I had the pleasure of visiting the toy show that started it all for me today. The CTS show was the first I ever attended (probably when it was in it’s 15th year and I in my 16th) and i’m happy to say it’s going strong. The joy of this show is that it’s an old […]
Fate landed me in Boston this week and i managed a brief tour of the amazing store Comicazi. Where Dave, Bob and Mike run an absolute Museum of vintage toy goodness. Seriously, I can’t think of anything on this scale that I’ve been too in ages and well, pictures don’t do it any justice, you […]

I’m truly grateful for all the amazing support and laughter this year. I’m off to eat Nachos, drink hard cider and watch “Airport ’79: […]
Ahhhhh the 1980s were a goldmine for costumed character appearances from toy lines weren’t they?Do you have photos like this in a drawer? Any fun memories of the experience? This is the kind of thing I’m looking for in my next book “Mall of Justice”. How you can get involved: I’m looking for your photos and […]
Star Wars pretty much dominated my Halloween experiences from ’78 to ’82, I can’t be alone on this. Vader, Storm Trooper, Boba Fett and Yoda were my choices as a kid.
