I’ve just returned from my favourite toy convention of all time, Mego Meet and please excuse the sleepy voice but I haven’t had much sleep! Thought it would be fun to go over the various items I picked up at this weekend’s festivities, stuff from Planet of the apes, the Monster Squad, Stretch Armstrong, Godzilla, […]
Heading off to the annual Mego Meet toy show in Columbus this weekend, where I will be giving updates on my twitter and facebook pages.

Just in case you forgot what decade Star Wars came out, it was the 1970s. I wish I could I say I owned these but this is courtesy of my pal David Lockwood. I’m pretty sure the comments section of this post will be “I’d wear those right now” Please drink this in Don’t forget […]
Bit of a departure this week as I’m talking about a figure I literally don’t know anything about. This mysterious figure is from Portugal, appears to have been made in the late 1970s and is clearly based on the Kamen Rider tv series from Japan. The big question is why? Why make a very nice […]

I never got the fever although i didn’t mind the brothers Gibb. Years later my teenage son would start playing BeeGee’s records loudly, I guess that’s how you rebel against parents who still listen to GWAR. We live in sad “Dog earless” times people.
