Unexpected Halloween costume collection

I honestly never set out in this life to collect Halloween costumes, I blame working on this site because now I’ve got a bunch of these things littering my house and I thought I’d share. It all began with the Ben Cooper Frankenstein above, which I bought two years ago yesterday at a toy show […]

One Strange Marvel Team Up

  My good pal at Heroes West Coast suprised me last week with some pictures of a truly rare item that I could not afford to own. This display of Marvel Comics “Action Figures” (most of us would call these Jigglers) is both wonderful and well, odd. The assortment on the front kind of proves […]

The Halloween Spirit

James sent me in this awesome shot of himself still wearing his Ben Cooper Superman costume well past October 31st as what can be evidenced by what is in the background. I say, Bravo to you James. I find the sight of Halloween decorations being replaced by Santa on October 31st somewhat bothersome.

Godzilla Day!

Speaking of big fans, here is Lou in a Collegeville Jaws costume, Lou is still actively involved in Jaws Fandom, check out this youtube link. I’m Batman! Here’s Chris Franklin as the caped crusader, […]

Leisure-A-Likes

Because looking like a gigantic sleaze isn’t just for him anymore. Now you can both harrass Pat Benetar in that “Love is a Battlefield” video…. Vintage Halloween I got a couple of cool Darth Vaders today, first off is Russ from Toytraderz again rocking this Ben Cooper set. And here’s Jason from Bif!Bang!Pow! (makers of […]

He’s no good to me dead…

Halloween 1980 and that’s yours truly rocking the Ben Cooper Boba Fett outfit. I really liked this suit for a couple of reasons, the first being that you could see through the mask but people couldn’t see in real well, the other being that the picture on the front of the smock totally looked like […]
