My friends at Heritage Auctions have an amazing collection of Batman items on the auction block right now and they’ve been kind enough to let me share some of this glorious collection.

Mego Museum Mint Off Card returns, and we’ve got an actual Mego Figure this time! This week we look at the newest action figure of rock legend Alice Cooper. Something I’ve wanted since I was 8; how does he stack up? Decide for yourself. What other rock stars do you want from Mego? […]

I am something of an impulsive creature. My first attempt is the Planet of the Apes Jail, a […]

While generally considered a Star Wars Knock-Off, if “Luke Solo” above wasn’t enough of a clue, the Kusan Sonic Fazer is one of those toys that’s better than Kenner’s official products.
