5 Awesome Things on eBay this New Years Eve Jetsons Shogun Warriors Rack Toy (eBay Link)- I am not a big fan of the Jetson’s but I do love Shogun Warriors and that’s what this toy used to be. Mattel marketed these as “Shogun Warriors Rocket Tops” in the late 1970s, how they ended up […]
Knock-Off Unboxing Hey, it’s Christmas Eve, so let’s open a mystery box of Knock-Offs brought to me by Santa (at least I think that was the DHL guy’s name), and I can show you the most extraordinary KO figure that I have ever purchased. Meet Frank, Dolly girl and The Terror from Beyond Space! Merry […]
Santa Clause Conquers the Martians Comic Book (eBay Link)– This movie is my favourite Christmas movie, it’s one that just hits me in the feels. Sure, it’s kind of terrible but it’s also weirdly competent in other arenas. This comic from Dell (the bad movie company of comics) is wonderful in it’s own right. Hulk […]

Happy 9th birthday to my book, Rack Toys: Cheap Crazed Playthings, unleashed onto an unsuspecting world in 2012 after nearly two years of hard work. I think it’s funny that my newest book Knock-Offs is currently in the final stages of production. Knock-Offs was initially supposed to follow up Rack Toys in 2014, but […]
Croner Buck Rogers Figure from Australia This is one of those items that up until a few years ago, I had never seen. Then, boom! A few have popped up and now they seem to arrive with some sort of frequency. I want this but I’ve spent my allowance three times over this month, so […]
Hey folks, I’m happy to say that I’m putting the final touches on Knock-Offs after spending the last 24 hours with this glorious press proof.
