Cardboard and Vinyl charm
Can’t say I’m a huge fan of either S.W.A.T or Emergency! but those vinyl & cardboard playsets are awesome and I totally want them. That old timey computer….sigh…. LJN TV Super Stars Catalog
Pod Stallions 52: Tom Baker
Episode 52 is a unique turn on our usual tribute shows as the subject we’re speaking about is still alive and well. We salute veteran actor Tom Baker in this month’s show and celebrate not only his tenure as Doctor Who, where he cemented the character into pop culture but also his amazing turns in […]
Palomino Dreaming
If I could wish one not produced toy into existence, it would likely be the Mego Palomino play set pictured here. I had a strong affection for the Black Hole as a kid and it continues to this day. More on the Mego Black Hole line here.

1985 Child World Toy Catalog
Even though I personally was a teenager at the time, I fondly remember stocking a toy aisle full of a lot the things in this Child World Toy Flyer from 1985. This piece is chock full of happy memories for 80s kids from the popular Care Bears, Go Bots and He-Man to the more forgotten […]
Sgt Rock by Remco
I’ve never read more than one Sgt. Rock comic and I missed the toys when they were new but I really think they’re neat….
AHI Dracula on the card
I had a nice contribution by a fellow named Bob last night of this Azrak Hamway Dracula on the card. I actually didn’t have this version in the AHI Monsters gallery so it was a welcome addition. Dracula was sold in the AHI Official World Famous Super Monsters wave but in a way that distinguished him […]
