trip.

Pants that should have never been

The 1976 Sears Christmas catalog has what I expect is a fad that I hope never caught on, corduroy patchwork jeans. From the Herb Tarlek casual wear collection, be sure to top them off with the biggest, whitest belt you can find! That brown pair should have been destroyed on sight and whoever designed them […]

Sesame Street Slippers!

Found these and had to post them,just for their sheer coolness. I particularly love that Bert and Ernie constitute a pair. I don’t remember these but for some odd reason I do remember wanting slippers just like these that had the McDonalds characters, God only knows why….. Next week more toys, more pajamas and some […]
