If you should die before you wake…
From the “Attention Kindertrauma” Dept : There is no way you could go to sleep with that staring back at you every night and not grow up just a little bit broken.
Shag Your Toilet
Oh Bathroom Carpet, you never fail to send shivers down my soul..
To the Batmobile Larry!
Larry sent in this cool shot of him and Batman from a Columbus car show circa 1981. It’s weird but this is how I kind of picture Batman. I’d also like to know where Larry got that killer Flash T Shirt! I have more vintage shots of Larry from next week and it should come […]
The Adventures of Don, Bill and Jac!
“Don Bill Jac” sounds a bit like an obscure early 70s film you’d catch at 4 am, there’s good reason for this as it’s the name of a toyline that could only exist in the 1970s. Don, Bill and Jac consisted of the titular heroes and their “each sold seperately” outfits and accessories. If you’ve […]

Much of this stuff was on clearance until the early 1990s until it became collectible and washed up at toyshows all of a sudden. Take into consideration this desk set created by Azrak Hamway (AHI) […]
One to Grow On
Never tell an elderly relative that you like flowers..
Toys I saw at MegoMeet
This past weekend’s Mego Meet convention was another wallet draining explosion of 70s toy goodness combined with a comraderie (translation: I got drunk). While devoted solely to toys made by Mego corporation, there were a lot of other gems there that were interesting, dare i say weird, so I decided to share. The Korg thermos, […]
