Very happy to showcase my latest video collaboration with Jason Lenzi, this month we tackle one of my passions, Monster action figures in the most appropriate month to do so. The Tomland Famous Monsters of Legend are one of the rarest sets of monster toys in the world and in this volume we try to […]
It’s pretty weird to see Kenner announce something as big as this with such a crummy ad but I’m guessing they had no time to craft a decent ad. Below is the first notice to the trade showing the figures:
Ever since I found this guy sitting at the cash register of Suspect Video on Queen and talked the manager out of it (good thing too because the store sadly burned down not long after) I’ve been wondering what the heck he was. I by and large just assumed a knock off figure sold in […]

We kick off the show playing catch up and […]
