Hat Decisions
I like the Quill because it reminds me of those Robin Hood hats you get at Disney world. But “the Baron” turns an everyday Joe like me into Superfly. At the end of the day, it’s the Turban for me. I hope it comes in lavender.
Space Master 2002: A Rack Toy Quest
Above is the Space Master 2002, my dad sold these around 1977-1978. I remembered everything about these fun toys, how they looked, that card art with the skimpy dressed lady, everything. Except the name. For years, I’ve tried everything but searching for “Spaceship” on ebay is well, a long day. I had kind of resolved […]
Suspension of Belief
I know what you’re thinking, what about the children? Surely they deserve to look every bit as smooth as this man? Young men everywhere rejoice, It’s what every red headed step child needs. I cannot wait to see the look of joy on my son’s face this Christmas morn, when we open our matching sets.
Quick Curl Barbie, Mod Hair Ken commercial
Good news, I stumbled on some more toy commercial reels and after years of sitting on my desk, I had them converted. First up is a little something for the ladies in the form of this early commercial. Here is a link if you can’t see the embed code. I love how putting side burns […]
Amigos Del Terror
Amigos Del Terror (which translates into “Terror Friends”) is an Argentinian off shoot of the Imperial Monsters figures discussed earlier in the day. The main differences are that the figures are blow molded (meaning they’re hollow) and they dropped the Wolfman for the line. While I’m not fond of the Imperial Monsters, I’m gaga for […]
Dave’s 70s Halloween Review
Dave sent in this awesome review of his 70s Halloween experiences. I wish I had such good records, Dave also had great taste in costumes, above is Batman but you already knew that. 73 saw him choose the Skeleton, a staple of Halloween. 76 had him choose Spider-Man, always a good choice. Frankenstein for 75, […]
Imperial Monsters
I have to admit that I’ve never warmed to the Imperial Monster figures, they came out when I was a teenager and I was spoiled by what came earlier. Since then, I’ve met several people who owed their adult monster love to these very figures, plus this display box is pretty swell, so I thought […]
Costume Spotlight: The Shadow
I gotta say, I’ve got nice friends. This month is always a bit of a stretch to come up with a whole month of Halloween updates. Enter my pal Matt, Shadow collector extraordinaire (check out some of his cool collection here) . While I knew Collegeville made a Shadow costume, I had no idea […]
More Glowing Monster Puffy Stickers
So in my post two weeks ago about these wonderful items, I ended with “does anyone collect these?”. Enter Mike, who chimed in with “I do” and he proceded to share his killer collection with us. I had no idea that some of these, like the giant version pictured above, existed. The photos below are […]
AHI Creature!
Up until last summer, I was pretty much done with collecting AHI figures, completely talking myself out of the one figure that I (and my site) needed, a carded AHI Creature. This mostly because they’re always so pricey, I mean “both kids need braces” pricey. So I just kept the idea that if the opportunity […]
