While taping our upcoming Podcast about Apocalypse movies, I couldn’t help but bring up one of the weirder but fonder memories of my childhood. Behold the Forbidden Zone Trap, my favourite Mego play set of all time. I wanted this so bad as a kid it hurt, which is weird because it’s basically a city […]
The Donnelly boys made a severe miscalculation on their first day of middle school, their therapy sessions continue to this day…..
I was recently gifted this, the kind person who found it thought i’d dig it. The gesture alone floored me but so did the toy. Popeye rack toys could fill football fields but the majority of them are nondescript items with little connection to the character, some of them laughable. Leave it to Fleetwood to go […]
I was disappointed that the day after my son was born that a box containing white shoes and matching belt did not magically appear on my door step. I do fully expect them the day I retire.
I’m honoured to on the staff (you should see the lunch room!) of this fun new project The Action Figure Hall of Fame.

It’s a really fun project and unlike other Hall of Fames, we’ll be able […]

One of our better windows into our pop culture past is the T Shirt selection, this assortment just punches you in the face with it’s “1979ness”.
I couldn’t afford to buy everything I saw at this past weekend’s Mego Meet festivities but I could photograph them. Above is a real beauty from Durham Industries, a company I need to talk about more. Even though a Spider-Man that gently strolls in a Barnaby Jones like manner is something no kid needs, who […]
I love stuff like licensed rain coats mostly because few people thought to save them, especially fond of the Star Trek one. I have nothing against Holly Hobby but sometimes it’s hard to scan a catalog without destroying it in the process…
The underlying theme of this year’s Mego Meet customs auction was Brick Mantooth, I donated Brick heads to any customizer that wanted to provide their own take at our spokes model. The results are as I’d hoped, a fun fusion of mad skills and imagination. Above is Brikk Mannigan and yes, he goes commando. Meet […]
