My Fantasy Island Collection

Inspired by the new movie “My Dinner with HervĂ©” (Dinklage is pretty amazing in it BTW) I thought it would be fun to showcase the nick nacks (pun intended) that I’ve collected from the TV series “Fantasy Island“. Growing up I rarely missed the show on Saturday nights, it’s mix of fantasy, comedy and horror […]

Cool Collections: John’s Monsters

I LOVE it when folks share their collections with me, especially when it’s stuff near and dear to my heart like Monster toys. John was kind enough to give us a peak into his lair today and it’s a drool worthy assortment of old and new, more after the jump. If you dare! A lot […]

Evel’s Crash Car Today

Recently I got an email from a fellow by the name of Jerry asking about Evel Knievel’s famous Crash car. I get a lot of emails (I don’t have any Stretch Armstrong’s for sale, sorry) and just assumed he was another interested toy collector. Which was a total mistake because while Jerry likes toys he’s […]

Cool Collections: Frank S

My mailbox got filled a couple of weeks ago with pictures of one of the grooviest toy rooms I’ve ever seen and I’m happy to share. The most awesome thing about Frank’s collection is the variety, I wouldn’t know what to say he does collect other than the 70s itself. Everywhere you look there’s little […]

Cool Collections: Dan Bru

Dan Bru, a graphicdesigner/artist/blogger living in West Paris, Maine dropped me a line this week with some peaks at his uber cool upstairs office. Dan muses on comics, art and pop culture on his very own blog 3-d monster.That Brianiac figure is one of Dan’s own creations, which reminded that I used to know him […]

Cool Collections: Dion Thurman

I’ve always wanted to do features on people’s collections, so when Dion offered shots of his 70’s toy collection, there was no better place to start. Above we’ve got three staples of the seventies, KISS, Jaws and the Six Million Dollar man, sweeeeeet! I spy and Aurora Creature kit and a Vincent Price Shrunken Head […]
